Planning is still underway. Current shopping list is:
-Sony F7700 head unit
-Infinity 6500cs front components
-Infinity sub (model?)
-Pioneer amp (model?)

(the last two items are recommended, but I haven't got the models/specs yet).

A couple more questions are being thunk[*1] up, these are the latest:

1. How exactly is the Opus PSU connected to the power source? (is it wired to the car battery directly?)

2. Following from above, if the Opus is wired directly to the battery, would I be able to use the same power that is needed to feed the amp? (or does it need an exclusive cable?). If it can use the same connection, that would save me adding a new line to the battery (or I could wire an extra one when getting the amp installed...)

3. A curious question: Will the sub have any negative effect on the Car PC? (they will live together in the boot). Are the vibrations from the sub an issue for the HDD or other components?

4. In the boot of the Golf, there is a 12v power supply socket (cigerette lighter type). Is this useful for anything - perhaps saving some wiring to the power/battery?


[*1] Not a real word, I know
