Hey guys,

was wondering if anyone recommends a place that could wire my 10" subwoofer and amp for a good price, and professionally, or should I just have bestbuy do it?

How professional do you want it? I know some pretty good installers. It just depends on how crazy you wanna go.

I've had a great experience with earmark. But ONLY the one in ADDISON. The one in Plano is just about as good as car toys or best buy.

I'll definitely look into them because I was also planning on installing a viper 5704 system soon, thanks.

Well i'm sure its going to be a pretty straight forward installation, but I was someone that knows exactly what they're doing and you can trust.

And that was my problem: the nut fell off. Long story short, I couldn't steer and it made a loud ass grinding noise and the little teeth on the shaft so the shop admitted fault and fixed it with new parts (power steering pump and shaft etc) and new power steering fluid and for my trouble they are doing a transmission drain and fill free of charge.

Nelson was close regarding the power steering pump lol.

I actually had a hunch it had something to do with power steering but I wasn't sure. Plus it was already dark out.

I'm afraid I can't help you there....


BUT, I pulled out my cars today



Unfortunately, I only have six MicroMachines...

Since a few of them are specimens similar to this "Big, Bad, Beautiful Buick"...

....I rummaged through a Toys 'R Us for some replacements.



I bought a '70 GTO, Aston Martin DBS, LP 570-4 Superleggera, and a "+350 HP" Civic...



I bought some sidewalk chalk too!!
