Very cool, thanks again. You've been a wealth of help. SpaceRabbit

Cool Mp3, thanks for the input. The amp is a JBL GTQ240, so it's a decent amp I believe, so I'm thinking it should do fine without the loc. But, I will try it first, and if I hear noticable line noise, I'll look into the LOC.

Ok, last question I believe. I went to one auto install place this week and the sales guy was telling me that he did not like using the speaker level inputs on amps, that he much prefered adding the line level converter and using the RCA inputs. What do you guys think about this? Does having the...

Hehe, no doubting at all, I was just saying that I was going to try what you suggested :) Ok, one last question. I bought the amp on ebay, it comes on wed. I have a feeling it won't come with anything but just the amp. It's a JBL GTQ240. I downloaded the manuals from JBL's site, so I have all...

Ok, my string of lame questions continues on. So I looked under the seat this weekend, to check for the vents and sure enough they are there. So, I may still try to mount the amp under the seat, and do as 1st Mp3 said to do and simply lay the vent on top of the amp or around it etc. My question...

See, that's kinda why I was asking. I've not looked there yet, but I had heard there were vents down there. I'll have to take a look. I'm assuming the only other place to put one then is in the back/trunk area?

Ok, so hopefully this will be my last string of stupid questions. Since I will be putting in an amp, but keeping the stock hu, do I need to get a wiring harness? Also, putting the amp under the seat (I'm thinking the passenger side) will this be fine for cooling for the amp? Lastly, my pro5...

Cool, makes sense to me. Where can I find these groundings kits? Thanks again, SpaceRabbit

Yeah, forgive me for being a moron, but what are you guys talking about? I see your talking about electrical grounding, but how goes that reduce noise in the passenger cabin? I mean, I guess I could see it reducing audio noise in your stereo, is that what you are talking about? I'd like to learn...

Ok, one more question. My pro5 has the side airbags. I'm assuming these are in the seats, and not the doors. Am I right in this, or are they in the doors? Just wanted to make sure before I removed the door panels. Thanks again, SpaceRabbit

Ok, so I settled on these for my speakers Polk Audio DB650's for the rear Polk Audio DB570's for the front and a JBL GTQ240 4 channel amp. My last question is A. Should I attempt installing this myself, or is it best to have this installed since the amp seems to complicate things a little...

Window Tinting Well, I'm not sure where to tell you to go on that one. My P5 was already tinted when I purchased it. My previous vehicle I had tinted in Dallas at Alta Mere and they did a fine job and it was a fine product. I'm not sure if they have a shop here in austin or not. I believe...

Perhaps, I'll ask my buddy if he would like to head up there, and see if our wives will let us escape ;)

Nah, not hispanic. Friends from college, now neighbors/co-workers.

Hehe, no, I don't think it was me, but it wouldn't surprise me if it were my friend's wife. She has a yellow pro5 and he has a laser mp3.

I'm in austin. North part, Cedar park. Yellow P5, black windows. Do other P5's meet in the area? Laters, BT

line level converting, thats what I meant to say. Sorry about that. Car audio is a little foreign to me, I've always been more into home audio. I think I will try the speakers first, see how the sound fits my taste, then from from there. I'll look into the alpine amp you suggested though, see...

Think I've found the speakers I looked around this weekend at speakers, trying to listen to ones that would fist my tastes in the sizes needed for the prot5. I think I've settled on these selections. Polk Audio DB650's for the rear Polk Audio DB570's for the front I can get a super deal on...

Wow, thanks for all the good info guys :) The Protege community seems quite friendly!

I have a 2002 p5 with the in dash cd changer/tape deck. I like the head unit very much, but I'm not as impressed with the sound quality. Has anyone out there simply replaced the factory speakers and increased thier sound quality substantialy? Any recommendations on improving my sound without...
