    13" Antenna

    I whacked and hacked it to about 18. I think I'm gonna knock it down another inch or two. No change in reception at all...so far. That dadgum little ball is somewhere in the corner of my garage now. Good excuse to sweep!

    13" Antenna

    Hey K, My car is identical to yours (before all of your deletes, etc.). I'll make sure to cut my antenna at a different length as well! Good thing I'm half-way up the Gulf from you, huh. Those are some badass wheels we got there from the factory too. I think they are the best that Ford offers...

    13" Antenna

    This is just too cool! Submit a question, work your ass off for a week, return to find really low-budget solution. I'll be whacking that sucker tomorrow. Thanks for the info.

    13" Antenna

    I'm really liking the billet aluminum 13" over there at Mustang Tuning. I do appreciate the offer.

    13" Antenna

    I really don't need that king kong antenna on the front of my car that Detroit was so nice to supply. I have seen a 13" over at Mustang Tuning .com for $27 but wondered if it was as effective as the factory skyscraper. Also, is there a better place to buy this thing without paying a pile for...

    6x8's which ones

    hey wing, so those are 5X7's in the front door also, huh? I was thinking about going with the 5.25 components up there but wondered about how easy that would work. I'm not opposed 5X7 components. what are the thoughts here folks?

    Gas mileage...shifting...etc

    you divide miles by how many gallons you put in. example 390 miles / 15 gal = 26 mpg

    Can't get rid of interference noise

    The reason I brought that up (the remote thing) was in our drunken stupor, me and a buddy once did that. It was afterwords that we realized we had done more than just had a few beers during the install. That is weird. Sounds like he's got a bum head unit. I'm puzzled.

    mach 1000 that good?

    From what I'm seeing out there, I probably need to sell mine when I take it out. Apparently there are some fine folks out there who are not as discriminate about their stereo as I am. What do you think?

    mach 1000 that good?

    My Mach 1000 is probably the best factory stereo I've ever heard. However, if you are accustomed to high quality sound systems, it pales in comparison. I am so vocal about mine because of the wretched commercialism of it all. There is no reason to use 6 amps for the low quality speakers that are...

    mach 1000 that good?

    I'm not sure what system you were looking at when you referred to "I like the trunk room it allows". The Mach 1000 has six factory amps that pretty much make the trunk a waste of time. Not to mention two 12" subs on either side. Go aftermarket. I'm two weeks from yanking this Mach 1000 crap from...

    Can't get rid of interference noise

    Like I said, the ground wires should be AS BIG OR BIGGER than the power wires for each component! You will have noise otherwise. It also sounds like you have the remote power wire connected to a 12V+ power source other than the deck. If the remote is wired correctly (meaning to the deck) it is...

    In this order: 1st Line says - Ford 2nd line says - 3R33 3rd line says - 19B113 then, made in Mexico or some crap Hope this helps you. I'm very shortly about to remove this poor excuse of a sound system and not to mention a giant waste of space! If you really must have it there it is...

    Can't get rid of interference noise

    I had a 79 F-150 that did the same thing. I did everything to try to get rid of it. I changed wires, checked harnesses, added a ground loop isolator,scraped paint off at the ground point. I also used a distribution block to ground 2 or 3 items and then one main ground from that point. What...
