    Ive got the very same tune in my car too. Lol. Good sort of music to listen to when your driving especially with the sub cranked up.

    Im just running one of those vibe 12'' sub/amp packages. Think its like a 400 watt amp. Still fairly loud. Loud enough to worry the young boys at the traffic lights with there 6x9's in the parcel shelf that are about to blow up. Lol.
    Then just leave them at the lights as theyre trying to keep up.

    Yes a thought you had a 12'' vibe in your 850. What amp were you running the Alpine's off?

    A was wondering how you were getting on with them. Are they all run in now?

    i wasn't very easy on them from the off tbh, the boxes are currently in the garage because of all the Christmas delivering & i really have missed them. I was expecting more pressure & feel out of them, i'm going to try & fettle the boxes a bit more & see if that improves them

    Sounds good although you definately need to get it mapped... Your going to hate me for saying this but I think it looks a little slow..

    Also get yourself a thermostat thrashing your engine when it never reaches operating temperature is never a good thing

    As Andy said, looks a little slow (after 90, 50-100 looks goood tho).

    Excellent use of a "private road"

    My vibe which looks the same as those that you have is real good sound quality. You can get some real good punchy bass out of it.
    Im going to get myself another to run with it just for the crack.
