    Noise interferance in speakers

    Try earthing your rca terminals on the back of your deck. ie. Wire wrapped around the terminals then earthed onto the frame of the deck by on of the screws. Meh, worked for me...

    Seal or rebuild sub box?

    Don't bother with all the blocks etc to get it square. If the front back and sides are all cut square and joined flush it'll square itself up. Sorry, my first comment was relying on the fact that the front face was not cut square but the joined sides were. LOL Oh, another tip.. Stop...

    Seal or rebuild sub box?

    i'd seal it if your going to carpet it, or fix it if your going to paint it.

    ticking is driving me nuts

    I can't believe nobody mentioned the first and most important step. Check your oil levels. Does it go away after the car warms up a bit?

    Doing up a 173 blue motor??

    to my knowledge they are all the same. Then again, i'd never heard of a blue 173. I imagine the only difference would be the water jackets. and extra holes in the block. ask the guys on oldholden.com

    Ebay dilemma

    lol, actually... I recieved no return contact from that seller. Then they slap a non-paying bidder on that account, so they lost out... Spose I only really hung onto the account in anticipation for a time like this.

    Funnyest/weirdest Thing Ever Happen To You Whlie On The Rds

    haha having a flashback moment, reminds me of the time my mate flogged a couple of plastic trays from maccas, we took my old pulsar out, drove the backwheels onto the plastic trays, put the handbrake on and started driving. best fun in a front wheel drive ever!!!

    Funnyest/weirdest Thing Ever Happen To You Whlie On The Rds

    not bagging out or anything, but like the time a young fella in a vn tried to pass me on an offramp in my v6 pajero?..60km zone to 100km, I think he understimated the torque of the paj a bit and ended up cutting himself off. Well I though it was great anyway.
  27. Matty081

    Sealed, Ported and Distortion

    my theory as to ported vs sealed is that sealed boxes obviously have internal pressure when the sub is vibrating. Consequently the sub cannot "come back" as quick as it should or to quick on the other side of the scale(pressure pushing it out)and doesn't have as much freedom to move. I think it...

    Ultimate ricer? WARNING: Don't look at this first thing in the morning!

    it seems the owner has taken it upon him self to add all of those fins, wins and spikes to the exterior of the car to reduce the cars relative horse power to bring it back down to safe levels for the road…….which makes it a truly well engineered masterpiece of the road……….haha

    vs rear speakers

    really got to go audition speakers for yourself to get a good feel for what you want. bring your own music cd and make sure they haven't got them running through an amp. otherwise i've always had a thing for pioneer speakers(could you tell?) out of all the small amount of types of speakers...

    vs rear speakers

    make a custom shelf if you can, or sit them on pods, yes it is illegal to cut the structural member of your car without having an engineer check it over. But whos to say you will get caught........ untill you sell your car and the buyer wants it fixed so it is roadworthy....$$$$$$$$ to be...
