  1. Just installed a RetroSound Quad 4 amp. I connected it to a RetroSound Malibu radio. Had to get creative on where to put the amp, I ended up making brackets and put it behind the passenger side dash panel just above the A/C unit. The unit is fantastic, really brought radio to life. I put Tweeters in the old dash speaker frame, and have 4 x 6 speakers in the kick panel / vents with 6 x 9.in the trap door (previously cut before I got it). Also a hats off to Dan at Chocko Stang on the box rebuild, he did an excellent job and much less than a aftermarket replacement. About a 5 day turnaround.


  2. I am on my second Retrosound unit. The Model 1 was great but upgraded to a Malibu unit. Sound is great, looks and fit are second to none. Will pass easily for a Factory radio. As an added bonus the Bluetooth is like a new car. Adding a retrosound Quad 4 amp over the winter. Retrosound stuff is hard to beat. Crutchfield will deal on radio and has amp on sale for $139 and free shipping!


  3. I have dealt with USAA where I work. They were the most difficult insurance company to deal with. Their insured hit a large light pole, sheared the concrete base off flush with the ground, light pole landed on top of car, they rolled the pole off the car and left the scene. Police found car at local motel. The light was less than a year old, took forever for them to return calls, ended up fixing with our own funds. When they finally contacted me they wanted to reimburse us at half at what the repair cost. The repair was done by a contractor, I has no say on what they charged. The finally paid after six months. The local states attorney had to get it resolved. I would contemplate hiring an attorney.


  4. This is where I bought mine a while back, Fastlane Speed and Rod Shop. I think they were around $1250 for all four and he included lug nuts and nice valve stems. They shot me the best price at the time. I do know that the factory Magnum 500 lug nuts wont work with these wheels. The shop is located close to the American Racing factory. Took a little over 4 weeks to get them.

  5. No, I had the 2004 Mach 1's on there with 5.75" bs with the 1" billet spacers and had no issues so I went back with the 4.75" bs and have more room on the upper ball joint than I had with the Mach 1 wheels. Actually the clamp on wheel weights rubbed the ball joint slightly with the Mach 1 wheels. I also have a space saver spare tire and wheel that fits with a 1" spacer and would clear 13" brakes if anyone is interested.
