Really they are not bad. The newer chevy's are actually nice too. Go pick on a new Impala SS with 350 v8....lol. Or the new Pontiac G6 GTP, 240 hp out of a 3.9 v6. On my Beretta, it has almost 103,000 miles. No major problems. There are the usual things, tires, oil etc. Biggest problems I...

Dunno all of it, but I would get that fixed. My mom had a 2000 monte carlo ss and it started doing the popping from the front end and you oculd like feel it in the wheel a little I think. I believe they ended up replacing the steering rack. Bad news was though that the other one started...

I agree with that. Even though I am a newb as well, I know going from my stock tape deck with am/fm to even the lowly deh 1500 made a big difference. Like I got better bass and everything. I was actually looking online, because I thought about upgrading my head unit. On crutchfield, you can...

There is a good website, http://www.newegg.com, if you look on there, they sell all types of computer stuff. The water cooling thing, you might need a water block. If you are interested though, they might have that kind of stuff.

Well, if you are sure it's heat, I would say wrap the duct in the insulation, not the head unit. Because my thinking is that the insulation holds heat in. Like you notice for with a lot of electronic units, look at tops of computer monitors, etc. Most anything electronic has slits or vents of...

P.S. On the component setup that's the thing, I am not sure how long I will keep the car. I don't want to sink money into it, then lose the $$, or get something for Christmas and have someone else lose the $$. I like the car, but it's just a base, no tach or anything, though I wonder if I...

Ok thanks guys. I had looked at Infinity Kappas. I am thinking about upgrading later on, but the price and performance on the Pioneers looked good too, so I was thinking about those. My dad has done audio for a while, but he has not done a whole lot of car audio, some but says he does not...

Ok, so I am a noob, but I was looking at some Pioneer speakers for my 1995 Chevy Beretta. The fronts use 4x6, the back takes 6x9. So I found some Pioneers, the ones in the back would fit if I used the aftermarket grilles. But the guy said the ones I wanted for the front were "top mount...

Oh one more thing, I asked my dad about that, if there was something you could do. He said that he does not think a heating system would run that hot, and if it did, it would burn you. He's worked on cars and things before, he used to be a bigger car buy back with the older muscle cars in the...

Could he perhaps wrap the ducting of the heating system in some kind of thin insulation? I know my dad is in contracting, and sometimes that is done with water pipes to hold heat in and stop them from freezing. I don't know if you would like start a fire or something though. Maybe see if you...

Definitely check the junkyards. I know like I have a 95 Beretta, and my driver's side seat ripped. Kinda stunk. So I went to a local yard around here, found some seats out of a Beretta z 26 in decent shape, needed slight repair and cleaning, but got both fronts for 75 bucks. Took a couple...

I was actually looking around in crutchfield, have you checked out the Pioneer deh 3700? I think it's like 130-140, but has the cd/mp3 options with Satellite radio controls. Dvd's I did not look for that. But on the other things, I kind of also liked the Pioneer deh 4700, with the flip down...

By the way, I did look on ebay for infinity components, ok so I'm sold on infinity, those came stock with tweeters in my mom's 02 mitsubishi diamante, and sounds awesome. But I am not sure which size to get. From the research I have done, my front speakers stock were 4x6, so I believe they...

Oh keep in mind, I am a little new to this. Like dad and I installed head unit, but I have not torn into my speaker setup or installed anything like that, though it should not be a big deal. But just kind of keep that in mind, that I am a noob and am really just wanting to best deal for the...

Ok, well I will have to remember to post in speakers then, maybe a mod can move it? Also, on the components, that would be nice, but the car did not come with any, so I am unsure how hard it would be to hook them up as there is no stock location to mount them. Anyone have any thoughts?
