    Muffler Sound Comparison by 5.0 Magazine Question

    I know this isn't exactly what you were asking but I have MAC pro-chambers on my car with long-tubes and it has an awesome sound. I hadn't even heard what they sounded like outside of the car until yesterday when i let my cuz drive the car. Gives a nice deep, aggressive sound and it's pretty...

    I love getting my hopes up to be Disappointed. Bracket help.

    The rear speakers in a hatch are actually screwed to the rear speaker grilles. The correct size is a 5x7 or a 6x8 (same thing). Unless he messed the grille up then the new polk speaker you have should screw right to existing holes on the back of the rear speaker grilles. Trust me, I do this...

    mustang stereo tech ?'s

    I know i have infinity components in the door and i had a clearance issue with them. Pioneers would fit nicely.

    Static in system when engine is running.

    Like everyone else said, check your ground. Also make sure that when you ran your wires, you ran the rca's and speaker wires on the opposite side of the car from the power wire. This will help keep the rca's from picking up noise from the power wire. This is what normally causes "alternator whine".

    Help with Fox Body Stereo

    why is my car so slow

    I'll admit that new cars such as the Evo's and the Sti's are fast, but i havent seen a one of yall mention that those cars are also all wheel drive. Compare that to a fox that can launch as hard as those two without incinerating the tires and losing the hole shot without having an awesome...

    Didn't trade the stang for the prelude

    Just make sure you put stickers for parts you don't own on the car, a huge wing, and some dubs and you should have the fastest car around.
