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
1) OPUS is not connectd directly u need to run a thick cable from battery to opus than u will use a splitter to connect ur comnputer and to connect ur amp
2) It depends on how many sups you got and how close it is to a computer but it might have some effect that is if the base is big but if u useing 1 12sub i think should be fine.
3)Personally i wouldnt use cig lighter for anythign ut that is just personal but i think u may use it for anythign that is less then 12v .
