A while back, I bought a JL 10W0 4 ohm svc sub. I built a 0.75 cu.ft box for it and have been happy, however, looking at the great prices on the new eD 11Kv.2, I am considering buying one. What do you think of the idea of simply swapping the drivers (assuming the cutout is the same). The eD...

I found only one thread here about this, but I am wondering, how long have you got out of your stock pads? I have 16,000 kilometres (10,000 miles) on my car. There was a little grinding noise the other day when I reversed out of the garage. I had a look though my winter wheels and couldn't...

Long post alert... After all my questions about adding a sub to the stock HU (which I did), I broke down and bought an Alpine 9087 HU! I installed it last night (in the freezing cld) and have some questions: 1. I am running the main speakers (Front and Rear) off the Alpine's built-in amp and...

Hi, I have bought the parts and am going to be building a small sealed sub using the JL Audio 10W0-4 powered by an Alpine MRP-M350 amplifier. I'll be running it off of the rear speakers into the high-level ins of the amp. Other than that, my system is stock (except I replaced the front...

Hi, I keep meaning to post about this... About three weeks after I got my P5, some bastard stole my M from the front grill. It looks all ghetto with two little holes where the tabs for the M used to go. I am to cheap to buy a new one (as I'd rather spend money on mods) and Ifear someone will...

Hi, I have a Canadian 2003 P5 which did not come with the spare tire subwoofer. I would like to add an inexpensive subwoofer set-up, without changing too much else in the system. I have already upgraded the front speakers to some Sony's which perform better than the stock speaks. I can get a...

Is there a big difference between the two AEMs (auto and manual)? I have an auto and want to know if anyone else has pics of the auto model? Does it curve over to the right like the ractive style? The manual one seems to go down into the engine compartment more. Seems like it would be hotter...
