Fair enough.
What do you think of the Retrosound dual coil then?

Would be interested in hearing it Andy (have not done so to date)....I'm sure it would suffice to provide some tunes and an acceptable sound for most people. Any mono arrangement will have its limitations but getting ideal sound quality in a split is very difficult anyway due to the low position at which most speakers have to be installed and its impact on 'stage height'. Its all about compromises with sound quality in a noisy old car!

Hey Jack, popped into my auto electrician today to grab a fuse and there it was - looks even better in the flesh. Colour is great and the wheels/stance are perfect !! Congrats and well done to Al and the team yet again.

Just realised I never posted the final photos of her complete! Interior is all done and everything is running beautiful. Here is a picture a couple of months back from when she made it up to the bottom of Mt Warning. I'll get some pictures if you guys like of the interior etc when I can be bothered :)

Nice Jack. Saw your bus in the "Stolen Kombi" short movie a few weeks back - looked sweet :)

You should throw up a link to the movie...
