Dont fall off like I did on the BMX track with my son in front of a group of teenagers pulling a wheelie :roll: :lol:

Very similar to my watch this comment when I took sam to the local skate parc with his scooter. Screwed my shoulder,knackered my ankle. All infront of my son and a load of yoofs. Obviously manned up, limped off to the side all the time crying like a little girl on the inside. "Don't worry son it's only a little blood..."

I'm not sure what was worse, the embarrassment of falling over in front of all the kids or the look of disappointment on Sam's face when I declined his request to try it again.

This has detracted from the audio thread a little

I had to man up and tell a group of youths to get off the roundabout as my kids wanted to go on it. I was prepared for a backlash but to my surprise, 'oh, yeah sorry, no problem' they mumbled.

I felt like a champion, flexxed my biceps and kissed each gun, well the first part anyway :mrgreen:

This audio thing BTW, looks quite decent, give us your verdict Blondie 8)

Mine arrived saturday after I had left. Turns out my bus's battery was knackered so the stereo was sounding awful... New battery purchased on the Island and the stero was restored.

Difference between this and knackered battery was like night and day.

But after unloading the bus tonight I thought I would give it a go. Jesus sounds amazing. My head unit is 4x60Watts so I wasn;t expecting a HUGE increase in the sound. But bloody hell this little tiddler delivers the goods. Just need to wire up my rear speaks this week to fully test it. I will keep you informed but so far deinfately so good.

i bought an Optimate 6, i'd recommend to anyone with multiple batteries or an old dub that gets layed up. its resurrected several batteries that just wouldnt take charge. My friends are bringing old dead battereis round to have them reconditioned. You can leave it attached to the battery while still in the car and it can test for voltage leaks in your car wiring too.

The problem with old volks and BIG sounds systems are that the alternator is not up to the job of producing enough juice to run the system and car. My current underload keeps killing the amp (the amp switches itself off to prevent damage) when i crank up the volume. If you want a big system you need a big alternator. i dont even think a 95 amp would be up to the job.
