My A/C seems to take a long time to cool down and was wondering if one of those DIY kits would fix my problem. I don't think I have a leak, because it does blow cold, but it takes about 20 minutes of driving before it happens. At the local K-Mart they have 14oz cans of EZChill for $13 and it...

I'm sure everyone has heard of www.mazdastuff.com but I just wanted to give a thumbs up to them for everyone to see. I recently ordered all the parts, for my '02 Protege5, to do both of my wheel bearings. The total came to $95 with shipping (wheel bearings, oils seals and hub nuts). That was...

Granted if someone wants it bad enough they will get it, but here are some things I did to make it a little more difficult. Which if the car itself is stolen none of this will do any good. Add an alarm. I installed the Hornet 564T alarm/remote start combo. The install wasn't too bad. All...

I recently installed a Hornet alarm on my P5 and had some questions/comments I'm hoping someone can help with. 1. Is there any way to increase the range? The 1/4 mile they advertise isn't even close. I have the antenna mounted in the top left of the front window. 2.The alarm doesn't...

I have a sort of whirring noise coming from the car, I suspect it is one of the wheel bearings. I'm just wondering if there are any other parts that need to be replaced or can I just do the wheel bearings? Are there any special tools required, if so, are they necessary? Any helpful hints or...

I've seen flexible ports for small enclosures but I can't find anywhere to buy one. I need one with a 4"ID and 27" long, according to the port calculator.

I've finally been able to narrow my alarm choice down to 2. I want to get either the Clifford Matrix RSX 3.5 or the Viper 791XV. If anyone has used these alarms or has any experience with them please give me some feedback. Thanks in advance for any info!!! :)

I have the Mazda factory alarm install instructions if anyone is interested. I doubt anyone is going to be installing one, but it may help some people in the removal. Or if its possible maybe use it to make harnesses for an aftermarket alarm that will plug right into the stock wire harnesses...

I'm looking to put a new alarm in my Protege5. I have recently been looking at the DEI products (alarm/remote start) and have come up with a couple of questions. Do the DEI alarms generally seem to be the easiest and most straightforward of the alarms to install?? I would really like to...

Here are the guidelines I'm trying to stick with. I'm looking to spend in the $150 range (enclosure not included). I'd like to go with a single 12" sub (because maximum space in the hatch is necessary). Because its a single sub I'd like it to be dual voice coil so I can take advantage of the...

Mannix alarms...any one have any opinions on this brand?? I was searching eBay for a Compustar alarm but came up empty handed, found tons of remotes for sale though :(. I did however find a Mannix alarm. They appear pretty similar to the Compustar but I have never heard anything about them...

and I don't know why. It is only happening at full volume. I have some Alpine 5 1/4" Type-R components driven by an Alpine MRP-T220. The speakers are rated at 35W RMS and the amp is rated at 50Wx2 RMS. I have the LP crossover turned on, which is filtering at 80Hz. I have the input...

Can anyone pass on some recommendations for securing a sub box in the hatch of my Protege5?? I don't want to secure it to the floor becuase I would like to still be able to access the spare. I would also like to secure it well enough to prevent it from being stolen. The box I'm trying to...

I've checked the fuses under the hood and they are both good. I also visually checked the switch and it appears fine, can't find my multimeter to test it. :( Any ideas....I guess both bulbs could have burnt out but they were working before the install. I installed/attached the amps to the...

I'd like to make it a little harder for the car thiefs to steal my stereo this time around. So this is what I'm wondering is. Is it possible to disable the door lock/unlock switch on the inside of the car?? But still be able to use the key fob to lock and unlock the doors?? Here are my...

My JLAudio box and two Alpine amps were stolen out of my car and I just can't live without that stuff so I need to replace it. Here are my thoughts, what do you think?!? I'm not looking to win an SPL competition, just something clean and loud. Thanks in advance! A single JLAudio 12w3v2(dual...

Secure radio install in a P5....How?? *With Pics* I recently had a couple $1000 dollars worth of amps and speakers stolen out of my P5, but they didn't take my Alpine HU.....thank god!!! I pulled it after everything was stolen and put the stocker in. Now I'm ready to go back to the aftermarket...
