    Speaker Mounting

    the pods are kinda large and would make a pretty big blind spot. they arent too cheap either and IMO, plastic just doesnt make good sound. they make those pods with durability in mind, sound quality comes second. my only suggestion would be to get a pair of those 6x9 prefab boxes shops sell...

    rebuilding the A440

    the verdict is in...

    Im on Oahu as far as junkyards go, im pretty sure there isnt anything i can use. there arent really much junkyards here that have anything more than really old Hondas and the rest are American cars. a running version is rare here, to find one with parts in good shape and useable would be...

    Amp install; under seat or cargo area?

    if those 2 are the coices, i recommend under the seat. although it will be at risk of possibly getting kicked by passengers, being in the cargo area will be like an oven to kill the amp.

    the verdict is in...

    some might remember my post with my transmission issues. well i took it to the shop to have them diagnose it and they confirmed my thoughts....tranny is dying. so i got a repair estimate of about $5k. seems high but it includes the complete rebuild using OE or better parts, replacing rear shaft...

    Which shocks to use? Getting 1" - 2" lift
