haha this thread is t3h funniez.

Muffler bearing? Whats that do and whats a muffler relate to my car shutting down at idle, and not being able to start it again? I dont know what to look for with 'coils' and plugs anywhere. Me and the neighbor looked at anything we could, and our guess is its the fuel filter or something to do...

Wow, interesting. Thanks for all the suggestions. Ill research/look around at the fuel filter, MAF, and the timing belt. Theres about 65,000 miles on the car, and I dont know when the last time the fuel filter or timing belt was replaced. Ill also try the alternator idea with the battery...

What exactly do you mean by 'computer' Louisiana CRX? And I called up a shop place, and he says by the way its described and what happened, he thinks its the alternator. I was hoping it wasnt, but now I dont know. Hmm.

Haha, got gas? I had the car filled halfway. Me and the neighbor tried out ideas. Air intake filter is clean, battery seems good. And he said he has his alternator unhooked to his battery and his car starts and drives fine, till his battery runs out of juice. Soo in this case, i dont think its...

I have a 2001 Ford Zx2, so yes, Ford sucks haha. But I have a 1400 watts RMS subwoofer system/amp and 8 speakers powered on another amp and etc, and my issue is, I was randomly driving down the road, and my engine cuts outs sort of, except when I go to accelerate, it slows my car down a tiny bit...

I thought adding a second battery to a stock alternator will only force the alternator to be more stressed with outputting the juice to both batteries, causing to kill the alternator in time?

hey, tell me how it sounds (re mx) bc i was thinking about a 15" Fi Q with cooling option, but seeing that many people voted a 12" re mx MORE than a 15" Fi Q, im having my doubts now. anyone want to explain why a 12" re mx would be a better choice than a 15" fi q? good luck with your re mx...

Thanks for all the post guys, very helpful. This is what I like about this forum, members only bash the stupid people who ask stupid questions haha and yet you guys helped me alot with some decisions. Im gonna think things over and see what happens in the next couple months. Once again, thanks...

Alright, I can agree with 1600-2000 watts on an 12" XXX ported, that'll blow away a Fi Q 12" ported on 1200-1400 watts right? If I search for an 05' XXX, wouldnt that mean they are used by other people, which is something I wouldnt trust really if they pushed them too hard? I assume your...

Ooh, but it is said to handle 2000watts RMS though? I'd get a Hifonics amplifier that pushes 'rated' power at 2000watts, but everyone knows they are overrated. What would one recommend as a amplifier cheaper than an Orion 2500D and around 2000watts so I can match its RMS to the subwoofer...

I have searched on topics related to XXX and alot of it was wishy-washy to me, so I was not sure, and decided to make a thread about it on exactly what I needed. Due to trunk space limitations, I seriously doubt I can fit a 15" ported box into my trunk, unless it was built inside the car, which...

Wow, reading this thread interests me. I currently have 1 12" Fi Q around 1200-1400 watts, and Im wondering if getting a couple 8" DD 1508 would beat that out? What is the best subwoofer SQL by DD for 10" wise that would beat out a 12" Fi Q if there is any? Because I want to run 2 new...

I'd like some more opinions on the 15" RE XXX also, Im interested. I currently have a Fi Q running around 1300-1400 watts, and I think I need more low and loud bass. Hopefully I can fit a 15" in my trunk, but I was wondering what ya'll think of a 12" XXX compared to a 12" Fi Q? And what kind of...

Ooh, thats what everyones been saying. I really have to try this, just alot of work since everythings bolted down and wire-managed. Oh well, Im sure it'd be worth it. Thanks for the help. =]
