Not cheap, but a water deionizer was the best car accessory I've ever bought. I haven't dried a car since. Just wash with normal water then rinse down with the deionized water. Finally I use a leaf blower to get a lot of the water off then just let it sit. If you hit the cracks and mirror...
Yeah I see what you are talking about. Hard to tell, I would have figured the Brembo label would have stood out a bit more on the caliper though. Who knows...
Nice car and congrats!
I have a '16 GT Convertible Performance Pack (PP1 as the other poster referred to it). Yours is a straight GT with the upgraded 20" wheels. The PP's have staggered 19's, Brembo front brakes, and a few other goodies.
In terms of the lack of sub, you have the "standard"...
I've done it, just have to have them sit on the top of the seat back. It was rough on my clutch though. Never fast enough to just idle and never slow enough just to coast. Clutch had a little chatter to it for a few miles afterward.
I did Polk rears and the 6.5" component Polk's in the lower door with Kicker tweeters (i think they were Kicker). I probably did it the hard way but didn't want to do coaxial speakers in the lower door for fear it would be too bright. I left the 3.5's in the door alone and did the Polk 3.5...
I had replaced all of my other speakers first and was still really unhappy. I just did the center a few weeks ago and like others have said, it was the single biggest improvement (next to adding a sub). I unsoldered the factory harness and used it with the capacitor from the Polk speaker.
The...
That JL box has an amp built in so its a nice tidy install. We pulled the signal from the front speakers. I'll take a pic this week to show you everything. Also if you search this sub forum for posts by me you'll find one that shows the AsBuilt values to edit to disabled the DSP top function...
I have the base Shaker and went with the JL dual 8 Microsub:
(http://www.jlaudio.com/cp208lg-w3v3-car-audio-microsub-subwoofer-systems-93295)
It fits perfectly under the well where the top sits when folded. I have seen a single 10 box but didn't feel like dealing with a separate amp, etc.
It...
I've been trying to get that harness for a while. Where did you get yours? There was a guy on here that was selling them for a while but then he dropped off the face of the earth. I found another one with a programmer but they want $200+ and won't sell it without the programmer.
I used the bracket that Polk provides. I had to tweak it a little by drilling out two extra holes to line up with the factory bracket.
I bought a set of Polk DB6501's to do the tweeter and 6.5 in the front. I'm not going to use the cross over for the tweeter but put a cap on it to tune it. I...
Crap, I was just in there replacing mine with Polk DB651's the other night. I had about a quarter inch of clearance to the closest thing behind if I recall. It was really easy to get in there. Would only take literally a min to remove the two panels.
All of that said, the speakers sit in a...
I THINK I GOT IT!!!!!
In the DSP change 783-01-01:
FROM: 2000
TO: 0000
I need to take the car out and run it around but in the garage it sure does sound the same!
HUGE THANKS TO SPART AND QUACKFOO!!!
I'll check back in a couple of days to confirm This isn't my daily driver and the weather...
Man, I really appreciate all of the effort on this!!! Seriously, you saved me a lot of leg work. Wish I could say I got it, but no dice yet. I changed each one, tried a few EQ variants, and a few variations on 727-01-01 xxxx xxxx Xxxx but it still does the same thing. I see a DSP module as...
I added a JL Microsub to a base Shaker (no Sub) a few weeks back and was completely disappointed. I generally drive with the top down and just noticed last week that the bass is pretty good with the top up but as soon as you unlatch the top the bass drops dramatically. At first I thought it...
