I had no idea there was even a chrome strip there in the first place. Sure wasn't one on mine when I bought it.
I actually just redid the windscreen with silicon this weekend gone as it was leaking quite badly.

It wasn't the main power I was using the trigger/rem for Alex, I was using it as the earth. I changed it over to the 4 gauge straight after posting last night. My set up is a baby version of yours. I'm using 4 gauge from the battery, then about 100mm til the inline fuse, then a single 4 gauge runs t...

Thanks for the replies lads. The RMS, which I'm assuming is the same as rated power is 140W with a 350W max. Nothing special, its a Sony XM-SW1. The cheapest single channel Supercheap had. I'm running the 12" subwoofer off the amp with the 2 5" and 2 6.5" speakers running off the head unit. Didn't w...

I just put a sound system in my L series, the 12" sub is in a box from supercheap sitting on the back seat at the moment but when I get a chance (today, maybe) I might put it in the boot space, flush against the seat and with enough loose wiring to move it off to the side if I were to sleep in there...

Hey all, thanks for all the replies. Didn't expect this many. After all the suggestions to check the fuses again I went out and pulled out every fuse one by one. There was one that was broken, the position fuse. Replacing that seemed to fix the power problems. Although I'm left wondering what the po...

No Lighter or Stereo Power

Hi all, been coming to these forums for almost a year whenever I've had a common problem but never got around to registering. I've been installing a sound system in my 91' L series and make a pretty damn stupid mistake that resulted in no power what so ever going to the stereo head unit or the cigar...
