Getting new stereo, have questions?
I dont have a wagon so I have no idea what they look like or where to get them. Personally I think a decentset of 5 1/4 or 6 1/2 coaxial speakers would sound better and be easier to install and you may not have to use adapter plates.

Getting new stereo, have questions?
Yup.. suggestion Run seperate wire from the deck to the 6x9s and get a amp for the sub or you wont even hear it.. Make sure the amp has a built in crossover and set it to low pass at around 60-70 hz or you will get into the midbass range and that will sound funny with your 6x9s. Mike

metallic squeak rubbing noise
I thought it may have been my brakes, but it gets louder when rounding a corner. It calms down some under light acceleration and braking. Some ideas and feed back are welcome since it would be embarrassing to show up at a meet in this condition. Mike

Does the PK lift eat front tires?
I have no lift but my car had the V on the front and was eating tires.. now they are mostly staight but when i back up they go the other way / \ not too much but it bothers me as well .. I haven't noticed any changes in tire wear or anything and I have been keeping an eye on them.

Hifi in the Brat ?
That box is pretty cool. i couldn't get enough output from a single 8 so i used two even that wasn't enough when the tops our open. i do have some new plans but I gotta get it running again first. Mike
-
Hifi in the Brat ?
For better sound replace the deck speakers and put 6x9s behind the seats. For HiFi if you can fiberglass build kick panels or have an audio shop build them. and pu t a single 10 behind your seat. or maybe two 8's. Mike

Very cool Eric.. She looks tough.

Camber
I had my 86 Hatch aligned about a year ago and the camber was never right.. So I tried lowering the front to see if it would help.. Nada. The car is still removing the outside edge of the tire on drivers side.. It was affecting the passenger side too but the lowering of the front end seems to have stopped the wear on that side. Is there anything else that will cause the camber to be way off like that? The front is cranked down as far as it will go. Mike
