    JL audio

    JL makes great subs. I replaced my RF HX2 with a W6v2 and the difference was amazing. I've been running RF amps for ever, but that is just me. Other good amps would be Alpine V12, Phoenix gold. A lot depends on your budget, if you want SPL (volume) or Sound Quality. Just remeber if you buy...

    Rockford custom sub box

    Depends on if you are looking for cheap and ok, or a really good setup. Most custom boxes are made for the subs specs such as air volume. Different subs require differnt air space. I have mine sitting in my spare tire well, and the sound is great...but that is what you get with a custom box...

    Question about Mach 460, Metra harness and aftermarket deck

    If it was me, Spending all that money on the Head Unit and not upgrading all the amps / speakers / subs is not worth it. The Mach systems do lots of unusal things, that is why they are hard to wire in new stuff too. My advice, pull it ALL out and run new everything! ~K

    Rear Brake problems - won't stop squeeking....Ideas?

    The first set (Hawk HPS) gave me the worst problems. I was actually at the beach 3 hours from home and they started making a horrible noise. Firestone said the spring on the pads that are supposed to hold them in place were bad. So they put on new ones. Those started squeeking a few days...

    Rear Brake problems - won't stop squeeking....Ideas?

    Ok all here is the deal. I had a new set of rotors / pads put on about 6-7 months ago along with my suspension kit. Since then I have had a squeek in my back brakes. The squeek is there when I am NOT on the brakes. Just the littest pull on the ebrake or a little pressure on the pedal they...

    Brake rotor life

    I put on a Cobra brake kit about 2 years ago, and the first set of rotors that came with the kit where x-drilled and they warped in about 6 months. I lived with them for a few months (since you can't turn X/D rotors). I then replaced all my rotors with Brembo's not drilled or slotted. That...
