    Which direction should I fire my subs?

    Last year I had my subs in a rear-firing ported enclosure. It sounded great, but the box took up too much space so I sold it. I'm gonna be putting everything back in soon (took it out for the winter) and I'm going to build a smaller sealed box this time. Which direction should I point the subs...

    Instrument Panel Lights

    I installed my MAM guage rings last night and noticed that the lights for the speedo have an orange cap over the bulbs. Has anyone changed the color on theirs? I think there's one or two that are burnt out, do I have to get these from the dealer?

    How fast have you got your P5?

    I was bored the other day so I decided to see how fast I could go. The car didn't quite want to go to 190km/h but it didn't govern out. Would the over-sized winter tires have anything to do with it? (and yes, the highway was completely dry, so I don't wanna hear anyone giving me s*** for it) I...
