Thunderbird Install 2 Thats pretty damn nice for a Thunderchicken. I had one a while back and the installers cringed when I pulled up cuz they didn't want to touch it. I made them cut part of the rear deck to put in an enclosure....Happy they were not. Good job. If you like it, tell these...

Anyone wanna get stroked!!!? I am going to defend soundsolutions here. If you want to use the CV Stroker, you ain't gonna have the prettiest enclosure out there. You have to build an enclosure with functionality in mind here. If you build one for looks, wel, it will look pretty until its a...

The fuse is usually used to protect the amp. If you use a separate switch, just make sure you have it in an easily accesible place. In my experience, the wires on the switch will sometimes come loose causing a nasty headache. And, yes, the power antenna is a good place to start unless the...

A hammer and a crowbar work, too. My neighbor found this out when some jerk-off trashed his whole dash and left the factory tape deck in the floor.....well, parts of it, at least.

You can do a few things with it. You can use it as a really ugly paper weight that smells like a car fire, throw it away, or (my personal favorite) take it apart and try to sell the parts on E-bay. Tell 'em its a superconductor or something. Any way you look at it, I say you have a worthless...

If you want to be loud, get a big subs and an amp big enough to run the subs. Buy the brand of CD player and other equipment you want to buy. Just stay away from the dollar store special Spark-O-Matic. By the way, 8-tracks are not a good idea either. If you want to sound good, remember to...

JL 10W7 rocks. I put one in my truck to see if I liked it, well, I did. It hit hard and went low. If you've got the money, go for it. Just don't let the price tag scare you away. JL makes a high quality product and you get what you pay for in my opinion. Just make sure you have the power to...

You can pick up a fan at your local Radio Hack (Shack) or your local car stereo shop. They aren't very expensive. Just make sure you can wire it to come on with your amp.

Are you sure you got the right size speaker? Is the opening deep enough? Are the openings for 5 1/4" speakers? I am looking at a size chart for your car and I see 3 possibilities for your ride........either 6x9 or 5 1/4 or 6 1/2. This is what I see listed for your car. The 6x9's are if...

If your license plate rattles, try this. Take a large piece of 2 sided tape andfold it up and put one piece on either side of your plate on the bottom, or opposite the screws. I did it and it helped a lot. I had 4 15" subs in the back of a '92 Thunderchicken. No more rattle for me, even...

That could be a number of things. I would suggest taking it to an experienced installer. The only thing I can think of is a loose connection or something like that. That's just my opinion.

Your best bet for sound deadning material is DynaMat or something similar to that. I wouldn't reccomend using household trash or things you might find lying around the house. As for what amp you should use, it is all a matter of preference. Some people will try to steer you toward one brand...

I don't think you can bridge more than 2 channels, unless someone has come out with an adapter. But, I don't think they have. If you do try to run2 positives and 2 negatives, you might wind up with a fire in your trunk. If you need more power, buy a bigger amp, and put the 4-channel on your...

What kind of crossover are you using? Is it the internal crossover from the amp? If it is try running it a little higher. Of course this is useless, 'cuz I don't know what you are running.

Go with a CD Player that won't skip in your ride. Also, if you decide to add subs, invest in some good, long bolts. I know how it is in Charlotte. I live here. If you leave the top off/open, you will be riding in silence the next morning. I've seen that happen way too often. Its a shame...
