I got the subs from a friend who bought them from his boss, and I have no idea where he got them from. Thanks for all the help and info, I think I have a pretty good idea what I have to do now. Now I just have to do it. :)

I am sure that I typed the number in correctly, but I don't think it's a serial or model number. I couldn't find anything about the number on google either. I e-mailed MTX and asked them if they could tell me what sub I had. Still waiting to hear back from them. As of now my plan is to make...

I'm not sure what the model number is, this was printed on the outside of the magnets, not sure if it's what you need: 12XF1101 4 OHM 557 9510 As for the underpower issue. If I get a 300 W amp, and run it at 200 W to the sub, how is that different than running a 1000W amp at only 200 W power...

I don't have an amp for my subs yet. I just got 2 MTX Thundercast 1000W subs, but no amp. I was planning on looking at some amps today. I just want a cheap amp, because I am poor. I definitely don't need something that can put out 1000W, I just want something to drive the subs. The cheaper...

I just got some subs and I want to put them in my P5. I don't have the spare tire sub so I was figuring that I could just connect the outputs from the head unit that normally go to the spare tire sub and connect it to an amp and my subs. I think this should work, please correct me if I'm wrong...

Does anyone know how well the red matches?

I'm planning on painting my calipers red, I have a red P5. I was wondering in anyone had used either: G2 Brake Caliper Paint (Link ) or Folia Tec Caliper Laquer (Link ) If anyone did, I would like to know how well either of those matched to the P5 red. Thanks.

When I rebuilt my tranny in my old car, Datsun 510 and it had something like a 200SX tranny it in, I would be impossible to just switch one gear, and I'm not sure about changing all of the ratios. Of course, this was a really old tranny, around 1977, so things have probably changed a lot since...

One way to do it would be to put the switch (Normaly Open), where ever you had it in series with the switch from the key. This way, You wouldn't be able to start it without the switch closed, I'm not sure where you would have to cut the wires to do this, I'd have to look at my car, but I think...

I know how to make it so that all the doors will unlock when you push the unlock button on the remote, or when you unlock the drivers side door with the key. It requires adding a wire under the dash, around your feet, if you think you're up to the task, I can tell you exactly what to do.

You could try some loctite.

I don't like the roof rack, I think it makes the car look more like an SUV/station wagon, not what I want. I want my car to look sleek. So I took it off.

Thanks for all the help everyone, I didn't know that most aftermarket security systems had that built in. I was planning on getting one soon anyways, because I only have the remote locks, not the alarm, so I'll just make sure I get one with that feature.

Hey, all, just got a P5 :D , and I noticed that the door locks don't automatically lock or unlock when you turn the car on/off. I'd like to modify the electronics to have it automatically lock the doors when I turn the car on, and unlock them when I turn it off. If anyone with electrical...
