You won't necessarily hear clipping, nor distortion for that matter. The two don't go hand in hand either. You will always have some order(s) of distortion, but not always clipping. You can have both or neither as well (audibly).

Just don't buy a Ram. I am a Ford man, and I won't touch GM after the bailout shit, but it's better than Chrysler.

I love my BIL's truck. It's like a frickin house in there. The long bed/crew cab thing pissed me off. I think you can get it on the 150 with the XL package, but that's rubber floors, vinyl seats, manual windows. Eff that.

Have you driven the Edge yet? My mom had one and my sister and her husband both have one, and I can's stand driving them. The damn nose cuts so sharply, I could never get used to exactly where that front end was. It's not much bigger than the Escape inside either, and even worse, the Explorer is only slightly larger than the Edge inside. Do you know anything about the new Ecoboost Explorer? all I know it's a 2.0.. Seems like American producers are finally taking cues from foreign companies and using smaller more efficient engines or adding turbos to raise HP/MPG Just what I thought.. it is turboed. Yup. 2.0 turbo. The V6 has twins.

It's not much bigger than the Escape inside either, and even worse, the Explorer is only slightly larger than the Edge inside. my wife had an edge for a rental for work on time and she really liked it. the cargo area seemed quite a bit bigger than our older escape. diaper bag, stroller, case of water, and no room for a costco run in the escape. my wife dosent like the explorer. im more of a chevy guy growing up so i wanted her to get the traverse. but she likes her little ford. the Flex is funky but rather large inside. I loved the Flex! The stadium seating in the rear is awesome and with the dual moon roofs, man.. .

Hopefully next year I can get a Focus ST if they allow them to be purchased on A/Z plan.

Seems like American producers are finally taking cues from foreign companies and using smaller more efficient engines or adding turbos to raise HP/MPG They've done it before and then gas became cheap again and it was not an issue, so they went back to their roots. THe Explorer with EcoBoost is only available in FWD. That's about all I know. My mom only gets AWD, so she never bothered with the EcoBoost. My BIL has a 2011 F-150 with the EcoBoost though and it's pretty nice. He gets around 28 and he drives crazy. It's got plenty of power too, but nothing that will blow your mind in a big truck.

We haven't had any issues with our 05 Explorer except for some aesthetic stuff. The rear hatch panel likes to crack, we had it fixed at some point but stopped caring. I think that car LITERALLY has 50k miles on it. My mother wanted to buy a used one, but they made her such a deal on a new one, she couldn't say no.

MY son's mom has an '11 Escape as well. The front seat is not too bad, but yes, the rear, fuck that. Fine for kids, but anyone over 5'5" and you're cramped.

Weird. Well, good luck to him. I would say take it in to the dealer, but damn what a hassle for a convenience problem.

Does it have the touchscreen?

Although now that I think about a Crown Vic would work just as well and is a far cooler platform to customize. what kinda custom? and what year were you thinking? '03+ with the factory 235/55-17 tires (I forget the trim level). Metco control arms for the rear, ADDCO sway bars front and rear, Eaton Detroit Spring Police/Taxi 1 1/2" coils & shortened Police/Taxi KYB Gas-a-Justs all around, and a set of Z rated all seasons (Continental ExtremeContact DWS, General G-MAX AS-03, Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus, etc.) for handling. Probably swap the cams, have the heads milled & a computer tune for performance. Headers and exhaust to improve sound. I've also been kicking around the crazy idea to move the gas tank out of the trunk and under the rear floorboards along with modifying the rear suspension bridge and trunk pan to give the trunk a flat floor. I figure there's a good 5-8 cu ft. extra room there. Modify the rear seats too with hardware from a donor vehicle so they can fold down. Might work, might not. I haven't crawled all over one in a while. If you get one and want to do engine work, talk to me first. You are going about it the wrong ($$$$$$) way. I can save you a ton of money and weight.

I only say an Escape because a vehicle that size is about the biggest tow vehicle I'd ever need. Ya know, if I actually towed something on a regular basis. Although now that I think about a Crown Vic would work just as well and is a far cooler platform to customize. Personally I would ever own an escape. My parents have one and it's tiny... We have an older explorer ~2005 and we like it much more. The Sync on it too is horrid. WORST voice recognition software I've ever used. Is it 2-3 years old? If so, it has the My Ford Touch which has been a problem child for many years. If you have just the SYNC system, it's actually flawless if set up properly. I've worked on 6 family member's cars and they all had the SYNC and it was brilliant. Two others with the My Ford Touch, were just problematic.

Yes, they did that, but that's with the gain at max, so a lot of distortion, not what you want. After someone tuned the AP amp to only 1% distortion it put out less then 1000W, i can't remember well enough, but i'm even sure that it was below 800W too. Distortion on what order and how was it measured? With the smd "distortion detector?" Tube amps are said to sound "warm" and inviting. That is because they produce an order of distortion that many find pleasing. Not all orders of distortion are harsh, and some are preferred. Without know what and how the detector is detecting, it's useless. Then again it's useless anyways since if you can hear the distortion, you know you've gone too far.

Went to watch Cops tonight and ruined by the hillbilly racers. Mother fucker.

Escape is an overgrown Focus/Mazda3. The new Explorer I don't know about other than my mother's is small inside.

Then please list it for him in the classified. That is the ONLY way this is going to happen. Thanks.

Isn't the Panamera based on the Cayenne chassis? I don't see an issue with it towing if it is. It definitely has the power, so the only thing missing would be the chassis and suspension.

You need a set of gears.

Yeah, mine doesn't run at the moment, so it gets horrible mileage.

Is urs 4wd? Mines only 2 but for $1500 I can make it 4 Yes, it is.

Much better! Thanks! Mine is a Lariat too.

Post a bigger pic dammit. I like those wheels and my 99 is white too.

Your point ?? Just what I typed.
