Ok, I get payed a car allowance by work, $10k a year, tax free, unless I don't spend it on my car (the tax man will want it back...)
I just worked out that I need to spend over my original budget or 3,000 on my car, or I'll get anally raped by the government. So, here's the stuff going into my car in about 2 weeks. 1x Fusion Powerplant FP505 4Ch Amp 2x Fusion Powerplant FP1402 2Ch Amps 2x Fusion Powerplant FPC6 Component Speakers 2x Fusion Powerplant 10" Woofers 1x Woofer Box Plus crossover, cabling & labor. CAN'T WAIT... |

You really love your fusion stuff don't you. The FP505 is a 5channel amp so there is no advantage using it if your getting a seperate amp for the subs.
Don't bother with 2 subs, your only wasting space for **** factor. Get a good single sub and it will wipe the floor over the 2 subs. Have you thought about replacing the headunit? If not your sound quality is going to be limited by signal converters.

Swaytan - I would check with Mr Tax man about that.
I'm pretty sure that 'enhancements' to your car are not tax-deductable... so hence you will be asked to pay for the tax on that $3,000 you think was tax free on a sound system. Pretty sure the allowance covers: - Tyres (can also upgrade here I guess) - Fuel - Service - Costs such as Insurance and Rego - Parking for business use - Car Wash - Products for the car (to wash it etc etc) That is about all I can remember.

The whole Fusion thing has something to do with my job, we have like, a thing with em, can't say much about it, but it's good for me! Let's just say I have an incentive. I meant the FP-1402 amps, sorry, not the FP505. With the subs, I'm getting like 50/50 split of people arguing for or against 2 subs. So I dunno... Re: Head unit, if anyone knows a way to change the head unit without damaging the dash, let me know. |

You can order parts from the Uk that convert the dash from double Din to single DIN(gives you a pocket to boot as well).
By my understanding your not going to have the speakers amped? Is this correct? If your running the 2 amps for the subs your gonna have massive bass overkill and it will be muddy as a result (1200WRMS for subs compared to a total of maybe 40WRMS from the headunit combined). The only advantage of going to multiple subs is if your running so much SPL that a single sub won't handle the power needed. Otherwise its just extra weight. Get a high-end 12inch Fusion sub and it will demolish the 2 10inchers.

I'm thinking of getting one. I've seen them on Fiesta before. They look good, and I've always loved them. I'm waiting for the quote back though.

I quoted for my Honda Jazz in a few months before, that was AU$600-AU$800 for non-elec and more than 1k-1.2k for elec QC sunroof inc fitting. However, it will affect the structure and warranty of the car.
