How have you mounted your speakers? Screwed in the metal, or mounted on the plastic door trim? MDF speaker support is the gold standard - doors are a horrific environment for a speaker to have to work in. Dynamat as mentioned is great, but is no substitute for fixing all the worn mechanisms that ex...

Wow fair enough, I buy a fair amount of my stuff from sydney cause its cheaper and easier to get but that takes the cake! As an example A 20 foot shipping container in canberra was about 3 grand plus 100klm delivery charge or from sydney a 40 foot one for half the price including delivery!

I use my bluetooth to run the internet but never used it for a car kit but have you read the owners manual on the car? otherwise you can go into the settings on the phone and turn off the bluetooth and on again, Failing that my best advice is go to the apple website forum and ask on there!

What do you expect when they don't use tires any more they just put over sized rubber bands on them, As a result of all these low profile tyres and stiffer suspension the are starting to find that the strut towers themselves are starting to crack!
