  1. If these are questions you truly believe the answers will lead to rear fill, then you are exactly the person who needs to spend more time optimizing your fronts as you have the most to gain.

    but dishwashing soap? I don't think I'd want to use Cascade on my paint? Unless you mean Dawn soap? Not dishwasher, but dishwashing. Palmolive would be my choice. It is what we used for removing grease on "Do not dryclean" clothes at the Drycleaners. We tested pretty much all the soaps and Palmolive did the best on grease by a big margin. The disadvantage of course is it removes your wax along with the grease so only use it when you want to Polish and re-wax. I do the same as Ryan, but sometimes also put a superheated hot towel on top of the soap and bugs. It seems to help. I doubt you'll need to go that far though as I think our bug potential is WAY higher. *by think I mean KNOW

    <--real interested in the LED's as well. I have some circuits that don't support enough light at the moment and I can't add bulbs as pulling more power isn't acceptable. I would propose that one or both of you make a thread discussing this at homeaudioforum.net

    I love sexy black tires. I think I have used black magic a few times myself. I'd recommend not using any kind of tire shine. It causes weather cracking faster. really? Amazing I thought it protected it like armorall. Wild. I had always heard that the good tire conditioning products actually helped the rubber last... no? As long as they aren't full of petroleum distillates I'd agree. I never even thought they would put something like that in there. I'm going to read the bottle next time. It's a horribly good grease cleaner so regularly some derivation of it exists. That wouldn't be dressing, but deep cleaning and drying.

    doesnt ever really seem to slow to me, i know a major part on my side is slow dorm internet Every other thread opens about as fast as I can click, the hop takes 20sec to post

    oh this is plenty logical, I just don't feel like fucking doing it Not in comparison
  8. I don't, hard to drive from the back. Nearly tall enough though. I will say though that most people in the back ask me what speakers I have back there. As for the left & right, sure, I have my eq setup three ways. FR, FL, and balanced. 99% of the time of course I keep it in FR.
  9. thats ur opinion And if you heard a really well setup car you'd agree as well.
  10. /\ you should spend more time fixing your fronts, then when you turned on your rears you'd realize they make it sound worse.

    They buyout though would be hard to say no to at the end. The Automotive Lease Guide seems to think that in January 2013, 6 yr old (2007) M5 with only 80k miles will only be worth $20k with an original selling price of $97. I don't buy it. Would have pegged it closer to $25, especially with full service records and in immaculate condition.

    Boo, Cayenne & M5 not so in reach.

    Wow, the hop is slow. I have 5 windows open in it right now just so I can fucking respond.

    Sweet. That would actually make me listen.

    reasons? A couple although they are more than 15 years old. Turtle wax had an issue that destroyed some paint jobs and when I frequented them everyone at carshows used Meguiars that seemed to know anything. Then 3M came out and I can usually get someone to take me to the company store for wholesale goodness. Mothers wax frustrated me as well. Just didn't go on or come off as easily as I felt it should. Not an issue of effort either. In a just bought an old car detail though I do get tired, hard to go at it for 10 hours. Same reason I only wash my windows with Sparkle. Seems to streak WAY less than anything else and doesn't fuck anything up. Had issues with everything else pretty much, but again a long time ago.

    And in that era it is exactly why BMW > Merc. Until the V8's the Bm'ers were by far the most logical car I have ever worked on.

    probably, but I'm more than willing to pay 75 bucks for the stealership to find and fix the leak, especially considering how MB packaged these lines warranty ftw warranty?
  20. If your independent lab does tests like you tested the clipping light, I'd take their tests with a grain of salt.

    I use Bass Boat Saver on plastic parts in my car.

    I won't use Mothers or Turtle Wax anything on my paint.
  24. Ah, KU beat me to it. We can have fun with this though. I think perhaps you should ask him why it IS accurate and I will show you why his statement is wrong. I state what I state since I know what would go into a circuit to actually make one work and it is far from trivial. Here is another thing you can do, since it is accurate ask him how accurate. It has to have some specification of what clipping sets it off otherwise it isn't a valid threshold. Then ask him how they compute clipping. None of the answers will show that it works, that I can guarantee. This surely isn't helping how I feel about AQ.
  25. NO, you didn't read it It was shizzon trying to say it was accurate but his test method was asinine. They are far from accurate. It is not a trivial circuit to design if you truly want them to be right. Not surprising though considering.
