bypassing stock amp?
Amplifiers have a minimum impedance (ohm load). To describe an amp as being 4 or 6 ohms really doesn't help in giving any detail about it. Most amps will be rated for output power into a 4 or 2 ohm speaker, possibly less if its a digital (D Class) unit. The amplifier itself doesn't have its...- BlackIce97

some consolidated/new questions about system install
If you plan on using an aftermarket amp you will be unable to reuse the stock amp wiring. New power wire from the battery, as well as signal and remote outputs will also have to be ran from the head unit to the new amp. You have the option of running new wire to each speaker, or retaining the...- BlackIce97

f$*%&# best buy
To be honest in the dozens or so deck installs I've done in a Taurus/Sable with premium sound I've never once worked any further to see if there is a non-premium plug somewhere down the line. I wouldn't think any of the cars that use the square speaker plug would. The ****** premium sound is...- BlackIce97

Best Buy should have sold you the Metra 70-5511 (Integrator Harness), or I believe the 70-5514 (Eliminator Harness, prefered if you don't have a factory sub)- BlackIce97

A Lota stuff for sale!? Should I buy?
The most obvious reason why people don't use home audio equipment in their vehicles are that they are not designed to operate in the mobile enviroment. Continuous vibration, heat, humidity, moisture, etc. is hard enough on the gear specificially made for it, let alone products intented to sit...- BlackIce97

I actually made a bid on the kit during the national GP convention (Grand Prix Gathering) a few years back. Actually, had I ordered it from scratch I don't know if I would have picked the gathered look. I'll probably request a sample chart from them soon to choose for the SHO. I must say that...- BlackIce97

I have a Katzkin interior in my Grand Prix that I've been very happy with. I hope to do something with the SHO's interior in the near future as well as the factory leather is getting rather tired. Here is a couple pics from the Grand Prix...- BlackIce97

What can i do with this?(for the really smart ones)
there has been a few people to modify the I-openers to run modern PC software. They even used to sell a kit where you could install and mount a laptop IDE hard drive to the unit. Do a search on the internet, I'm sure you'll turn up a bunch of stuff.- BlackIce97

Anyone have a Pioneer 7200?
I know this is a few days old, but just incase anybody was wondering... - For any Pioneer HU with a function button Hold down the source button until the unit turns off. Press and hold the function button until it beeps and the setup menu is displayed. From there you should be able to set...- BlackIce97

Any thing new with the After market hoods?
I just got my SLP installed on my GTP and I love it. Something similar would be great to have for the SHO, though I think a cowl is a little more along the lines of Ford styling.- BlackIce97
