Did you have the paintless dent repair done?

Response:

Yes sir I did.  Well, THEY had it done. I dropped it off there because they were going to have to take out their box they built for it, and then drive it over there and have them fix it, then drive it back and then re-fit the box and reinstall it. But it was a fantastic job…… I can’t tell anything wrong with it.

Went by right after work today.  They see their mistake.  They gave me a couple of options.  1.) I can go get an estimate done on having it repaired and they would gladly foot the bill, or 2.) They know a company that works for several dealerships Which sounds to be the best bet? First of all, they are going to have to take out the enclosure and make sure the box isn’t what is causing this….. ’cause it looks like a "crease" in the body probably at the top edge of the box.  It would have to be taken out anyway for the repair. Anyone have any knowledge on this "paintless dent repair"??  Is that going to make this look worse? Tim

Tomorrow is as soon as I can. If they were open today, you can bet that I’d be up there before they opened.  I will go there directly after work tomorrow. And as for an agreement, I have not put my signature on any documents they have given me. The only thing I have is a computer generated receipt. My only wish was that I would have seen this before I left their lot (they close at 6PM monday thru saturday, and I left their lot at 6:30…. so it took longer than expected). > Mark S > Owner > SoundsExtreme

Thanks Mark Where is SoundsExtreme???  :)  I may start to do business there…. Tim

Response:

Well I told them to do their best job to get a 10" in there, but they said there wasn’t enough room when I went to go pick it up. Overall it sounds quite nice. However, when I got home, I noticed something that appalled me. Directly on the other side of the speaker (on the outside of the vehicle, not inside) there is a noticeable "bump" above where the speaker is.  Looks like they were trying to put something in there and force it, then it gave way and they shoved it into the inner-wall, making a protruding bump on the outside. So now I’m furious with them, and don’t know what to do.  This area of the vehicle is part of the main body and I wouldn’t know how to have it fixed or even if it can be fixed.  If it can be fixed, I wonder if it would do more harm than good?  However leaving it alone just irritates me ’cause it’s my first new vehicle, not even a year old, and now has a flaw in the body.  With this bump, would the paint begin to crack soon?? I took pictures with my camera…. I’d post them here but I’d probably get flamed for posting a picture (even if under 60k). Tim

Response:

From the sounds of it, you say you want deep rich full bass, I would go with the single 10 instead of the 8. The 8 is gonna give you a much tighter thump then the 10. A ten is kinda of a best of both worlds. It is much tighter then a 12 yet still provides a nice much deeper full tone then an 8.

Response:

I was getting ready to jump on it, and go and have all my factory speakers replaced in my ‘02 Explorer XLS with some new ones (probably either Pioneer or Alpine, and was considering Kenwood as well). However, a friend of mine suggested that rather than replacing the factory speakers now, why not spend the money on having a subwoofer installed in the back cargo area (as the Eddie Bauer’s and Limited’s have stock).  I didn’t have an answer as I know nothing about what would be the best "For now".  I’d like to do both but not at the same time. To get the best sound (I want a rich bass but not rumbling the walls), which would any of you get first? Thanks, Tim

Response:

Forgot to mention… I have had the head unit replaced from the original 15 watt (??) AM/FM Stereo Casette.  I have a Kenwoos Z828 MP3 CD Player that has a built-in amp for 4×47 Watts. It has Subwoofer outs, and you can configure between several types of subwoofers (varying in sizes from 8" to 12" and Type’s A, B, C, and D whatever those are). Thanks!

Response:

I have a 1995 explorer, and have 3 10" MTX 6000 subs in the back cargo area.  They are hooked up to a Pioneer 750w amp, and an Alpine 7892 head unit.  This rumbles the walls.  I know they have on www.crutchfield.com a 10" MTX 6000 w/ an amp that fits where the factory "sub" would go.  I don’t know if it would fit your car however.  Since you don’t want huge bass, I’d just go for a single woofer.  I don’t have upgraded speakers, but I’d rather have great bass. You would be surprised how much better your system will sound afterwards with a sub. I think someone in this group works at a car audio company. (mark?) They probably have good info for you. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Forgot to mention… > I have had the head unit replaced from the original 15 watt (??)

Response:

Tim, It all comes done to your prefrence.personally I would replace the 4 speakers first, by doing that you will notice a big difference in the bass response.After you have those replaced you can start picking out a sub/amp combo based on how much more bass you want.any questions feel free to ask Ps.on the kenwood deck types A,B,C,D refer to the enclosure the sub is in. Mark S Owner SoundsExtreme

Response:

Thanks for the response……. Actually, went by an Audio Store yesterday and have an appointment for next Saturday for them to install an 8" Subwoofer in the rear driver’s-side cargo net (where the factory sub would go). They asked me that if they could fit a 10" in there if I woudl want it. I said depending on how much extra…… maybe, but that’s a big maybe…. lol.  I don’t want a loud thump going on, all I want is deep rich full bass.

Hey Dude, FYI, you might also want to try the rec.audio.car newsgroup. A lot of good info can be had over there concerning car audio. Later….
