    What cars can a stock P5 beat?

    Don't worry everyone! You're not all stupid. It's a case of everyone else is wrong. I have a stock P5 and I make a point not to roll on anybody in a straight line. I used to drive a 96 integra and it could've smoked the P5, but I love the twisties and that's where the P5 makes up for a lack...

    "Plus, the little knob to change channels and whatnot is on the top right corner of the unit which would also be hard to get to." That's why the remote is helpful.

    Satellite radio antenna advice

    Hey, about mounting that roady2... You're right it does fit between the knobs in the accesory space, but the inputs for the wiring on the Roady go into the side of the unit. This means the plugs will partially cover your power/volume knob. I haven't figured out how I will do my permanent...

    6X8 to 6.5 conversion

    I typed a good response to this last night just as my cable decided to crap out. It was something like... blah blah I didn't realize the adapters online were inferior blah blah I guess I'll build my own blah blah all I have so far is myK650-4, but I'll get some stuff for Christmas.

    6X8 to 6.5 conversion

    Awesome, 1sty. I read both links and actually understood some of it. And poseur that how2 was exactly what I was looking for... but I think I will still buy the ones online just because they're only $10 and I will feel better knowing it looks cleaner under the door panel (crazy). I guess I'm...

    6X8 to 6.5 conversion

    Thanks for the tip. The little things can accumulate just as fast as the big things. Most of the entries in 1sty's $1000 challenge just said, "and $50 for wiring and stuff." That just doesn't cut it. If a system should be run off of a high end battery and re-spun alternator then that should...

    6X8 to 6.5 conversion

    Well, unfortunately I lack the patience to listen to everything before I buy, so at the first sign of something I like (which also came highly recommended) I've bought some stuff. MB Quart DSE 216 Kicker 650.4 on the verge of getting a JL 10W3v2-(D2?) I've been snooping round the JL site...

    6X8 to 6.5 conversion

    Thanks to 1sty I have a theoretical understanding of imaging. Something tells me I would have to do a lot more listening and a lot less reading in order to hear the difference. Why is it so popular among car manufacturers and DIYers to choose the remote location for the tweets. These links...

    6X8 to 6.5 conversion

    Hey guys. I took your advice and listened to some speakers today. I was really impressed by the value of the MB Quart Discus line. I'm planning to pick up a pair dse 216s. I was just wondering if there was an aftermarket kit to make the conversion easier. It seems like there should be...

    Oh, is there a seperate water fouintain for us p5ers too? Sorry, I thought this was general audio. That's what I get for staying up past my bed time. My mistake. (drunk) Oh yeah, that probably had something to do with it too.

    stock hu set-up

    I believe what you are looking for is "craptastic." Anyway, thanks for the tips - I've spent hours upon hours of searching online (reading a lot of 1sty coincidentally), and I think I'm getting an idea of the right sys for me: stock hu (for that WOW factor) JL e4300 (available on ebay new $?)...

    stock hu set-up

    Hey erbody. I'm a brand new poster, but I've been browsing for a few days now... I want to keep my stock hu and get the cd changer to rca modulator to hook up my xm. That much I know - what I would like some input on is what to add in the way of speakers/amp to help out the weak factory unit...
