    Some awful substance on the paint.

    Uh, did you read some of the advice being given on the first page of this thread? That's what I'm referring to. No need to get angry... - Anthony

    Some awful substance on the paint.

    Careful with body shops - often times they don't have a lot of detailers. I would find a high end detailing store and take it there. Just my $.02... - Anthony

    Installed: Kicker KS600 6.5" Speakers

    Sensitivity is a rating of how efficiently speakers turn power into sound. If the number is higher, the speaker produces more sound with less power. This design is why the Polk *should* work better with the lower wattage being fed to it by our amplifier, and why the Kicker's should sound...

    See, once you start changing a stereo system in a car, you always look to the next thing to upgrade! :D I agree, that sub is pretty horrible. I read somewhere that someone used a JL 6w0 sub, and only had to trim the console a little bit (probably for the larger magnet). I think that a sub...

    Some awful substance on the paint.

    I wouldn't. I think either of the three products above will remove the substance from the paint. How far away are you from Northern VA? If you want to head down this way, I have all those products at my house. - Anthony

    Installed: Kicker KS600 6.5" Speakers

    I posted the technical differences, and I believe I mentioned briefly how they translate into real world differences. The Kickers have a 43hz frequency response, which is 7hz lower than the Polks. Theoretically, they should have a little better bass. However, a 6.5" speaker can't really...

    Drove the Viper from Florida to Maryland

    Wow... I don't know if I'd take the Viper from Orlando to Maryland without cruise control! I've done DC to Orlando/Sebring and back three times now in the past year and a half, and it's not a very fun trip. First time I did it was in my now sold RS 4: Then in our Long-Term Audi S4...

    Some awful substance on the paint.

    Holy crap there is some horrible advice being given here. If your clay bar didn't work, you need to move onto a solvent. There are only a few solvents that you should use on your paint. You want to start with the least strength product first and then move on up there. A great spot...

    Interesting... Did you install the speakers? How do you like them? - Anthony

    Installed: Kicker KS600 6.5" Speakers

    That is actually really what we need. I noticed that with the two-way speakers in the doors, I'm getting a lot of treble. It sounds good still, but I had to crank the treble on the head unit down to -1 otherwise it was overpowering. What would be the best way to do it is to run a set of...

    Running a speaker out of phase doesn't hurt it, it just kills all your bass.

    Installed: Kicker KS600 6.5" Speakers

    One thing to note about eBay and other online retailers - most aren't authorized dealers, so that means you won't have a manufacturer backed warranty. Not that it really matters for a $100 set of speakers, but I figured I'd throw that out there. They seem to be very comparable. As I said...

    Installed: Kicker KS600 6.5" Speakers

    When I was at my car audio shop, I mentioned to them that the Green was negative and black was positive. Since I had already removed the factory speakers, they tested the leads and infact green was negative. Perhaps this changed on later models, but mine was definitely green for negative. -...

    Installed: Kicker KS600 6.5" Speakers

    Oh, I forgot to mention... since you made fun of my previous write up, you can't use this one. Oh, and nice to see you make a post that is somewhat relevant to the topic at hand. ;) But yes, I saw that some people were using Polk's, and I wanted to try something else. I knew that there had...

    Installed: Kicker KS600 6.5" Speakers

    I'd say so. However, if the factory stereo is adequate for you, then you may not care to spend the money to do this upgrade. I wanted more from the system, but didn't want to rewire and go all out, so this was the right upgrade for me. I amd happy with the results, especially for the price...

    Installed: Kicker KS600 6.5" Speakers

    Well, I saw a thread on here asking about speakers, and then I got the bug to install new speakers myself. 30 minutes and $100 later, I have new speakers! :D Kicker KS600 - $129.99 (Crutchfield). I picked these up locally from Circuit City for $106.99. Specs on the Kicker KS600's...

    viper speaker help

    Thanks for the link. Crutchfield should sell the adapters, then you won't have to solder/crimp anything. So you replaced them with a 2 way speaker? I was under the impression that the front speakers were components (since the tweeter is up on the dash).

    viper speaker help

    Wallbanger - did you have to do any other modifications to the system? You are just running the 6.5's in the door and left all the other speakers the same? I agree that I think those would be the best bang for the buck upgrade, and the install looks like a breeze. I assume the only thing...

    If it was the power steering pump, wouldn't you hear that regardless what gear you are in?

    3rd gear whine

    I was at my local VW dealer getting the car state and emissions inspected, and I went out for a ride with one of their senior tech's. He heard the noise and said it sounds definitely like a transmission whine. If it was the rear diff, I should be hearing it in every gear. When I was...

    3rd gear whine

    OK, I definitely have power steering fluid in there and not ATF, as it is clear. It was a bit low, so I added some power steering fluid (maybe 200 ml). No change in the noise.

    3rd gear whine

    My coolant temps are pretty much locked at 200 degrees - I haven't seen it fluctuate much, if at all. I'm going to go down to the garage now with my flashlight and see if my fluid is red or clear.

    Clunking from the rear when going over bumps?

    Great, thanks. I will check that when I flush the brake fluid hopefully this weekend. - Anthony

    3rd gear whine

    I read through this thread: http://forums.viperclub.org/srt10-srt10-coupe-discussions/567075-2003-power-steering-pump-noise.html I did have the recall done, and I don't know if they used power steering fluid or automatic transmission fluid when they refilled it. The Recall was done in the...
