When I noticed that I had a problem with rattling coming from the rear deck it was solved after I wedged some little rubber pieces inbetween the deck lid and the window

hey...how come you don't have rear speakers?

Thats essentially what i did. No MSP's have rear speakers, they are just faux rear speaker covers. The rear speakers are actually in the doors.

1/2 inch i think. I got everything hooked up and tested it out! DAYUM! Sounds much more powerful (it should, becauase it is), and the bass is much cleaner! I did discover another rattle in the damn lid, and as described by 36Crazyfists, i need to put some stripping in between the windown and the decklid, because now that is the only rattle left other than the license plate. I think the new rattle developed from the stripping raising the height of the plastic enough to contact the window rather than the metal. Oh well, i've still got some stripping left, so tommorow we try again to perfect it!

Looks great - care to come do my car next?

Also, noticed you wanted to get rid of the rear sway bar (the RB one) - how much were you looking to get for it? I may be interested.

120 bucks seems to be the fair market price on the item, so thats what i'll be asking.


Anyways... BUMP for todays pics being added!

Junk yard p5 radiator?

Junk yard p5 radiator?

eh? You saying i need one? You dont like the stock IC hanging there ball out like that? (boom07)

According to BlkZoomZoom, the MSP radiator, while smaller, is a triple pass, whereas the regular P5, while bigger, is a single pass, thus the MSP radiator is still more efficent. Anyway, its on the things to do list, but i'm just going to replace it with an AWR performance radiator when the time comes.

Yea and its funny Reg. Proteges have rear speakers in the deck but have grilles in the rear doors but no speakers in them. So all you would need is to run some wire in the door and you would have a 6 speaker system. Which i plan on doing. Front channel for Doors and Rear channel for Rear deck and then subs. So really all i got left to do is run the wires, put speakers in the rear doors and get another amp to run the internals.

About as easy as any standalone would be....provided you have nothing wrong affecting your tune...

s*** man! I dare not take my car to that speed. The last time I came close was 130 MPH when I was getting my initial tune done last year!
