    Steering wheel scraping noises...

    yes thats the noise... a lot of consensus from work colleagues that it may be exactly that and just needs some greasing... which grease I have no idea as someone said GEL? will leave it to the garage... don't think I should drive it too much until then as I may cause more damage...

    CD Player Jumps

    Some CD players do that... depends how fast you hit the bump... if you are going slow (5-10mph) and a little bump is enough to cause a skip then the CD player may be at fault... As for quiet motorway journey... well its a Micra! Alloys? Alloy vibration can be noisy at high speeds... I don't...

    Help with Parcel Shelf Install

    yeh a couple of fans would do the trick... well if the underseat option works for you then cool... suppose its okay if you hardly ever have passengers in the back... my amp was too big to hide under the seat and wiring was a bit harder to run discretely from there.. let us know what you decide..

    Excellent cheap subwoofers...

    right you are R. I got it confused with this one I used to have: http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/2751.html and its cheaper than the mono one / more flexible... those components wouldnt really need 150w rms... you could get away with the 60w rms or so from the JBL...

    Excellent cheap subwoofers...

    yep yep typo typo! Igloo I thought u had your system sorted out? I cant remember but I think that amp has 2/3/4/5/6 capability? If so then the comps would sound better off the amp imho. and you'd still have room to play with for a sub or additional speakers.
