    1 dead battery..... and now another.....

    Can't you usually leave a car in storage for like 3 months though and still have a battery that will crank? And, when it is driven 2 weeks before, wouldn't it have a weak crank? .....Perhaps my alternator did go. Oh, thats right, just before I left, I drove with the BMW club at high speeds, and...

    1 dead battery..... and now another.....

    Ok, I'm currently living in Cardiff, Wales (working for Fram, so I can answer any questions you have about filters). My '90 325iS is still at home in Florida, and my mum drives it every 2 weeks. The alarm is left off. I have 2 USAmps IS2150 running comps and sub. Amps are run to the battery in...

    turbo whistle or supercharger whine?

    Ferrari 360 sounds GORGEOUS... the sound is purely chilling. To answer your question, a relatively big turbo sounds nice on an inline-6.

    How do I design an amp rack???

    I see what you mean. Would anyone like to design a solid one for me that will bolt to the seatback, and include a materials and tools list? $10 for a decent design. I'll post a trunk pic if anyone wants.

    How do I design an amp rack???

    I have 2 US Amps IS 2150's, they're 15" long IIRC. They won't fit side by side or one above each other on the seat back in my trunk. So, the solution would seem to be an amp rack. I am planning on mounting them in a slanted-shelf style, one above each other, shelf angle at about ~30degrees I...

    Need to drill?

    Baffle, as in foam speaker baffle, or a deflex pad? Cuz I already bought a deflex pad.

    Need to drill?

    The old 5.25" speaker is shown. My new speakers (eDi6500) are too deep and too wide. So I am guessing that I will need to do the MDF ring spacer. However, some of the cone will most likely still be outside the perimeter of the current hole. I am guessing this will cause me sound problems? In...

    Proper Door Sound Deadening and You

    Ok, well I'm about to start work on installing my speakers. Some questions: 1. There is a big-ass power-wire that runs through the kickpanel right by the speaker. Will this become a problem for me in any way other than a fitment problem? 2. My new 6.5" speaker obviously won't fit in the 5.25"...

    Car battery. I hope my system will not draw so much power that I need a separate stereo battery.
