One thing. A monstrous patio furniture set (table and chairs) from K-mart. It was a "lovely" Martha Stewart collection for my girlfriends new house. Other than that, I have carried nothing on the roof. 32" TV's and an 85 gallon fish tank in the back.After seeing the vibe without the r...

I bought wheel spacers made from airplane grade aluminum off of ebay. Just put wheel spacer in search and see what you come up with. The Vibe can handle the spacers on the back wheel, but you will get massive front end shakes with them on the front. I settled with 1" spacers on the back and not...

Quote, originally posted by ColonelPanic Â»If you want to keep the LED's power from a source in the door instead of running the wires to the dash, you could easily just tap into the +12V lead for the power windows.

Hello everyone - I am interested in installing two small LED's in the door handle area on each from passenger side door. The effect would be a backlit area in the compartment where the door handle sits. I know how to install them as far as getting the LEDs to sit inside the door the way I want...I j...

Hey cdfxer - Thanks for the offer to take a look at the amp free and help out if you could. If I was going the route of installing a new amp, which I know would in turn lead to a new head unit, I would definetely take you up on your offer. But, I am lazy and low on the funds (moving from Michigan to...

I would do that in a second...and you are in Dearborn, so I could come to you and pick it up where you like.How does $40 grab ya? e-mail me at rutawkg2me@hotmail.com to set something up...

SlappyMcHappy

Well, looks like I blew out my M&T amp that is located uner the front passenger seat. If I wanted to replace this, I suppose I would get a 4-channel amplifier. I have 2 door speakers and 2 satelite tweeters up front, and 2 door speakers in the back.How would you hook these speakers to a 4-channe...

SlappyMcHappy

Quote, originally posted by Jahntassa Â»Many aftermarket amplifiers have multiple fuses on them. I've never known exactly how they're wired, but I don't think it's a fuse per channel, because I have a monoblock amplifier that has three 15 amp fuses giving me a total of 45 amps worth of fuse. If one ...

SlappyMcHappy

Quote, originally posted by joatmon Â»i would think that any external fuse would take out power to the entire amp or head unit, and not leave you with the front speakers still working.I don't know if there are fuses/circuit breakers inside the amp itself. There's also a fuse block under the dash, mo...

I have a Moon and Tunes package (6 ( 4-6.5's and 2 satelitie tweeters w/amp under front passenger seat). Yesterday, I was going to upgrade all four 6.5's with Infinity 6002si's.

Well, what you said and described worked like a charm, Mase. Funny how all of the online instructions in this forum and elsewhere fail to mention those key details. Anyway, I am now completely and 100 happy with my Bomz short ram CAI. This only cost around $60, looks awesome, gave my car a boost and...

I haven't tried what you have told me to do yet, but - - thank you for taking the time to answer this! I am hoping what you have detailed here will help...and yes, I AM throwing up a CEL.

Hello everyone - I recently purchased a Bomz Racing short-ram off of ebay for like $65. The directions were crap, but with help from this forum and a couple of back-and-forth e-mails, I had a successful install. One thing I took away is that it is actually a lot easier than you think...I was overthi...

SlappyMcHappy

just a little sidenote...I was looking for a mechanic or place I can get the Eibachs installed in that was near or around Oakland County. I wasn't clear on that in my first post.

SlappyMcHappy

Hello fellow Michiganers. I have a couple of questions for you. I will be purchasing some Eibach springs, most likely off of ebay. I wanted to get a idea of how much the Pro & Sport drop the car. For instance, the Sport set drops 1.7" to 2.25" That is a big gap in between those two num...

A little more for those that are curious:Taken from "Atuo-guy" on the internet:So what causes shimmy and shakes in the front end? The biggest culprit is an out-of-balance or out-of-round tire. As the tread on the tire wears, it will need to be re-balanced to evenly distribute the weight of...

SlappyMcHappy

Quote, originally posted by joatmon Â»I wouldn't question alignment as much as I would wonder if the spacers caused your wheels to not be exactly centered, effectively throwing them out of balance. Hard to know how possible that is without seeing the spacers. When I have had alignment problems, ther...

SlappyMcHappy

I can't give you any pics right now as I'm at work, but I will post 'em either today or tomorrow. Just keep in mind that this is an OVERALL 2" increase in stance (1" per side). The tire is still under the fender, but barely. It looks really nice now, as before I always thought it looked a ...

SlappyMcHappy

I am pretty sure this will most likely be an alignment issue, but I'm not sure. I purchased and installed 1" spacers on my ride. The effects look fantastic as the tires are now just a tad under being flush with the fenders.Here's the problem...at low speeds there is no shimmying or shaking. I t...

Dude - your dealership where you bought the car ALWAYS works with one company for certain things. In other words, just because the actual guy who sold you your car isn't there doesn't mean life as we know it stops. Call the dealership and ask them the name of the company that they use to install ala...

Quote, originally posted by ragingfish Â»No, there are no adjustments on the amp.I've had similar situations in all my cars, including this one. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the location of your ear in relation to the speakers. On the right side, the speakers are far away, and can easily projec...

Has anyone else had or have a problem with the left/right sound volume coming from the speakers? It seems to me that my right channel is almost 50%, but definetely 25-40% louder than my left channel.Yes, I have played with the balance and to get the stereo to sound centered and not lopsided and lean...

OK...so I tried what ngilbert said and it works. Thanks man! And that tip on the "added circuit" harness was fantastic. Quick and painless. Funny how I have not heard of that before, and Bazooka itself fails to mention this very easy option in its install directions.Thanks again. My Vibe n...

SlappyMcHappy

wow! that's some nice information here, ngilbert. Thanks a million!

SlappyMcHappy

Thanks...I'll let this thread hang for a little while and see if I get some suggestions. If not, I'll try that e-mail. I don't think this is a bazooka specific question though. I pretty much think for any subwoofer you have to run seperate power line and remote line. I should probably add that I hav...

I searched and I searched. And then, I searched some more. I bought a bazooka off of ebay. For the most part, I understand the installation but am having trouble in a few areas.
