a stupid question I'm sure.. but is the thermo on the p5 located on the top or bottom radiator hose? I've looked at a couple different guides, and seen both listed.. the diagram in the service manual linked in the sticky shows what appears to be the lower one, where it connects near the...

ok, i need to replace the glass in the back left door, the small window not the big one. The glass came out fine (had some help seeing as it was broken into and there was no glass anymore :)) I removed the weather stripping around it and unscrewed the screw that holds the window brace...

Ok, I get woken up this morning at 7am by my dad... my car was broken into. They took my new alpine 9807 head unit, and my avionixx 440.4 amp. In the process, they tried to pry off my front door handle (wtf?? are they retarded?).. then decided to break my small back window..which is of course...

Ok, I'm quite happy with my system now.. but i've got a few more questions. On my amp (avionixx 440.4) there are frequency settings for the built in crossover filters. Any suggestions on where to set them? I have the front spkrs and the sub running the amp. Also, I've just started to notice...

Ok guys. First, a MASSIVE THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY WHO HELPED ME!! I couldn't have done this without you guys. 1st Mp3, Blue LEDz (not sure if he visits this board or not..helped me on the protegeclub board), Zoooom (thanks for the dash kit), and everybody I know I'm missing.. you guys ROCK...

Step 1-6: Follow instructions for making smoke effects from your dash. Step 7: Realize that when you put in a different head unit and hook it up.. it doesn't work. So then, I'm screwed. I checked all the fuses and connections. Thought it might be the ground blew when it tried to ground all the...

Step 1: Let somebody else do your soldering for you. Step 2: Don't double check it. Step 3: Be really tired when you look at it. Step 4: Miss the fact that your amp speaker out puts are being run into your head unit, instead of into the wiring harness feeding the speakers. Step 5: Connect...

Ok, I'm an idiot. I installed all my wires..ran everything, put it all back together. Then I went to do the battery terminal. I put in the power cable for my amp, cut the battery thingy off and went to attach that. The problem is, I tightened down the battery terminal before I put in the car...

Ok. I've got it all mapped out.. I've got all the panels off.. I've got all the stuff I need I think.. I've got my box built (still gotta paint).. My last problem (I hope) I need to install the crossovers for my tweeters. Any ideas on where to put them? I know they need to go in the doors..but...

Ok, after exhausting the search button, I just couldn't find these answers. I was trying to figure the best way to run power cable/rca's/speaker wire from front to back of the car.. my question is where can I hide it? I know it can go under the carpet.. but can I run it inside that plastic...

ok.. here we go again.. I go get a nice dinner with my girlfriend.. we go out to my car.. of course, it doesn't start. This is nothing new, it's happened many times before. Nothing gets left on, it doesn't always do it. The first time the dealer replaced the battery for me.. the second time...

Ok, I'm going out tomorrow to find the stuff I need to install my new head unit. I have an Alpine 9807. From what I've read.. I need a Scoshe 98-7599 mazda pocket to make it work. Is there anything else I need? How does the HU attach inside? After an intense struggle and some fighting and...

Ok, I finally got around to putting my sub box together today.. been sitting around in pieces for a while heh.. Well, the first part went flawlessly... holes drilled fine, screws went in great. Then, I go to put the bottom of the box on.. predrilled/countersunk the first two corners.. then went...

Question.. I've got a new HU, sub, amp, and front speakers. I need to know how to run wires from the amp to the front speakers. How do I get them into the door and to the speaker? I would assume through the rubber cover that the regular wires run though.. but how?? Also, what kinda wire do I...

Ok, I've had my 2003 P5 since december without a single problem, until about a month ago. It just wouldn't start. So I'm like ok, battery is dead.. no biggie. So i jump it and it goes for a little while.. then a day or so later it won't start again. I figure it's just a bad battery (stock pos...

Ok, I'm looking to get a new/used car/truck. I'm wondering if anybody has some suggestions. Looking for the most hp/torque I can possibly buy in a car for up to $13k.. this can be used cars, new cars whatever... could even inclued addons to cheaper cars. Get your heads going and get creative...
