But if I unplug the sub will the amp still power the speakers? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to get all the ?'s out of the way

mswvibe

Not yet, I still gotta get em. Buy one get one free from bestbuy. Can't beat two subs for $80.

mswvibe

does the amp only give power to the sub or does it give off power to both sub and speakers?

mswvibe

i have a 05 m/t base. i just bought two kicker comp series 8" subwoofers. im getting a ported box made wiith a hifonix 1200watt amp with all the wiring. my question is what should i do with the old sub? should i just disconnect the leads for the sub or what? does the amp only work for the sub o...

mswvibe

Thanks Guys.

mswvibe

yeah i know how to get there and all. i was just checking to see which parking lot it was going to be at. cause i see two of them one by a pool and one closer to the golf club area.

mswvibe

hey, i wanted to be 100% sure. is the meet going to be at the park closest to costco or the one right by east 91st St

mswvibe

a place right in my town called Cartek's. its pretty reliable. i got lifetime warranty on the tints.

mswvibe

Quote, originally posted by sgp2012 Â»i was planning on getting 30% because thats the legal limit here in indiana. i got my tints done for $165. and i got 20% tints. ive had no trouble with cops in indiana.

mswvibe

mswvibe

Thank you sgp. i just went to autozone and purchased Meguiar's clay bar kit and Nxt liquid wax kit. im really excited to do this. anyone use these products yet? let me know your opinions and experiences with them.

mswvibe

indeed. Thanks everyone for the compliments.

mswvibe

no i used this http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ...&s=hino clear coat, i just want the flat look

mswvibe

Thanks Bastranz. I'm applying a second coat of flat black, to make it a little darker. Its still gonnna be flat looking. That's my whole theme. Flat black and red

mswvibe

Actually all I did was clean the surface really well. Tapped it off and put a base gray primer coat on it. Waited until about an hour and then but a coat of rustolieum high performance enamel (flat black). I didn't sand it cause I was afraid it would look too grainy and fragile after I'd sand it. So...

mswvibe

I'd say, paint it. Yeah ill take some time, but it'll look really good. I still gotta put a second coat on the bumper. $10 for paint.

mswvibe

oh yea...i so forgot. Thank you for reminding me star

mswvibe

mswvibe

lol, i knew you guys were gonna grill me. lol, im working on it

mswvibe

So this is an addition to the earlier post i made about the roof rails. So last night a buddy and i decided to take apart the roof rails and paint the front and back caps, rail flat black. Thanks to all the GenVibers that posted topics on how to remove the rails. Removing them only took 15min. I had...

mswvibe

haha thanks pshyco. but i already painted them flat black. lolthansks for the suggestion tho, lol

mswvibe

Gosh, Pontiac always finds a way to over price you. I just bought 6 new retainer clips for the roof rack. And it was a ungodly $27.52 for little clips. Who charges $4.32 for a piece of plastic. But I had to buy them, mine snapped =[. Well once I get them I'll be completely taking off the rack and pa...

mswvibe

man that thing looks sick. im jealous, piece of art

mswvibe

yeah ive been thinking about it. im prob gonna go to a sign shop or this graphic designer down the street from my house. the designer knows me pretty well so he might hook me up, and might install it for me. lol like i said everythings still in the air.

mswvibe

thanks guys. i feels good getting all your feedback. heads up i just got a cosmo short ram intake. intalled and im in love with it. the vibe feels so much diffrent now with it on, i love the sound of it.

mswvibe

tstick. i have the same problem. i have an 05 and i thought it might of been the battery, so i bought a new one and it still sometimes does it. hot or cold its like it has a mind of its own.

mswvibe

i have a pair of 10k ddm tuning HIDS. and they are perfectly fine in the rainy nights. no glare or anything. its better to see everything on and off the road.

mswvibe

true that. its still up in the air on what im gonna do. i might just keep it like it is.

mswvibe

im still debating, cause if i end up painting them its gonna be a pain taking the rails off.

mswvibe

oh you bet i am. hopefully soon im gonna buy some mugen springs of neverenough.com, for $170 drop 2 inches front and back. =D

mswvibe

nah. they are msw type 16 rims. there's 2 options for this rim: chrome or black w/red pinstripe

mswvibe

1992 ford tempo GL..lol just like this (exactly)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9PshWYDa5Ecurrently my baby 2005 vibe =D

mswvibe

Thanks bluecrush, im going somewhere about an hour away from mall of America. im going with a couple of friends. ROAD TRIP =Dand starr, i love my rims also. altho they love rocks... i gotta get some scratch paint for them.

mswvibe

Thanks jkm. Personalization was key in this theme. I wanted my car to represent me and my style. Its one of a kind in my eyes. Lol. As for the Indy trip, I'd love to go and meet fellow genvibers. But ive already made plans to go to Minnesota for a fishing trip on the 16th. Maybe some other time. I'l...

mswvibe

Its been a long time since you guys and gals have seen the vibe. the most recent thing ive done was paint the calipers and drums flat black. ive also put new vinyl "HK-Designz" decals on the back windows. i also put 10k HIDS in. Now im planning on painting the roof rails flat black..but im...

mswvibe

glad to see it back. gotta love the sound of a Subaru. =D

mswvibe

I have 19's and it rides a lil rough. its only because i have really low profile tires on it, and anything and everything makes it feel different. personally i don't get bothered by it. im actually use to it.

mswvibe

i just did this process today. and im in love with it. i FINALLY have control. now im ordering my HIDs from ddmtuning.com. =D

mswvibe

so to disable the DRLS you have to cut the red/white wire (pin 12). is that all you have to do? cause im kinda scared but i really wanna get HIDS. =Dhellp would be awesome.

mswvibe

So keith. do i just snip the red/white wire in pin 12. and thats it?No more DRLS?

I use Photoshop...

mswvibe

just something i did really quick. haha

mswvibe
