    Car Audio: 4-ch Amplifier Under Passenger Seat?

    Has anyone successfully installed an aftermarket 4-ch amplifier under the passenger seat in a Fox? I have two Pioneer 4-ch amps and neither one stands a chance of fitting under the seat. Just curious if anyone has found a newer (and smaller) 4-ch amp. RMS power output needs to be 30-50W per...

    Fox Body Gauge Cluster - Needle Calibration?

    I actually do have access to a signal generator and a Fluke digital oscope. Thanks for the info...I'll look into it the next time I have the dash apart!

    Fox Body Gauge Cluster - Needle Calibration?

    Was able to correct everything except the speedo today. The two reference value method worked well, although the gauges aren't as precise as I'd like them to be. I guess that's not a huge surprise. This is an 81K original mile car and I like a nice, clean, stock-looking interior so...

    Fox Body Gauge Cluster - Needle Calibration?

    Just had a few minutes to play with it tonight and it looks like this may work out ok. I started with the Temp Sender and simulated the 74 ohm (Cold) and 10 ohm (Hot) reference values. Here's how the gauge reacted: The Hot should land exactly on the red mark, and the Cold on the first...

    Fox Body Gauge Cluster - Needle Calibration?

    Picked up a 25 ohm potentiometer and a handful of 33 and 100 ohm bias resistors. This should allow me to simulate the 22/145 resistance of the fuel level sender, as well as the 10/74 resistance of the oil pressure and temp senders. I did read something on a Classic Mustang forum that leads...

    Fox Body Gauge Cluster - Needle Calibration?

    Thank you! I'll give that a shot. I figure there had to have been a way that Ford (or their supplier) pre-calibrated these clusters before they hit the assembly line. My thought is this: Since the Fox gauges don't really have true "min" and "max" mark or a needle stop, it would be tough to...

    Fox Body Gauge Cluster - Needle Calibration?

    I recently bought a 93 LX that had a white-faced gauge kit installed by the previous owner. The car appears to idle at <500rpm, the speedo is off by 10-15mph, & the Oil pressure is so high you can barely see the needle. The other gauges appear to be right, but considering how out of whack the...
