Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

that honestly sucks so bad. it just had to be his car too. but i honestly don't think the driver of the explorer shouldn't have brake checked him, since there was nobody in front of her.

apparently the front doors of my van come with woofers, provided you already don't have the factory subwoofer. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_136C5570CW/JL-Audio-C5-570cw.html?tp=70205

yeah it does, and unfortunately, depending on state laws, It's his fault no matter why she braked.

in california, i believe rear ending someone is your fault automatically. but he's got full coverage so i'm sure he can still get it fixed under insurance, or it might not, since it might not be how it works.

looks like the g20 5 series marks the return of the 540i badge since its discontinuation with the e39. http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/first-drives/reviews/a31763/2017-bmw-540i-first-drive/ though i'm not that happy the 540i doesn't have a v8 like it always had.

The woofer is just the larger speaker that makes lower frequencies. Different than a sub-woofer, which makes frequencies lower than a woofer.

 

Like headphones, they don't have subs, the frequencies are made by full-range frequency "woofers". If you had a factory sub, you'd still have the woofers.

That's actually a really standard price.

ah, ok. i've always thought subwoofer and woofer were interchangeable for some reason, like 4wd and awd.

 

and not really. look at all these http://www.crutchfield.com/g_520/All-Component-Subwoofers.html#&nvpair=FFBrand|Alpine

not the 540i, but the 550i should have a v8. and if the m5 doesn't have a v8, then all hell will break loose.
