I installed a stereo system last year and found there wasn't enough sound coming through from the trunk where I have my subwoofer. I cranked up the amp as...
Here's a trick the E28 guys used for this same problem. After removing all the trunk trim and the back seat, cut a hole in the sheet metal separating the two,...
Thanks Steve - Those are some decent ideas. I will see if I can lift the carpet stuff without damaging it (on the rear console shelf). If I can, nobody would...
I have two 10 inch MTX speakers that have a RMS of 1000 watts. I only have a Kenwood 250 amp on them and they sound great in the trunk. Are you looking to...
I like the sound of a competition system, but will settle for something close. Presently the sound is pretty balanced throughout the car - I have a 2x30w...
I have two pieces of information that might help your situation. 1. I have already opened the ski pass-through hole on my car to let more bass into the...
I partialy tore down my distributer. Not the guts but the vacuum advance and misc screws on the outside. Now, several weeks later, I am staring at the various...
When I had my subwoofer in the trunk ( a pioneer diamond bullet 500w, ran off a Alpine V12 amplifier) I found that the rear speakers in the parcel shelf were...
The low frequencies (e.g. Below 200Hz) are omni-directional, so the direction of the speaker won't make much difference in how you hear the sound. But the...
Is it true jumpering pins 11 to 14 will work as remote starter without the ignition turned on? This seemed to be suggested elsewhere to aid in adjusting...
Hi folks, What is the "normal" position of the needle on the temperature gauge when the engine has reached operating temperature (stock). Halfway? Quarterway?...
Just some tips I found online, copied and pasted: It's easier to pull the distributor cap and use the rotor to determine where the crankshaft is. Just point...
It should be between the first line after the blue and the mid-way line. I use two different thermostats - one for summer and one for winter. My winter one is...
No, I didn't do any checks other than to see the coolant level was full. Is there a reason to check for air? How is it done? Thanks ... From: Mladen Micic...
Yes, according to the Haynes manual I have, it says run the engine at 4000rpm for 30 seconds (I think 30 secs...don't hold me to that time) after the engine...
There are two types of thermostats - failsafe and regular. The failsafe thermostats will stick open (allowing full flow) if then fail. The regular ones will...
Make sure you disconnect the coil cable to the distributor first! I never liked this method, even though I bought one of those "waste-your-money" remote...
It is not impossible (merely improbable) that the "new" thermostat is defective. It has happened to me. To test, remove the thermostat and place it in water...
Thanks for the responses guys, The main question was whether it was truly getting too hot. The consensus seems to be that it is. I have had vehicles that the...

Terry - Do you know the P/N for the mentioned "summertime" thermostat? I've currently got an 80C in my M10, but wouldn't mind the 74-76C for the summertime...
I don't know that part number off hand - it was the one already installed. They sell them at Canadian Tire here in Canada - send them an email and see what...
I made the remote starter switch today and it works awesome! Basically it's a black box with a momentary switch, and 2x lights, 3x wires (two with banana plugs...
I have bought a remote starter switch tool for about $25 USD and it came with an adapter for all BMW. That is about $40 CAN and I did no work. Mel ... ===== ...
Mel, I realize even a paperclip will do, but there are extras I wanted, like the third wire for a ground, and red light to show power is getting to the switch....
Terry, I don't, I bought it while back maybe almost 2 years now and don't remember who I bought it from. Mel ... ===== Mladen Mel Micic z3velocity@... ...

We may *perceive* the waves as omni-directional, but wave cancellation is still possible no matter how low the frequency. This would probably be the only...
