Basically i bought the car with a SUB and AMP in the boot, i took out the Sub for more room and im not into having fully sick bass,

but left the amp because it look to complicated to remove as the system runs thought this or something. The amp has stopped working no light to indicate its on and i tried switching fuses no luck, so i took the amp out. Im left with a bunch of wires in my boot and no sound now, what needs to be done so i can just run its orginal set-up no sub or amp. Got no idea about audio or wires at all.

The previous set up could have been done 2 ways:

1) Head unit -> amp -> new wires to speakers

OR

2) Head unit -> amp -> back to [head unit area] and use the original wires to speakers

Option 2 just means you need to remove the head unit and replace the wires coming out of the head unit that go to the amp, and change them so the head unit directly feeds the speakers. Generally the wires you are looking for are white, white/black, grey, grey/black, purple, purple/black and green, green/black out of the head unit.

Option 1 means you will need to do the same as option 2, but also reconnect the original wires onto the speakers.

If this sounds too complicated, I would suggest going to a car audio shop. I wouldn't pay more than 1-2 hours labour to fix that.

      If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!

      I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies.

      It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks!

      It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
