  1. hey guys, I just picked up a 95 cobra. It has the mach 460 system which actuall isn't that bad with the pioneer head unit. It has great mid bass but I need some lows.

    I'm not sure what subs I'm going to go with. I want a single dc lvl 3 12. I will probably temporarily run that off my audiobahn crappy amp and then what should I look into getting for it? I was thinking either the dc lvl 3 or possibly a rockford fosgate stage 3 because of how cheep they are and they dont sound too bad.

    I know the box depends on the sub and also on the car its going in. I don't have the sub yet but I want to get an idea of what kind of box I will be making. should I go ported or sealed because its a coup? also should I have the sub or subs facing the back or into the seats?

    I'm just looking for recommendations because I've never put anything in a car that wasn't a hatchback.

    thanks in advance.

  2. I dont have any subs to sell you but just wanted to let you know that perfecting a box with a mach 5 probably wont help that much when you change to the dc.

    recommended box sizes for the mach 5 18 are 2.8 sealed 4.5 ported to 30 hz

    the recommendation on the dcs are 5.75 cu ft ported.

    I know you probably aren't going to stick with the recommendations from the manufacture but judging by that and their specs they will require different boxes to sound their best.

  3. I tried using my other remote, I programmed that and it still doesn't work.

    Kiddies, don't buy off-brand Alarms because it is cheap. <_<

    dont buy compustar either. almost the same problems but expensive company... random times mine will say their is no signal and if i press the button like 20-30 times it might work. other than that usually the only thing that resets it is unlocking the car with the key while the alarm is on and turning the ignition on and off 5 times and that sets the remote to valet mode. take it out of valet mode and its find for a few weeks. lol usually always messes up at the worst time. leavin a friends house late and get ready to leave after my friends pass out and then have to break into my car... almost always the same situation lol

    I dont know if your alarm but if it ever wont let you in your car at all try unlocking it with the key and turning the ignition on and off 5 times to disarm the alarm and it should send it to valet mode. unless you have a set up that has something to disable the starter like me.. still works but if it dosent for some reason wouldnt be able to use my car at all and would have to rip out the entire brane of the alarm system.

    good luck, I still havent found a company that will check out my alarm that dosen't want 9 hour job out of it.

  4. hey guys I'm thinking of painting my 89 mustang gt. currently it is painted gloss black and it's decent but could be much better. the reason for getting my car painted is that first i need to put on my new front bumper but need it painted, second I need a huge dent removed because of a retarded AAA guy trying to tow my car by my gas filler neck....

    I can get the labor done for almost free even with the dent but I need to decide on whether I'm going to paint the whole car or just the front bumper and if when the dents is pulled around that.

    any idea on approximately how much it will be for primer, paint, clear and any other necessities? Friend already has the gun and prep tools. I don't need anything extremely hi quality, just decent enough to make it worth painting the car.

    thanks in advance for any info also I live in northern california about an hour away from modesto and stocton if that helps at all

  5. if I buy one I'll most likely only use it on this box. lately I've been threw a lot of boxes because of subs that I'm either barrowing been given in exchange for a box or building for someone else but once I get my new subs and amp set up that I'm actually buying what I want I'll most likely use it once unless I come up with a better idea for a box.

  6. I cant find prices for the dc sounds subs. also I havent heard much about them other than spl and thats not all what I'm going for.

    I was thinkin about 2 type r 12s. their on ebay in a set for $210 but I dont think I have enough space for them.

    I never thought about the ssds because I've never seen anyone use them by themselves.

    I was thinking about possibly getting this amp instead.

    would that be a better choice?

  7. I have an 89 mustang hatchback and about 3-max 4 cubes of room to work with. without a rear seat delete. I want something decently loud with good sound quality. and I have around $400 to spend on subs and an amp which I know isn't much but I saw how much type rs are on ebay and their pritty cheep so I was thinking that rout but dont know because I've never heard them other than in really shitty boxes.
