Friday John was good enough to help me fit a subwoofer. i had two options to try - the spare HK sub plus amp i had, same as my Gold car, or an aftermarket FLI trap - a 12 inch 1200watt powered subwoofer.

So of course we went for the 12 inch sub.

Fitted the power wiring via a different route to that i used on my Gold car - across from the battery over to the drivers side and in through the grommet above the pedal box. John had a nice method whereby he fed the wire down off the battery, via the wheel arch liner and through the plenum and into the cabin on the passenger side of the car. Very neat, and a lot less wire used.

End result was a very very powerful bass sound indeed. I'm happy enough with that result. A FLI trap is probably considered budget end of the subwoofer market, but i'm happy with the combination of this and the HK door speakers. I just wish I could stop the door cards vibrating!

Also , courtesy of Tom Holland314, I had a new boot board to fit. Somewhat quicker job fortunately! Thanks to both Tom and John.

It has been a long road frankly, and not a fun one in many ways. But now i'm at this point, yes it is nice to be able to enjoy the car more.

I feel a sub contest on the way, I guess that if Tony had not heard my set-up, the prospect of getting a budget sub may have been out of the question, but Tony was impressed with my well abused fli, and I found him a bargain !

Always a pleasure Tony, the abuse is fantastic (Verbal only) the offensive phraseology cannot be beaten, and the sheer enjoyment of laughs as well as progress makes each visit great, and I will continue to assist in further brain damage to you as possible, and assist in further requests as they become known, but my trousers will remain on at all times, No toilet traders in my village !
Cheers JohnH

Happy to announce the good news from Tony this afternoon, Dorchester has a new MOT today, with no advisories. Tony and many others have been working on this lovely beast to keep a beautiful piece of Rover history running and on the road !
Well done mate, and looking forward to seeing the beast soon.
