100% opposite down south. VTNZ were cunts and the VINZ joker was mint to deal with. Was just a good wof check for me, which is all a rerego is supposed to be (a side from the extra admin side of things). Vtnz basically said that if the car wasn't completely restored minter then it would be a fail. What's the difference their names only going to be on it for 6 months lol.

Haven't load tested battery in car but starts 173 and was starting xr6t fine, the ups battery was tested when they were taken out and all the rooted ones were turfed. Lol yea I was oblivious to the whole impedance thing when i had the stuff in other cars I just thought that the juice couldnt keep up. Problem looks to be semi solved just buy wiring the dual voice coils in series instead of parallel.

Some good info there, Yeah I realise about the hole PNT situation, car in question is a hq holden very similar to my DP pic actually... it is going for a rerego in the new year anyway but just had me thinking about the loopholes. I'l probably get crucified for saying this but IMO there's certain situations where pnting a car isn' such a biggie, If I know a car is legally owned as has been pntd as a means to get a old smoothie back out cruising on the road i would sleep fine at night. Victimless crime unless your a dirty theiving mongrol prick then you shouldn' be allowed to share our oxygen, I am not and am more interested in the cars than the politics. ✌

Was thinking about people for example rolling a hilux and chucking a good body on then back on the road again as the same vehicle... which I see no problem with anyway just like changing a body panel panels except they change ALL of them lol. Or replacing a rusty chassis with a good one keeping the body's plates. Do that to a vehicle a couple times and it turns a bit like granddads axe lol another "hypothetical" situation is someone having a dead reg car, some live plates and a subframe which may or may not have a chassis number stamped into it which matchs the also hypothetical live plates.

yeah thats what I thought bit of a grey area aye.

so when there is a chassis swap done on the vehicle its still identified by the body? not the new chassis

What does a cars plates need to match upto? like would it be legal/possible to wof a derego car with live plates and matching chassis or subframe?

And its pretty simple really only need to add another earth to setup. Cheap alternative to a capacitor.

They were cutting out but after some googling last night that may be because they are DVC subs wired up to 1ohm and this amp is 2ohm stable.

Oh yep sounds good. Anyone know of a good site to get some info on wiring subs up to an amp properly, I've dragged my old subs and amp out to chuck in hq, I haven't had them in a car for a few years and am not sure I had them wired up correctly, they are rockford P2D4-12 subs and a PRS-d1100m pioneer amp. I'e just been having a look on the net about the different ways of wiring them 1ohm 4ohm etc

that' not a bad idea. would it kind of defy the point of a 2nd battery though as it would isolate the batterys when you need it like when the bass hits or am I missing something (VSR That is)

sweet I'll give it a go, I just take the existing positive from battery to amps and connect it up to new battery and earth the negative aye

Is there a car audio thread? anywho i scored a old ups battery from work this be allright for a second battery in the boot?

Sweet so I should be able to put a 12v jumper on there to sort it temporarily aye. Car didnt come with original coil someone had BIG plans for it years ago and striped the thing bare so was missing the odd bit.
