My subs sound terrible, and after tearing the cables loose on the AutoX course today, I fixed them but just reminded myself how much it sounds like crap.

Maybe someone can help me figure out how to tune it/adjust it?

Have you checked to make sure they aren't out of phase? make sure the speaker wires on the back of the subs are connected the same way and not reversed compared to each other.

I'm looking at replacing my factory rally stripes with something else. Anyone know of a good place in NE Ohio who has done any vinyl replacements or painted stripes?

Darth_Emma · 04-18-2011, 10:36 AM

Go painted. They look and last much better.

I'm having spears painted on my hood this week, but the shop is in Columbus.

velociSSimo · 04-18-2011, 10:39 AM

How much if you dont mind me asking? Did they have to remove old stripes?

Darth_Emma · 04-18-2011, 10:41 AM

No old stripes to remove. I'm paying $500 for the spears on the hood.

Existing stripes pull right off. Remember with paint you get what you pay for. Expect to spend $1500-$2000 for QUALITY blended and cleared so you can't feel the line stripes.

I'm worried about the paint looking different and showing up where the old stripes were and new may not cover. I'm open to doing it myself, but am thinking it may need buffed or something?

Darth_Emma · 04-18-2011, 10:49 AM

Yeah, I told the painter to make sure he burried the spears in clear... I don't want to feel the ridge there. He said he always does.

I had one quote for spears for over $800. I thought that was excessive (it was a dealer), so I got a referral from my performance shop and decided to go with First Impressions in Columbus.

You might want to ask a local performance shop who they recommend.

Good luck.

Your car isn't old enough I wouldn't think to have to worry about the paint being faded.

Plus you're in Cleveland... What are there, like 10 sunny days a year! LOL

yes, but I was quoted a better price for the show I went to in NC & Ron from Vengance said they would honor that proice when they did get some units in. Maryland Speed is also taking preorders, but with some of their posts on here, I'd probably choose to not buy from them.

If jr=3 then

I registered for the superfest in July. Are any of you folks going up for that? Looks like fun.

I just told my adviser my Gen Chem grades and she asked what my back up plan was.

FML.
