• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    RTS 5.25" change to 6.5" speakers

    By a show of hands (posts) would it be possible to expand the speaker opening in the RTS to accomodate a 6.5" speaker instead? I was very tempted to make a fiberglass enclosure pod, but enlarging the opening may be better.

    Will this code go away once more brake fluid is added? I have this issue too. I thought the dealer had to clear it?

    JBL amp finally installed and working!

    Here are my initial results from today. The sound is MUCH better. Not perfect. I think several things factored into the nont perfect score. 1- Only the tweeters are working on my rear Polk's. The main speaker baffle seems kaput. 2- The begining of the low end, all of the midrange and high end...
