I'd love to do audio in my car but I am broke after all the suspension and Five AD kit I am still waiting to get installed. I've always been partial to Infinity, and JBL speakers. Hell if Klipsch made car speakers I would be all over those.

@Alexm_09 @Jyn @FR-S Matt ( @trevorovert you live just down the street from me so we can connect any time)
I would love to do a @oemaudioplus demo for everyone curious in Austin. It'd be better at a smaller meet than a cars and coffee but we can do it at cars and coffee if that's the desire. I started a project with travel every week (leave on Monday, return Friday night) so I haven't gone to Cars and Coffee since January as I've been treasuring my weekends, and sleeping in, when I'm back in Austin. A key to these demo's is bringing songs you know and love on CD (not streaming Bluetooth or plugged in via the Aux jack). OEMAudioPlus gave me a demo CD but I can't seem to find it but I still think its better with your own CD. If someone has CDs with frequency sweeps I can bring a sound meter - all my frequency sweeps are on DVD for home theater. I won't go full into my thoughts on the OEM Audio+ sound quality because its somewhat subjective so its better if you hear for yourself. Is it better than stock? Absolutely no question. Is it well made? very much so - high quality connectors, speakers, and a beautiful sub box if you get the painted version - all of which "plug and play" with stock. The only non-reversible thing you do to stock is cutting a hole in one spot in the carpet in the trunk to run wires. Does OEMAudio+ as a company have good customer service? Yes, they were very helpful and extremely responsive.

To the red FRS (invidia exhaust and SSR wheels) that I saw today in my Grey BRZ, thanks for the invite to Harris Hill! Does anybody have any details about when the next meetup may be?

Woooo I finally got under my car and found the source of my rattle. Turns out it was not an exhaust leak at all, even though I did check all my gaskets, but rather some freaking non-structural tabs that ARK seems to use when doing the main welds on the resonator.
Seems they just uses weak welds on these things and both tabs had a weld break on one side, so the damn things were rattling at certain RPMs. Crazy. IDK. Just wanted to throw some info out there for anyone with ARK cat-back exhausts. Those little thin plates on the resonator may snap off Yeah this is also why I was looking at the OEM Audio+ kit. Clears that rear strut. Plus I can have the housing painted. IDK. It seems like an all around amazing package deal... but I would probably buy the OFT300 kit from OpenFlash before I do that |

So, I spent the last 5 hours working on mounting an amp from the bottom of the rear deck. I got a good solution, worked great with no creaks while driving or anything.
Except I didn't like how it looked. Took me another hour to take it out. Working under the rear deck is a serious pain. I would not recommend trying to mount an amp up in the space under the rear deck. there just isn't enough space, and I was basically forcing it to work. Decided to temporarily mount the amp on top of the sub until I fiberglass a sub. Will mount amp on the fiberglass.

So I thought I would be smart and clean my intake filter before setting off on a road trip tomorrow.... what would be the best way for me to facilitate the drying of an oiled air filter so that I can go ahead and oil up the filter and put it back in? I have it sitting on a wash cloth on my patio as the air outside seems drier than the air in my apartment, but I am weary of letting dust settle into it...

! Good Night Everyone !
Focals + Infinity is a good combination that I went with in my Tacoma. Having those clear crisp highs with some nice punchy lows was something of a treat to listen to each time I drove to work + I never had a sub-woofer and it did not matter with those speakers. Are you gt86 people meeting up anytime soon |

well weather looks iffy this weekend, but the parents are in town for my 30th (ugh) so probably take my dad out to the special cars and coffee to go oogle some of the cars. Hoping he gets to see a 2002tii since he had one when he was my age. Potentially see some of you out there.
