    How much for new P5's?

    My price of $14,098 was after rebates were applied and a small $500 down payment made...it translated into $15,598 after taxes and such. Options were the tweeter kit and wheel locks. My credit score is 760, but because of the rebates and me being tired and ancy, I got stubbed on the interest...

    nice little speaker upgrade

    I realize the box must be of certain peramiters to be ported correctly. By tight, I meant a small box that was ported. I realize their are frequency limitations on a ported box, and after doing a little reserch the sealed box as I thought, is better for me and the type of music I listen to. I...

    nice little speaker upgrade

    So bass quantity and quality are going to be better with a tight ported box?...correct? I'm pretty sure thats what the graph included with the sub says. If thats the case, how would I go about porting my existing box, does it matter where the port(s) are located, or is just their diameter and...

    nice little speaker upgrade

    Thanks guy...thats kinda what I thought too. The box is an actual qubic foot, I'm just subracting the volumn the speaker takes up and saying its less. The only thing that I have noticed from past experience was that stuffing the box with cloth or some other light material made a difference on...

    nice little speaker upgrade

    That suggestion is a good one hambone...I thought about it, but I ended up just going with a smaller MTX 202 amp and a RT10 sub. The price was only about $20 more than I paid for the powered Bazooka. I feel much more comfortable with this set up, and at the price I paid for the amp, I can get...

    nice little speaker upgrade

    Cool deal...the better sound has been taken care of, I replaced the 4 door speakers last week. Thats what this thread was made for "nice little speaker upgrade". I am looking to get the head unit out to attach an RCA convertor to run cables to my amp for the sub. Speaking of which...do you know...

    nice little speaker upgrade

    Now 1st mp3, thats the type of specific answer I was searching for. Sorry for getting you ruffled up in the other post, but you must realize that I had no idea that so many other cars use that style radio...in fact, my mothers Protege, same body style as ours, not sure the year, 99 or 00...has a...

    Moved: Too many damn moved threads.

    Since all the fuss seems to be here, maybe its here that I'll ask again. 1st MP3, you had a good answer to the head unit quiestion I asked in the "nice little speaker upgrade" post I made, BUT I asked that quiestion in the PR5 forum so that someone with a PR5 stock stereo could answer it, now...

    nice little speaker upgrade

    Just bumping this...not sure why the post got moved from its position. I'm still looking for a how too on removing the factory radio. 1st MP3, thanks for the reply, but after buying the tools as you suggested, unless I'm looking at the wrong thing, I don't think thats the route. Your cars head...

    nice little speaker upgrade

    Quick quiestion... Any of you that have removed the factory CD player yet...please enlighten me...I can get the carbon/silver trim panel to come loose from the 6 clips, but it seems to be attached elsewhere, maybe the AC controls or something. Do I need to disassemble the console, or remove the...

    nice little speaker upgrade

    hey ghost... I wouldn't call it modify...I actually tried the standard Pioneer 3 way 6 1/2s first, which were too small for the openings, and none of the holes lined up with the factory mounting points. So I had to exchange them for the oversized 6 3/4s I have now. I thought for sure they'd...

    nice little speaker upgrade

    No problem Initial...it was just nice to see just the speakers make a difference. Lapis...the windows were tinted when it was purchased. I hear ya bout the Bazooka, I was the same way, way back when, but now it would be more of a practicality thing. A 10" with a small sealed box will likely be...

    Racing Beat exhaust...

    Thanks for the input guys...the Bosal looks like a nice deal, but the set up wouldn't work with the reciever hitch on the car. I'm gonna need a more conventional design muffler. The pics are very helpful, if I'd have never seen the underside picture I'd have never known. The exhaust is going to...

    Racing Beat exhaust...

    He guys and gals...first post here...nice site by the way! Just wondering if any of you have the RB cat back, or have seen or heard it. I'm looking for a pretty low key set up, I got rid of my money pit Tacoma to buy this for future family chores and such ;o) Anyhow, I miss the exhaust note...
