I havent had to buy car audio in 15 years. My old PPI subs and amp where the stuff to get back then. Now for my truck I replaced my jump seat with a home built center console/arm rest /sub box (1.04 cube) with a new MBQuart discus 12dvc and a visonic mono amp. never heard of visonic but for $130 for sub and amp at sonicelectronix.com (Free ship no tax) I couldnt beat it. sounds good. I dont listen to hiphop or crank the loud stuff anymore but cant live with weak bass flat mids and tiny highs.... Will be picking up a JL6.5 comp set...... Have a Deh-p6500 H/U.. I picked Pheonix gold on the list but now I read its not the same stuff as 15 years ago..

I changed one in my 72 Nova and this sounds like a peice of cake in comparison... Thanks

My Ignition lock cylinder is sloppy and you have to fiddle with it to turn sometimes. Any tips or how tos to replace it? Thanks

I have to disagree on the oil pressure. Higher doenst mean better. The old 10 PSi per 1000 RPM is not the rule anymore. 5 psi at idle with a 55 PSI max is good on aGen 1 small block with moddern Oil and clearances. Gen 3 small blocks are inline with this. Heck some prostock motors run 0 PSI idle and top out at 12 PSI and last entire seasons. I feel power is down a bit also. I have a case of 5-30 Royal Purple sitting on the shelf for next oil change..

Im back to doing my own work for sure

Had my 100K mile oil change a week ago. Besides trying to sell me $700 service package I have a strange problem. ($200 parts rest labor ) My truck always runs 40 PSi at highway speeds and gets 18-20 MPG (non SS 5.3 2003 ext) Now at freeway speeds Im nearing 50 psi and 15-16 MPG No other change was made and the shift started the moment I left dealer.... No SES light same gas as always and a few tanks ran through... I questioned dealer and they said I need that $700 service to fix? Im thinking they used some thick oil and thought they were screwing someone that wouldnt put 2 and 2 together... What do you think,. PS this same dealer painted over rust and flaking paint and used Zip ties to reattach the front bumper Valance.... Yes I didnt notice till well after I got it home.... My fault for not having a fine enough comb to search but this Oil change buisness is killing me...
