My price of $14,098 was after rebates were applied and a small $500 down payment made...it translated into $15,598 after taxes and such. Options were the tweeter kit and wheel locks. My credit score is 760, but because of the rebates and me being tired and ancy, I got stubbed on the interest...

I realize the box must be of certain peramiters to be ported correctly. By tight, I meant a small box that was ported. I realize their are frequency limitations on a ported box, and after doing a little reserch the sealed box as I thought, is better for me and the type of music I listen to. I...

So bass quantity and quality are going to be better with a tight ported box?...correct? I'm pretty sure thats what the graph included with the sub says. If thats the case, how would I go about porting my existing box, does it matter where the port(s) are located, or is just their diameter and...

Thanks guy...thats kinda what I thought too. The box is an actual qubic foot, I'm just subracting the volumn the speaker takes up and saying its less. The only thing that I have noticed from past experience was that stuffing the box with cloth or some other light material made a difference on...

That suggestion is a good one hambone...I thought about it, but I ended up just going with a smaller MTX 202 amp and a RT10 sub. The price was only about $20 more than I paid for the powered Bazooka. I feel much more comfortable with this set up, and at the price I paid for the amp, I can get...

1stmp3... I'm in louisiana...chances are if you sent the noodle, some coon ass'd eat it before i ever saw it ;o) Anyhow...delima #2...against others suggestions, and my own intuition, I bought a powered Bazooka...their cheap one at that, the EL8A...needless to say, I realize why I always went...

Thanks a bunch guy...you've been a great help! This will save me a lot of time. Oh about the wet noodle...as long as you let my fiance do the beating, I may just be alright with it ;o) Later

Cool deal...the better sound has been taken care of, I replaced the 4 door speakers last week. Thats what this thread was made for "nice little speaker upgrade". I am looking to get the head unit out to attach an RCA convertor to run cables to my amp for the sub. Speaking of which...do you know...

Now 1st mp3, thats the type of specific answer I was searching for. Sorry for getting you ruffled up in the other post, but you must realize that I had no idea that so many other cars use that style radio...in fact, my mothers Protege, same body style as ours, not sure the year, 99 or 00...has a...

Since all the fuss seems to be here, maybe its here that I'll ask again. 1st MP3, you had a good answer to the head unit quiestion I asked in the "nice little speaker upgrade" post I made, BUT I asked that quiestion in the PR5 forum so that someone with a PR5 stock stereo could answer it, now...

Just bumping this...not sure why the post got moved from its position. I'm still looking for a how too on removing the factory radio. 1st MP3, thanks for the reply, but after buying the tools as you suggested, unless I'm looking at the wrong thing, I don't think thats the route. Your cars head...

Quick quiestion... Any of you that have removed the factory CD player yet...please enlighten me...I can get the carbon/silver trim panel to come loose from the 6 clips, but it seems to be attached elsewhere, maybe the AC controls or something. Do I need to disassemble the console, or remove the...

hey ghost... I wouldn't call it modify...I actually tried the standard Pioneer 3 way 6 1/2s first, which were too small for the openings, and none of the holes lined up with the factory mounting points. So I had to exchange them for the oversized 6 3/4s I have now. I thought for sure they'd...

No problem Initial...it was just nice to see just the speakers make a difference. Lapis...the windows were tinted when it was purchased. I hear ya bout the Bazooka, I was the same way, way back when, but now it would be more of a practicality thing. A 10" with a small sealed box will likely be...

Hey all... This is for everyone like me, and were maybe quiestioning the factory stereo sound quality. Myself, I'm getting older, marrige is within 3 months, and hopefully children not too long down the road, anyhow, I just want to keep the car as stock as I can tolerate ;o) just trying to...

I guess I didn't do all that bad...not sure if mines an 03 or 03.5, bought it about a month ago. Its a Laser Blue 5spd, with the roof rack, tweeter kit, and wheel locks, $14,100 bofore taxes. I got every possible incentive applied to the car and took all but $500 of my trade back in the form of...

Thanks for the welcome there Mr Nuke...fortunately, I should be ok with the harder stuff in the fridge ;o)...I only look and act like I'm 18, reality has added another 10 well, almost 11 years on to me, so 28 knocking on 29! Oh well...yes, the reciever is on there now(nightmare install by the...

Thanks for the input guys...the Bosal looks like a nice deal, but the set up wouldn't work with the reciever hitch on the car. I'm gonna need a more conventional design muffler. The pics are very helpful, if I'd have never seen the underside picture I'd have never known. The exhaust is going to...

He guys and gals...first post here...nice site by the way! Just wondering if any of you have the RB cat back, or have seen or heard it. I'm looking for a pretty low key set up, I got rid of my money pit Tacoma to buy this for future family chores and such ;o) Anyhow, I miss the exhaust note...
