Timing...
To eliminate pops form the amplifiers i ended up gettin a tiem delay relay that will delay power on for 45 seconds. This helped greatly the computer is just about ready to play when they kick on.
The shutdown controller is set up to turn all power off after 1 minute from powerdown.
Powerdown should be quick since i disabled the swap file in xp due to the 1gig of ram the laptop has. IT has helped greatly.

How did you install that backup-cam? You cut a hole in your backup light?
The A8 has a release lock there, he probably just removed it, and installed it there.Originally Posted by Hark
Man, you have one of my dreamcars. Will you be coming to the meet? I'd like to check it out... Nice job done... Props!
Got any pics of the T30 mounted? Did you change the bulbs that light up the footwells to red, or did it come that way?
Actually i drilled a 1 inch hole in the driver side taillight. The trunk lock is actually on the pass side. I wanted to make it even.
Give me details on the gtg id love to go if i can make it.

Ill get more pics this weekend. However the red color is from a set of 4 6 inch neon tubes in each footwell front and back.
