    I used Mothers about 2 weeks after I got my P5. Works like a dream. Paint went from kinda bumpy so silky smooth.

    Dimming Stereos

    The store's Eclipse rep couldn't figure it out and they've had this issue with a few other decks besides mine now. The bastards. They're going to let me trade out for a diff HU, so I'm trying to get some good ideas, plus I kinda want one that will do MP3's also. thx again

    Dimming Stereos

    Ok... What's a good HU that will be able to dim at night. I currently have an Eclipse that I'm for the most part happy with, but the damn thing doesn't dim at all at night, even though the illumination wire is hooked up. I'm currently running stock speakers with the 100watt spare-tire sub. No...

    Viper 790xv

    What remote-start alarm with a 2-way remote would be good to get then? I'm looking to get one installed here in a week or two. Would I be better off just getting a normal remote setup instead of the 2way for now then adding the 2way later? Or just say screw it and not get the cool toy of a...

    headunit or speakers

    From what I can remember, even at 0 boost, the Eclipse still sounded way cleaner. Again, that's just going by memory. :p The Eclipse does have the nifty Aux-In jack in the back so I can hook up my iPod. So that was a definatel bonus for the Eclipse over a stock deck.

    headunit or speakers

    Here's my experience with changing out the stock stereo in my mp5. I listen to all types of music, but especially jazz and alternative rock. On the stock deck, the hi-hat sounded like it was extremely muffled, not bright and crisp like it should. This was at any sound level. The over-al...

    headunit or speakers

    I just swapped out the factory deck for an Eclipse CD 5423 and couldn't be happier with the dramatic improvement in sound quality. If changing out the speakers will make a larger difference in sq, I can't wait. :D

    Alarms With 2Way Remotes

    I'm curious on this also as I plan on getting one in about a week. Either a Clifford or a Viper. Both are made by DEI, but the viper *might* be cheaper to put in I hope. :D

    Rim Questions

    I'm getting ready for bed, so if i'm wrong, feel free to correct my sleepy reply. Also please ignore my lovely spelling. :D In order for your spedo to report the correct speed and milage, your tire circumferance needs to be the exact same as it is now. So if you move up from a 16 to a 17" rim...
