    I noticed my at lower revs & also when accelerating in lower gears. Sounded really tinny. Had I owned a set of reps then I may have found it myself but it was a garage job for me. It's deceiving because you think it's coming from one area but it's another ‍♂️

    FL1 Td4 2006 Brake Drum

    I like to watch tutorials like that. Thanks for the help. Does the paint need to be high temp resistant though? Maybe Hammerite Black direct to rust would suffice?

    TD4 2006 Boot Speaker

    I have no amp under any seat & considering I still currently getting water in my boot the cable that appears in the cubby would surely be void? I guess this means I would have to start from scratch in order to put a sub in the boot?
