Just got an SMS from ford to remind me not to forget my warrent appointment to fix my subwoofer and clunk in the front end.GOOOOOOOOOOOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it common for people to have probs with the sub in cars with premium sound systems after a couple of years, I'd had mine about 2 days when the sub went I got it fixed last week, does anyone know if this will be a recurring problem with the factory subs?

I'm pretty stoked with the premium sound it's pretty decent for a factory job, my mates got a Super Pursuit trayback with just the standard system which lacks a bit of audio punch.How's yours going? Did you have a problem with your sub as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But other that that its great, all the stonechips and scratches have been fixed and im currently in the process of doing a serious detailing job on it. I have another 3 weeks off work so by the end it should be spotless. Drives great too, love scarring people that havent been in one before haha.

dave- Member 157 Member For: 20y 1m 2d Location: Melbourne Posted 29/09/08 09:23 AM Share Posted 29/09/08 09:23 AM (edited) LOL Telstra cars. I'm on my 4th and um no comment...But yeah they get serviced as needed and if something needs to be fixed/replaced they just get it done.By the way, a lot of them have the premium sound because a lot of us option it in, I've optioned it on all 3 of the cars I ordered new. Never had any faults with the sub though? Edited 29/09/08 09:24 AM by dave- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that they would need to do is change some fluids etc....?Sorry about the lack of any artistic skill with the photos too....Oh and the other one is mine too, obviously...
