    new stereo system phase I

    I would not use noise barrier in the doors, they are more or less enclosures and sound deadener works better there (you want to lower the resonant frequency of the door skin to minimize the vibrations, you do not have to worry about road noise there. However, the floor pan and area behind the...

    Weird blotches in paint after Meguiars waxing -What the heck?

    I think the freshly applied wax will sweat regardless how breathable your cover may be. I use a slightly damp towel after polishing to reduce this effect. I can see why I do not have a black car anymore, LOL.

    Weird blotches in paint after Meguiars waxing -What the heck?

    I would just leave it alone. Washing the car alone does not go beyond just cleaning the surface, the old wax is still there and wax wears off unevenly, this is why you end up with the blotches, some of new wax goes all the way to the paint and some does not. Usually, you can remove the...

    new stereo system phase I

    What did you do with the factory dash tweeters? Seems like you got coaxials instead of dedicated midbass like in OEM system. Did you disconnect the tweeters or run both doors and tweets at the same time? Curious why you went with coaxials. In my experience, to limit the road noise in the...

    Weird blotches in paint after Meguiars waxing -What the heck?

    Did you use the clay bar to strip the surface before waxing? It helps to open the paint before waxing to have it penetrate evenly. Stripes and blotches happened to me in the past, due to not doing good job applying the wax and then removing it through buffing. I learned to use a moist towel...

    Question about subwoofer removal

    Hey, I only motivated myself because the stock sub rattled real bad, maybe blown woofer or maybe the fancy port came loose:D Unless something blows, I'll be exercising self restraint. I actually cannot believe I used 8 inch driver for this. I originally had them for the doors of my C5 which I...

    Question about subwoofer removal

    Just spraying with some trim semi gloss black paint, nothing fancy to keep it stock looking. So no, no carbon fiber here, LOL.:D I have to use some grill cloth on the factory grills though, this woofer has the dust cap with white lettering that will look off center for sure. I am just going...

    Question about subwoofer removal

    So... more progress... The finished bottom (with extra mating surface for stronger bond and no issues with alignment of both parts. and top, from the top and from the bottom, extra support for screw location. Bonded together and primed. I think it should look OEM when...

    Any Legitimate Carbon Fiber Interior Vendors?

    Unfortunately it does not even come close to real CF wrap, there is no depth to it and weave looks like it is painted on.

    Any Legitimate Carbon Fiber Interior Vendors?

    I do too. Last time I asked them, they wanted about 1700 to do the set of three though, with the speedo bezel costing the most.

    Any Legitimate Carbon Fiber Interior Vendors?

    Wow, someone was just looking a while ago for a blank radio trim. Interesting find. Unless my eyes deceive me, there is quite a bit of distortion in the weave though around a few areas, maybe it just looks this way in the pic...

    Any Legitimate Carbon Fiber Interior Vendors?

    Real CF requires molds which create high start up cost and not cost effective for limited number of cars like Vipers. CF wrap on complex parts is very labor intensive, thus the cost. Good luck finding someone wrapping these parts for less, especially if you want to wrap the speedo bezel...

    Question about subwoofer removal

    Well, at least you did not have to worry about keeping the trunk lid down, using 8:D I had a couple of high excursion 12s in one my old drop tops and seeing the trunk lid going up and down was quite a sight. I had to build a loading board in the trunk to let the subs unload on the board...

    Question about subwoofer removal

    Bass is mainly about efficiency for output and lack of tonal archifacts that will tell your ears to localize the origin of the sound (bass). I am hoping the factory amp will do in this set up, if it does not, I can hook up a separate amp and intercept the signal from the high level sub wire (I...

    Question about subwoofer removal

    It may make a difference regarding energizing the air if you want to produce high SPL levels, corner loading is commonly used to unload the sub in a small space instead of trying to pressurize the entire interior at once. In a convertible, the trunk can work to do this but only if you assure...

    Question about subwoofer removal

    Uhm no, this is actually a perfect location for a subwoofer, the closer it is to you, the less output is required to blend in with the rest of the speakers. This is a convertible, there is no cabin pressure period although this is a perfect location in any car period. The problem with trunk or...

    what are the best sill protectors??

    I'd get some floor mat protectors then, at least on the driver side:D

    what are the best sill protectors??

    Thanks. I was just stating my experience from Viper and Corvette. If you like the looks, then do it for looks, if you want protection, you can put clear guard over the edge of the sil (although if this gets scuffed, you have to replace it)l or watch your feet and watch over others getting in...

    Question about subwoofer removal

    So... over this weekend, I finished the other half of the enclosure, building up the thickness and creating mating surface took a bit time... There is more to the second half of the enclosure but I did not have the time to take pics... I tried for size today, the woofer fits pretty...

    Hmmm, I hope you drive better than you can count... Must be that real driver math on your part... http://www.theviperstore.com/Viper4_Products_Performance_Engine.htm BTW, if the OP has emission issue, 08 would work better for him since simple bypass resistor works on 08 instead of paying...
