What’s the impedance on the 6.5s and the Bose woofers?CaleDeRoo wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 12:15 pm I'm thinking about trying to mount two of the C5 Bose woofers in the rear shelf of the s4 to replace the 6.5" ones that are in there now. If anybody here happens to have any that are just sitting around I'd be willing to pay for them + shipping before giving somebody else my money.

Because the C5 woofers are actually really effective, and wouldn't hang any lower than the smaller ones already in the S4. They have built in amps, wouldn't take up trunk space, have the correct impedance, and would be a cheap experiment.D Griff wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 1:22 pmCaleDeRoo wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 12:15 pm I'm thinking about trying to mount two of the C5 Bose woofers in the rear shelf of the s4 to replace the 6.5" ones that are in there now.

Should be a experiment.
The Blose system actually does sound pretty good, IMO. I got a $100 Kenwood BT head unit and added it to the stock system and it is at all, better than any other car I've had other than my Civic which I on the sound system.

Yeah the C5 Bose system was fine as long as nothing was blown out and you had a decent source.

FM sounded terrible (worse than usual), but a CD sounded fantastic.

Just ordered another set of Falken Azenis RT615K tires for the +20 in width (275/40/17).
THese served me really well for track/street so I figured why not go for them round two rather than roll the dice. Plus, the price is

They ended up being pretty cool. He put it up on the lift and was just like, you may hit these brake ducts if you hit a bump hard while turning. I was like, it's cool , I want the

Been running my 315 square setup for over a year. No signs of it rubbing or being too much. It's like it was engineered for that size. Offset would be the only thing that would throw it off.
I’ve seen many people run wider so I’m not concerned. But I’m also not mad about the techs doing their due diligence.

Actually rather that they cared enough to check.

He gave me a set of Michelin all seasons with a bit of mileage left to give True bro, right there.
I will get them mounted on my stock and have something for winter/road trip use. I'm debating just and not doing TPMS in those wheels as I will probably only use them like 12 weeks/year.

I dunno, to me TPMS is more important on road tires than track tires.D Griff wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 10:18 am He gave me a set of Michelin all seasons with a bit of mileage left to give True bro, right there.

Track tires you check the pressure regularly, but road tires? The advanced warning of a leak would be nice on a road trip.

Eh, it's nice to see temps while pitting in off track to see what was gained and stuff. Also, the "track tires" will be on the car 80% of the time. I should probably just on a set for bothDetroit wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 10:31 amI dunno, to me TPMS is more important on road tires than track tires.D Griff wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 10:18 am He gave me a set of Michelin all seasons with a bit of mileage left to give True bro, right there.

They're pricey fuckers, so I get it.
