      Arguing, apparently, with girlfriend – not entirely sure what about. She’s third girlfriend in a row just said I have the emotional capacity of a brick though. I’d be more upset, were it not for my zero tolerance policy on irony.

          Arrived on a flight home last night. Had a wiiiiccccckkkkked 5 days in Amsterdam!

          Flying pig for the first night, then 4 days with my old uni mates after that. Amazing!

          Little sad I’m stuck back behind my desk though 🙁

            Left side of my face decided it would be a laugh to swell up to the size of a golf ball last night. Look like half a churchill dog right now, and I’ve no idea what drugs I’m allowed to take with antibiotics!

                    Since the head-shop on my walk home from work opened I’ve been able to get OCB again! 😀

                    I’ve never really got flavoured papers, I like the idea of them but just can never taste the difference.

                        Having issues logging in with SSL using Chrome. It says I am logged in, redirects and then Chrome pops up with the SSL warning again, and I’m no longer logged in – could just be my browser settings, but thought I’d give you a head’s up.

                        Have you used StartCom Free SSL Certification Authority I have them sign my certs (for free) and haven’t had any issues with it.

                        From what I remember they don’t ID check you either… though I could be making that up

                            Mosfet isn’t massively significant, its to do with the power supply to amps, and mosfet being a good type. Its pretty standard across all car amps afaik.

                            On a side note, if you do go with the amp’ing option, be sure it has a high-pass filter – you’ll need it when you inevitably connect up a sub.

                              Hey,

                              Its really worth investing in an amp. If its just 2 6x9s that its powering you won’t need to splash out much. £40ish could probably get you a 2nd hand 2 channel amp, or 40-80 for one from the shops, and £20-30 for an all in one wiring kit.

                              If you choose that route, I can give you some info on fitting it, earthing, etc, but you’ll find that all on the net anyway.

                              If you just want to run them off the head unit, you can hack and split the cable running to the front, but as you mentioned there are wires for rear, best to use them. Snip them and connect speaker wire (solder would work, bullets are far easier long-term). The wire coming out the head unit should be labeled +/- for both left and right. Likewise for the 6x9s.

                              Get a second opinion on this, its impossible for me to know without looking or knowing exactly what kit you have, but car audio is normally 4-ohm, and with the small length of the wire, you could probably use 14-16 gauge speaker cable quite happily. Bare in mind your head unit is only going to be putting out about 50w-80w x4 @ 4U, and low-end 6x9s are probably gonna be able to take 250w-300w, so you’re never going to get the most out of them in this setup.

                                        Manchester is a great city, hoping I’ll get to go live there for a couple of months at some point. Not really done the city centre, or any club nights there. Just lots of house parties around the Diddsbury/Withington areas, but that’s because most my friends there started as students.
