    Are JBL car speakers crap or do I just need an amp?

    I decided to get a pair of door speakers when I bought a new headunit (Panasonic C7303U). I decided to go with JBL GTO526s. They were on sale and I think JBL is supposed to be a good manufacturer? I may just be thinking that because I know people say good things about JL and they have a...

    ????????

    It collects warm air to be sucked into the intake. They come with a flexible tube that runs from the heat shield to the airbox and when you first start the car it is supposed to suck air from it to warm the engine up faster. I hear its a completely unessecary system - therefor it should be fine.

    Need one factory-style wheel

    I like the ten holes but I don't know if it would be worth the extra money. I've spent $300 so far to get the car road worthy and I expect to turn around and sell it this summer. Also, they are 15" and they would not fit my 14" tires right? I just put two new tires on so that wouldn't be an...

    Need one factory-style wheel

    Sorry for using this for classifieds but I had a small wreck - bent a wheel - and can't find another. I've called the junkyards and had no luck. I did find one on the net for $70 shipped but that is more than I can put into the car at the moment. I don't even know if the wheel has a specific...

    OT T-bird Turbocoupe

    I've never really liked the appearance of the TCs but that actually looks nice. Not really my colors but I'm sure someone will see it and instantly fall in love. Good luck.

    My "friend" jumped on my hood and scratched it...whats the damage?

    I wouldn't mind doing it myself if I know its something a novice could do without screwing up. The scratches seem almost level with the rest of the paint. My fingernail does not "hook" in them. I thought for a second that they were not even scratches and something had just rubbed off but I tried...

    Front seats

    I was wondering the same thing. Neither of mine latch either. Surely not a plus in an accident...heh

    My "friend" jumped on my hood and scratched it...whats the damage?

    To keep it simple my friend jumped and layed across my hood, I got out and yelled at him to get the **** off, looked at it when I got home and he had scratched the paint, not thinking too highly of him at the moment :notnice: I'll avoid venting on here and get to the point. How much will it...

    general 2.3 mustang reliaility

    Well mine is nearing 50k and its already caused me a lot of trouble. Mine sat for a long time though. I've heard plenty of stories about how reliable they are so I would say you should be ok.

    couple of quick questions

    Well I can't help you with the wastegate but the "Premium Fuel Switch" is referring to the computer. You connect two pins and its enabled. I'm guessing it allows the computer to push the engine a little further.. I don't know exactly what it does.

    I ordered a set of 4ohm subs and received the 8ohm model, does it matter?

    I'm liking your optimism :nice: I haven't hooked it up yet so I don't know how well it works but I'm sure after getting bass from a 4 or 5-inch woofer in my backseat for the last 8 months anything will impress me. Still have to build a box - waiting to get a sheet of MDF.

    I ordered a set of 4ohm subs and received the 8ohm model, does it matter?

    Hmm... Thanks Kwik 9550! I may just stick with the speakers then. My amp is a Jensen JPA1300M and it claims to put out 400W at 2ohm and 300W at 4ohm so it looks like its only a 25% loss to run at 4ohm. Sensitivity: 4 Ohm: 86.8 8 Ohm: 87 .2 doesn't seem like much but I'm not familiar...

    Someone with a Notch, Tape Measure, and A Few mins, some help!

    Your welcome, I just noticed I forgot the width though. I'll check later but I think it was about 40' before the sides get closer.

    Someone with a Notch, Tape Measure, and A Few mins, some help!

    Ok... See if this will do: These are measurements of the "back of the trunk" and end where the trunk lid opens. Pbrush - enjoy

    Someone with a Notch, Tape Measure, and A Few mins, some help!

    Hmm... I have the numbers lying on a piece of paper at my house. I'll put them up later when I'm home. There are the bars that go across that part of the trunk to open the lid so do you want the total space or the actually usable space?

    I ordered a set of 4ohm subs and received the 8ohm model, does it matter?

    ...and there goes what little space I will have left in my trunk :D I guess I'll keep bugging the company. Had to pay through Paypal but they won't do anything because the company did ship the subs.
