Where are you at, Mackenzie? I'm trying to lookup the temperature history of where you live to see how far off 23F is compared to average and high/low records!

well, just last night i was under the audi, shorts and teeshirt till 10 pm-70 degrees, checking my charcoal canister( p0441 evap emissions code), now, its 40, but with windchill is 32; our pool pump has to stay on thru the night! just 6 days ago it was 80, my throat is already killing me- i luv fla, but the winters here suck b/c one week its 70-80, then it goes down like this, then 2 days later hot, then cold, just wish itd stay, so body could adjust, and ever1 not constantly get sick-----

btw, i luv mine- its paid for, has just hit 100k, and doesnt feel any different than day one when i drove away from the dealer with 4 miles on it, but my nephew, he has a 03 (dolphin grey) and none of his 4 windows will roll down! ive taken the door panels off, and every single one of them has the metal wire(which actually winds the window down from motor, off from their PLASTIC rotating sprocket) that is the only major flaw ive seen with tem; also they did put a new engine in mine in oct 07, b/c i changed the oil when i was suppost to, but anyways they made the oil return lines too small, thus the engine eventually died- as long as u changed oil when suppost to factory did cover it, but some people got screwed on that! now, they all come from the factory with synthetic, and they made the return lines larger; but when taking it apart to run power, speaker wire, u really see why they are quiet, and built well for the most part-

This is the one i´m going for when back home! I´m just curious how to fit 4 Sofas in there! But the trunk look´s big enough!

look at gkitchings closing photos of his shop on the phorum here, forget what section its under(titled parting shots, i think), he had an a4, ithink 99-01, even smaller, and it had 4 tantrum amps in the back, i thinkl; i have 2 ti amps behind the back seats, and then a rsd 1200.1 in the trunk, ive changed it alot over past year, had 2 rsd 1200.1s in there, a ti 1200.1, its VERY HARD to find a ho alt for these, keep that inmind- my stock bosch is a 150 amp alternator, and i use one small stinger gel battery and a single farad cap, and stock batt was replaced with red top gel batt-no issues, but dont know with 3-4 sofas???

I´ll have a second alternator custom fit in the car to feed the stereo only! Also 2 optima yellow tops have to fit into the spare tire bay. It all depends on what kind of woofers i´ll put in there! Still didn´t give up to find 2 of those clones! I bought one that is not working from a guy in germany for 140 Euros! We will see.... Hopefully it is repairable

Nice install u got in your car!

It´s kind a good to see that there are still people arround that do it the right and not just the cheapest way!
What do your doors look like? Any painfull changes u had to do to fit the other speakers in there?

thedeal7235 · Post by **thedeal7235** » Tue Jan 20, 2009 9:15 pm

no , i no longer use 6.5s in the rear for rear fill, all just up front, 2 tweets in a pillars( factory location too close to you, doors are easy, except VERY HARD TO GET 16gauge thru the doors, its TIGHT!!!!!

thedeal7235 · Post by **thedeal7235** » Tue Jan 20, 2009 9:17 pm

those were ti tweeets, but replaced them with rsd , and i like the rsds, tis are great too, rsds need no grey cloth around them, they are black with a small silver ring around them, they look like they belong there- ill take a pic and send-i like the rsd 6.5 for midbass better than the ti , but the tis are great too!!!!

Post by **joerg** » Tue Jan 20, 2009 9:23 pm

I ordered a set of TI9elites at mandrops germany yesterday! They will go into my front doors and the TI5´s and the tweets will fit the a pillar perfectly!

gotcha!!!! how much were they from mandrops, saw pricing but in euros, or different currency-

Mak, I'm 2 states above you. Come up here if you want screwy weather. Indiana is know for it. One day it'll be 80 out and sunny, that night it'll be 20 out and rainy. Just last week we set a record low for the high in Lafayette, at -2 for a high.

The weather here is nuts. Come on up sometime.

BTW, a friend of mine lives in Knox. By any remote chance you know him? Phillip Whodey.
