    Lanzar Vibe amps

    Opinions opinions opinions! I can get my hands on these amps for very cheap - 125 watts RMS x 4 @ 4 ohms for $130 - I can hardly resist. I know the "too good to be true" adage, and I've been my own victim with cheap amps in the past. But I've been reading up on lots of boards, and the general...

    Need brake pad suggestions

    I'm planning on changing my pads in the next few weeks (Protege5), and would like some suggestions on moderately priced brake pads. I have heard that the genuine Mazda pads are UBER expensive (like $90 a PAIR) is this true? If so - I'd sure like to find something a little more economical. I'm...

    Vonage Digital Voice

    I just signed up for this service, and it is GREAT! For those that don't know - it enables you to DITCH your phone company, and hook your telephone up to your high-speed (cable, DSL, T1, etc.) phone line. Works EXACTLY like a normal phone. I don't know about you all, but I was paying over $60...

    Need big time help with my 6.5"s !

    Okay - I have no idea what is happening here, but my Infinity Reference woofers (from a component set) look like they are falling apart, and they are only 2 months old. The rubber surround is "pitted" on the top of both speakers - almost looks like it's disintegrating. I have no idea how this...

    Tint - need advice with % and brands

    Okay - finally going to go get my P5 tinted. Actually, my lady's Jeep got busted into last night - fuckers smashed the little window in the rear door. Amateur bastards couldn't even pull the stereo out - I can do it myself in like 5 seconds, and I'm no thief.... Anyway, I'm a little afraid...

    Crossover Questions

    My apologies to any to you who have read this post elsewhere first: I am probably going to be replacing my crappy subwoofer amp soon, along with adding a two channel amp for the front speakers. In researching the amps, I find that most have a high-pass filter @ 120Hz, and a low pass filter @...

    Mass Air Flow Sensor MOD?

    I've been reading a Sport Truck magazine recently, and it seems as though everyone is selling MAFs for trucks, claiming 10 to 15 hp gains, and even more with an intake installed. Anyone know what is different about the MAFs being sold in the aftermarket, vs. the stock ones? I know these are...
