    Need more bass... new speakers or add a sub?

    Ive got the stock mach 460 system running off a new alpine head unit, and it sounds fairly good. The mach 460 speakers are doing a good job, but what Im looking for is some more low end/ bass and Im not looking to spend a whole lot. Im wondering.. am I better off attaching a subwoofer to my...

    I need some BASS in my car.

    Is there enough room under the rear seat to mount a 10" sub?

    Oil consumption.. compression test results.. help!

    This actually makes sense, I had somebody else suggest this today too. My question is.. the rings must have worn prematurely.. i mean.. the engine is pretty young. If the rings are "carbon siezed" as one of you said, would a good seafoaming possibly remedy my problem? Another question.. how...

    Oil consumption.. compression test results.. help!

    Ok.. so I had my dad follow me on the highway today to look for smoke. The car doesnt blow smoke on startup, or when revving in neutral. On the highway, it doesnt blow while cruising, but when I punch it or downshift and punch it, my dad said it gives a sudden burst of blue smoke. Its quite...

    3.73s and 3.55s, bear with me

    who drives 55 ;) but yes, the more I look into it the more I realize the two are not all that different. I already accept the fact they arent going to be as docile as my 3.08s, so I might as well just give 'er and go for the 3.73s. 4.10s would be a bit out of the ball park, but I can see why...

    3.73s and 3.55s, bear with me

    I know these threads suck, but please bear with me. Ive searched on here and sn95forums and other sites to get all the background information to make an informed decision, but I need one final push :nice: Id greatly appreciate some insight I have a 1994 GT vert, I drive my stang mostly around...

    Two amp/sub setups... $100... which one?

    So it sounds like theres no obvious choice between the two? Im sort of leaning towards the sony. Only thing is the ported box is so huge, but it should provide more bass than the sealed one.. so oh well

    Oil consumption.. compression test results.. help!

    There is a chunk of porcelin out of the bad plug Im running the stock intake, the engine itself is stock, 110k kilometers (68,000 miles) I am using the stock crankcase ventilation, recently replaced the PCV valve, it looked clean and appeared to be working but I changed it anyways...

    Oil consumption.. compression test results.. help!

    Thats a good idea, a leakdown test was going to be our next approach, but I was just looking to see if these findings can point me in a direction (for example.. one plug is fouled, compression test is fine, car has low miles.. therefore must be something in the heads)

    Two amp/sub setups... $100... which one?

    Yea.. used merchandise isnt as good as buying new, but Im not in the position to buy new.. do you think this equipment is a bad deal at a mere $100? ok let me rephrase.. if you had $100 to spend on a used subwoofer setup, which of the above two would you prefer?

    Oil consumption.. compression test results.. help!

    What else could it be? Something with the PCV? Im pretty stumped because compression is bang on.. and that one plug is fouled

    Two amp/sub setups... $100... which one?

    I need a bit of advice, Im looking for some cheap bass for my stang. Audio is not something Ive planned to spend money on, but Ive gotten the bug lately after listening to my buddys setup, and since I have a new alpine head unit anyways why not? :nice: Here are my two choices, Ive talked both...

    Oil consumption.. compression test results.. help!

    As some of you know, ive been having oil consumption issues with my 5.0, its been eating a litre every 500 kilometers. The car runs great and doesnt smoke on startup, revs or driving, so I was stumped as to where the oil was going. At a cruise awhile ago we were running at 160 kph on the highway...

    need some guidance for some subs

    My head unit has subwoofer control, maybe this would solve the problem you're talking about? :shrug: With my head unit, I can set treble, bass, balance, fader and subwoofer (the setting currently does nothing because I do not have one attached)
