Got new alpine speakers in the front doors, took all of about 1 hour. Got a bit of a laugh out of the original Nissan speakers. Do I put the sub and amp in?

Did you do all 4 doors?
What speakers did you use size etc?
I need to replace all mine, they work when they feel like it

Na just did front, they were 6.5" whatever depth, back are 6" I think but need to shallower.

Just got a roo systems awning. Probably install it this weekend! Guys down at the Bayswater dealer are really great to deal with!

I too got a roo systems awning and a word if warning, ALWAYS peg it down straight away. As I found out only a slight breeze was enough to pick it up and broke both plastic bits on the cross bars. Attachment 24961
The plastic bits are $10 each and they also have an aluminium replacement for $20 each. Not covered under warranty.
Also get bigger longer pegs to make sure it's secured well.

Thanks for the heads up, the pole attachments are all aluminum now, I don't know if that's different to your but will definitely take the extra 30 seconds to peg it down! Cheers mate
