    Need advice on subs...

    Hi. Need some advice on subs & enclosures... Basically, I'm looking for a little more "boom" to my bass in the simplest way. How would you compare a ported enclosure (Type 3) to a bandpass enclosure? I read articles and they say the bandpass gives off "maximum slam", but is there a really...

    My stereo doesnt work when it rains???

    Not sure of the Premium Package, but if you're just replacing the dash speakers with tweeters, you do need a crossover (because the dash speakers are not tweeters). I'd recommend a pair that comes with an in-line crossover (the simplest method).

    Got my BFG's mounted!!

    Hey Tony. That is cool how you got the tires mounted for free. Don't you just love the people here? O:) I'm still having a hard time justifying my need for new tires. It's not like I cruise much in a day. Hope to see you around Yongsan as well. I'm always looking at purple KJ's as they pass...

    Got my BFG's mounted!!

    Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D> I see you got them installed at a local shop (right?). About how much did they charge you? I'm trying to get a rough estimate of how much it'd be to order stateside or buy them locally. Although they do charge more for the tire here (since they're imported)...

    Firestone Firehawk Indy 500

    Are these nice tires? I've been to tirerack.com and read a few reviews, but couldn't find any from KJ owners so I was hoping to get some opinions. They seem pretty low cost and I don't go off road or anything. I'm just looking for anything that is ten times better than these Crapyear...

    Help Me Spend My Tax Return

    Tip: Check out www.truckxessories.com That site has the kit model you want for a little less...shipped. Then contact their support rep and tell them you knew someone who got it cheaper on eBay and he'll make you a good deal. O:) That's what I did (thanks to bohica-kj (biggrin)).

    Hmm...interesting problem here

    In reference to the speaker distortion... did it work fine before your spedometer problem? If so, that is interesting, indeed. I would have guessed your HU is not feeding your speakers enough power to keep it from distorting. :-k

    just ordered my BFG's

    No tires for me...yet. Some day... [-o< Strange thing is...when I asked about tires a while back, the only selection they say they had was Goodyear, Michelin, and...some brand. And, yes...I got the "we'll check and call you back" line back then, too. ](*,)

    just ordered my BFG's

    Congrats, Tony! Hope the tires arrive soon! Oh yeah...I know exactly how you feel! (biggrin) Don't you wish at least the auto shop at Camp Kim would take special orders for tires?

    Just curious...what's that little emblem right above your Trail-Rated badge? Is it a dealership logo?

    Whats a good after market speaker for the doors?

    Component speakers are "special" because the tweeter and woofer run seperately, so they don't get in each others' way (like full range ones) and let them perform at their full potential. Basically, they just sound better. As for the tweeters...$100 isn't that bad, really. You'll be looking...

    Lookin' good, Tony! (cool) Congrats! I should get new tires, too. :-({|=

    Bluetooth Audio...opinions?

    I do that sometimes, but it's a hassle; more trouble than it's worth. Friends are too lazy or forget...or they ask for return favors, etc. No worries, though. I always find a way. I'm still debating whether this thing will come in handy or not.

    Whats a good after market speaker for the doors?

    The dash speakers are 2 (and something) inches, I think. As far as I know there is no such aftermarket speaker in the world that size with that sort of mount. You'll have to fabricate a mount that'll hold the tweeters in place (it's real simple; just be creative). Wiring the tweeter to the...

    Whats a good after market speaker for the doors?

    LOL! You sound like me six months ago. Back then it was my first for everything, too. Amp installation was the most intimidating...I know the feeling. But I learned a lot from this forum and car audio forums. Once you figure it out, it's all pretty simple. And it's a lot of fun, too. Well...

    Bluetooth Audio...opinions?

    I've used the modulators before back in the portable CD player days. The sound quality to me wasn't as crisp and loud as the music on a cassette tape! (biggrin) Just thought I'd try something new. Oh, and this would be great for portable DVD players, PSP's, and DMB cellphones! \:D/ I...

    Whats a good after market speaker for the doors?

    Yeah, I had the whole 22Watt RMS X 4 thing going on my HU, too...sounds okay, but it didn't sound too 'crystal' at high volumes, which is why I added an amp (tucked away under my driver seat, by the way). Alpine speakers tend to require somewhere around 50W RMS each (if you like to play it...

    Bluetooth Audio...opinions?

    Thanks for the suggestions. Problems are... These are FM Modulator types (not best of quality). Some of these are specifically designed only for iPod's. My buddies have portables like iRiver, iAudio, Shuffle, etc.

    Bluetooth Audio...opinions?

    Has anyone had any experience with this? Scosche IPBCK Bluetooth System What do you think? I know it's a bit pricey, but it sounds like a good idea for long trips with buddies who each have their own iPod or portable mp3 player with them. Usually, I tell them all to keep burning CD's...
