OK. SO I JUST PUT A NEW AMP ROCKFORD FOSGATE 1050S AND Rockford Fosgate Power HX2 RFR3112 12" Dual 2-ohm Voice Coil SUBS AND A KOLE 2.5 FARAD CAPACITOR (ABOUT $ 1500). IT SOUNDS REALLY WELL (OFF COURSE AFTER ADDING DYNOMAT TO THE WHOLE TRUNK AND MODIFYING SOME OF THE TRUNK LOCK, BECAUSE OF THE ANNOYING RATTLING). I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS:
FIRST - I STILL HAVE THE FACTORY BOSE SYSTEM RUNNING WITH THE FACTORY SPEAKERS, NOT TO WEAK BUT NOT POWERFULL ENOUGH. IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN CHANGE THE CD PLAYER AND SPEAKERS WITHOUT LOSING MY NAVIGATION SYSTEM, ALSO FACTORY?
SECOND - THIS TRUNK SYSTEM HAS ALMOST 200 LB, AND NOW THE CAR REALLY LOOKS UGLY WITH A REALLY LOWERED REAR AND A REALLY HIGH FRONT. I'M THINKING ABOUT GETTING LOWERING SPRINGS FOR THE FRONT TO COMPENSATE THE REAR. CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THAT'S A GOOD IDEA OR NOT???
THANKS GUYS

 

Ouch ...my eyes again.

 

First thing... easy on the CAPS. Makes it hard to read and on the internet it comes across as shouting

Second - You should not lower just the front b/c that will upset the handling of your car (different spring rates, etc.). The best thing to do would be to buy the Comptech springs for your car. The Comptech springs have a natural rake to them.. where the rear of the car sits higher then the front. With your system it will bring the rear down and you will have an almost perfectly even drop!

 

sorry about the caps, I didn't know.

the problem is that right now my car is about 4"front and 2.5" rear and if I put both front and rear springs the car will be like 2.25"front and 1"25 rear . it still will look like is going to take off.
now if I put only the front 2.25" front and 2.5" rear would look a lot better. if so, where can I buy only the front springs? cause everywhere they only sell by set of 4.
thanks

 

you sure you have 4 in the front?...with my stock spring sand my system...i have 3inches in the front and 2inches in the back...looks like mines heavier ...even so...comptech i think would be a good choice for you...it will help even it out even if its not perfect....

 

my system now weights 50 lbs but I'm upgrading to a 200 lbs one what will make the situation even worst.
any ideas where can I buy only the front springs instead of the whole set?

 

you can see from the picture that the car is high on the front.

 

i had the same problem when i did my system. What happens is that the stock springs on the car are soft and bouncy, and the weight makes them sink a lot bring the front up because they flex. When i got the lowering springs, the car was still very even with the H&R Sports on it. The aftermarket lowering springs are have a firmer rate and wont bounce or flex as much. And if you are not looking to loose the stock rie height and quality but get a little firmer to keep it leveled, look into the H&R OE;s they only drop.75 all around and maintain almost everything about your stock car.

 

I was wondering, how does your care handle corners with the sub in the trunk? That added weight should offset that 60/40 distribution? Does it just make the cornering worse?

 

I don't know how the car felt without the subs , because I put the subs right when I bought the car. Now, I think is not too good in high speed cornering.
