Well jeez, Turt...didn't mean to be a dick about it! I just didn't understand what you were getting at!
Sorry bro.
Meks...I only like the single arm rear camber kit that adjusts from above, I bailed on the 2 arm lower kits long ago.

^You asshole!
I teared up when I finally saw your car lowered. There was almost as much anticipation as Tyler's coilover install. Glad I could help, even if it was indirectly. It's only a matter of time before you put the threads ALL the way down.

I didn't take it personally but sometimes its hard to explain it in words or it doesn't read right. But MEKO respond back and explained it.

^^^ from what I have read and experienced, the OEM speakers are just fine (excluding the sub), you just need a better amp to power them....
the minute I took my headunit out and added a processor and my phone as the input, the music quality has gotten sooo much better....

Yeah, I tested them both left/right...stock was ok, had more deep sound, but new one was much clear, so I installed it + to have an tweeter back there too
I can't replace the amp...not many 6 channels out there and expensive
I am not looking for something crazy anyway
I want DIY for this

No idea what are you talking about

^^^ you need a 5 channel amp and a solo amp for the sub....thats the most popular route which everyone takes 
Let me put together a little write up for ya....
again if you decide to keep the stock radio, am not sure how it will work for you since the processor (or preamp) had an input/aux input and had outputs for 4 speakers and 2 subs (so I connected 1 to sub and 1 to center channel)....
for the input I just use a 3.5mm audio cable which plugs into my phone....I have an aux cable sitting in the glove box, just incase the wifey wants to jam to her tunes

Dammit, "o" and "t" are not even close on the keyboard so I could make up an excuse 
You have stock intake? Yuck and you got J-Pipe for better flow
Get in some air in there first
I guess I'll just leave it alone

This audio thing is too complicated...
Me no understand haha

I dread the day ill have to start replacing speakers and Nav. I hate messing with audio stuff. I used to build custom sub boxes, but never did a single install. Not my thing. And its funny because I work for an electrical contractor as a project engineer

hahah yup....stay away from them RCA's if you gonna strip them....
now if you get an aftermarket amp and headunit, RCA's FTW
but I like the oomph that the stock sound system packs....enough for a DD IMO

Yeah same here.. + I convert my files in to 5.1 lossless quality as well and rip them do DVD-A
Hell of a difference.
I guess that's should be the first recommendation for our system, because you won't look more after listening to DVD-A
Anil,
I have to order the inner bolts for the camber and toe
Left ones on the picture
Are they using same bolts?

BOLT, RR. CONTROL ARM ADJUSTING
Product ID: 52387-SDA-A00
PLATE, CAM
Product ID: 52388-SDA-A00
NUT, RR. ARM (LOWER) (10MM)
Product ID: 90216-SE0-010
If I order 4 of each ^^^ is that all? For both passenger and driver side
Are we using same bolts? Because I can't find any more bolts on this picture (see the link)
http://www.oemacuraparts.com/parts-c...rear-lower-arm
I PMed Bruce but not online yet... I might just grab these from Acura here and install tomorrow

Finally at home
I was busy moving today
And since yesterday we saw 85+ degrees outside
Go away go away that's enough
Did you guys know as in average, Boston only passes 90 for 12 days
So 3 days is gone
1/4 of summer is done
It's easy... but that inner side is a pain in the ass
I'll take pics tomorrow
I texted you but I'll say again
No I didn't receive any
Thanks for the part numbers dude
Showed it to dealer and will pick up them tomorrow morning
I don't like to see the rear tires clean on the outside edges, I think that's bad
Shit!! That made me laugh hahahahahah
Oh my God
I heard something is going on in Istanbul but had nooooo time to check the news
Actually it's a long story.
You burn files to DVD-A is one thing
You could turn mp3 files in to 5.1 Audio is another thing
HD Audio Solo Ultra, is for burning DVD-A
-Throw mp3 files in there
-Select all
-Sampling rate: Output...make it 192
-Bits: Output...make it 24
You will see that 4GB DVD will fill up with 20 songs, because of the size of the files will get bigger
Normal quality takes in like 60 songs in to DVD
Then you click export, and then write
That's going to give it an amazing sound.
I mean I just can't listen to normal CDs anymore...they are not clear to my ear
-------------------------------
You don't have 5.1 though
For surround
I use dBpoweramp Music Converter
Donwload it
Go to the mp3 file, right click
Click convert to.
Will open the program
This screen will come up

On the top, convert to Wave
For bit and khz, click DVD one
Also on the right, click 5.1 surround
and then convert to a Folder.
Now you take that file and burn it with HD Audio solo
WITHOUT changing any sampling rate numbers or bit rates...
You won't be able to anyways, because it will not let you
Quality is at it's best anyway
When I convert to 5.1, I delete the files after I burned them to DVD
Because, one 5.1 music file is like 600mb
----------------------------
Did I notice a lot of difference between
Converting to top quality lossless 5.1 surround and burning
or
Taking the mp3 to burning softwate and making the sampling rate to 192 and bits to 24
???
Both comes to exactly same amount of files in to one DVD-A
like 20 songs for a CD
I am guessing size becomes same
I am not sure about the quality. I tried both but meh couldn't exactly notice the difference but I think sub was better...may be
Converter
http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm
Burner (first one on the top)
http://www.cirlinca.com/download.htm
For burner, you have 5 burning trials. No more
Have to buy it for $70
Try it and see the difference
Take the mp3 file, right click, convert to wave (select DVD for all options)
Go to burner, add them in, insert DVD-R, don't need to change any settings....click export, then click write
Takes time...at the end doesn't pop out the cd
On the bottom left, it says "CD is not writeable"
Meaning that burning is done
I used memorex dvd but TL didn't play it
I don't remmeber if it was DVD+R
but I think it has to be DVD-R
This is what I use

I hope I was clear, please zach try it and let me know what you think
tweeder, I tried them..ones from adobeman's, I think converting to wave worked but couldn't figure out burning to DVD
Not sure what quality it converts to wave also...I don't know I feel better with this software
-----------------
Edit:
I'll say this too
Forget converting
What if I just throw in the mp3 files to burner, and don't bump up the
-Sampling rate: Output...make it 192
-Bits: Output...make it 24
just keep it as it is so DVD takes like 60 songs
How big of a difference is the quality?
Pretty much difference
but still better than CD...with lowest quality
Sometimes it's not great to bump up those number. Might screw the quality
but with converting them to wave...you are safe
How can it screw the quality?
If you bump up an old old old song that is like I don't know 80 kbps...then it might not sound great
Mp3 files we have right now is like 192 anyway...so bump it up
nooooooo
Convert it and burn it
Use that 5.1

thanks meko, you were very clear! 
I am really just dying to try the 5.1 in the TL, the sample DVD-a that came with the car was meh (I didn't really know any of the songs); and I wasn't planning on spending 70 bucks on a DVD-a of the beatles concert.
I'll definitely try this... 5 trials is more than enough
