    Which engine will work?

    I priced gaskets, they were 65-80 dollars, and they have to be sent to a machine shop, so thats another 220-250 dollars. I found a few engines for 400 to 500 dollars.

    MTX amplifiers... your opinion??

    I have had 2 mtx amplifiers and they both were great. I had a 200 watt one powering my mids and highs and a 350 watt mono one powering my audiobahns, it sounded great. I recommend a mono one for the subs. I also had the jbl 600.1 and it puts out plenty of clean power and none of them overheat.

    Check engine light

    Hey guys the check engine light came on today on my way home, but there was no indication of what it might have been, it just suddenly came on. The car is a stock 94 with only gt takeoffs, h-pipe, and k&n. Any ideas on what it might be or what to do about it?

    Hooking up stereo

    Hey would it be safe to take a home stereo and hook it up like an amp in my car? I could cut the plug and hook the power to a battery source and ground the other wire. Would it be safe or is a power inverter NEEDED?
