    will it power my 600w sub?

    just a thought, but i've always believed in running a larger amp than the speaker - eg 300w speaker & 400w amp (just guessing figures at the moment). Reasons being, you want the speaker to die before the amp - if the amp starts to fail (due to it being pushed) all you'll start to notice is...

    6x9 Problem

    It sounds like you've wired the 6x9's out of phase to each other. For the best set up, you'll have to phase up the front and the rear then make sure the sub is in phase with the main speakers - refer to the wiring diagram of your head deck for the correct speaker wiring (front/rear). pos to pos...

    1993 VR Funny engine vibration

    With engine running, put your foot on the brake and put it in drive - does it vibrate? Then put it in reverse (foot still on the brake), then engine will kick the opposite way, Is it vibrating? I had this problem with my VN - It was the engine mounts.

    Ohm'age Question

    2 x 4ohm speakers in parallel will give you 2 ohms. ohms law v=IxR I=V/R R=V/I Make sure your speaker cables are a high amperage rating. I've used 240v cables in the past. 2core + earth (it's cheaper than 2core) That was for a 100metre run aswell @...

    Audio Safety

    I'm just saying why do half the job - don't be lazy, screw the unit in. You can cut silicone. Also think about the next person who may want to change the head unit!

    Vibrations

    Amp Problem

    I agree with the above. most, if not all, of the semiconductors would be rooted. Unless you want to rebuild the unit, throw it.

    Taking The Back Speakers Out

    I've done this in the VN and VS. It's not hard at all. I had more hassles getting the old speakers out! You can get spacers that sit on top for the 6x9's

    Vr System

    The sub can sit anywhere as it's undirectional sound. If your unsure of which way to face it - Just mount it and switch the Sub speaker phasing to achieve more bottom end. Speaker phasing - Reverse the speaker wires to your speaker box.
