Oh and my Garmin Nuvi cheapo10 has to connect to a radio frequency to transmit the signal (instructions) thus HEAD IS NEEDED! (awaits vaders respsonse) why dont you want a head unit? If your afraid of prying eyes,fingers and screwdrivers, hide it away under the seat. Or Sony has this kiff mp3 cd shuttle that works with any headunit, put the shuttle and head unit in the boot, or under the back seat, and use the nifty remote. Autostyle has is for R1895.00

You will be able to.An amp only needs about 1 amp of sound supplied.HR runs a system like this in his buggy and the sound is awseome.
If you watch Overhaulin,you'll see that they do it on the cars nowadays as well so that there is no headunit in the car.

Thought I'd post some pics after the car came back from the upholsterers. Now the gbox and suspension and wheels can be fitted and the electrics checked out and tidied up a bit. Then it's just the engine left! (and a few small items)

Ja....., I think this engine needs to be "upgraded"........ASAP! One 'horse power" is going to get you nowhere..., FAST!
Oh yes, and the threads on those rear tyres look a bit skinny. Beter get some "vet tekkies" on there!
