Any time chap ;)

I've got as much bass as you could reasonably want in an SQ system (with or without the shelf), and it uses virtually zero boot space. I lost very little going from a huge box to a tiny stealth one (at the same time as a driver upgrade!)

cheers

As of Monday, my 4 channel amp has turned into a 2 channel amp - nice! Time to take it apart!

Before you start poking aroud in the amp be 100% certain that it's the amp and not your pre-amp adaptor, the blaupunkt preamp adaptor is poentially very dodgy!

Already tested - its not that all the rca's are working, it really is definitely the output channels 3 and 4 on the amp!

Most of the boot space is taken up by 120ltrs of lpg tanks.

I've just had my back pounded by my mates subwoofer on a trip to tescos., rather uncomfortable, although the seats themselfes wern't bad *feels a traitor for making good comment about corsa*

Boot space abysmal compared to a 300 even without the sub

I've been a passenger in both a Mk1 and Mk2 Corsa - and I found the seats to be diabolical. Although I find this with most other cars I've been in compared to the 360. One thing that Volvo got right with the 300, were the seats...
