Anyone kinda near me?

Anyone kinda near me?
Just curious,... but is there anyone living close to me? I'm in the Clarksville,TN area. {currently in Iraq until late Feb,..} but when I get back I'm thinking of getting some folks together for some "brainstorming" on ideas for the P5. I have a 2002 Red P5. My current mods are:
1> double-layer tip hi-flow sport muffler {it's letter "G" in this one advertisement.}
2> drop-in K&N air filter.
3> Bosch platinum 2point spark plugs
4> a 3' red neon tube under the flip-up trunk thingie
5> banana clips wired to the trunk light for the light
6> cool-chrome tint {LOOKS SWEET}
& when I get back plan to get:
1> red cold-air intake
2> red lightweight aluminum crankshaft pulley
3> Carbon Fiber look gauge bezel from www.speedhut.com
4> Carbon Fiber taillights from www.matrixracing.com
5> maybe an amp & single sub. I may just change the door speakers.
Does anyone know WHAT the door speakers are anyhow? & How to get the doors apart without wrecking them?
I'm available at my e-mail address as well: germanwolf@charter.net

Re: Anyone kinda near me?
i know im not exactly near you, but maybe i can help you with your mod decisions....
please pull this off, i beg you. i think you would look so much more classy without this thing
good choice!
if i were you, i would pass on that, ive seen plenty of P5s running around with those carbfibers, and i think theyre nasty! but, if you have your heart set on them, by all means......
this one i am not so sure..... i dont have a P5 nor do i know anyone who has one, so i cant be certain. however, my best guess is that the fronts are 6.5", the rear doors are 6.5", and the back back speakers are 6X9".
not sure of that one yet either. the door panels should be easy enough to remove, but if you are unsure about it, have your local audio shop do it. spending a little labor money now is better than spending A LOT of parts and labor money later.

Front speakers are 6X8"
rear door speakers are 5.25". With a little trimming of the rain guard they can hold 6.5" speakers. I'm going to add a 6X8 woofer only front speaker fro bass and allow the factory tweeter to handle highs for the front and then get a nice high dollar pair of 6.5" 2-ways for my rear doors. No sub. I want my car to make a good sound while not taking up any of the space Ilove so much!!

To: SilverBulletLX; thanks for the "luck" etc.
To: Roddimus Prime; Heh,.. I LOVE Transformers too. My mom lives in the Huntsville, Alabama area. I hope when I return you & I can meet there maybe so we can personally share "pointers" I'm highly curious about the larger speakers you talked about.
I know of a place in my town where I can score a pair of "High Definition" Cerwin Vega 100watt 6.5" speakers that are FANTASTIC!
My wife's '93 Honda Prelude has a $150 Aiwa stereo, front 180watta 2-way {cause of the windows} Pioneer 6.5", & the rear are the Cerwin Vega 100watt 6.5". & Her car sounds FABULOUS! But I suspect it has a lot to do with great accoustics too.
Here's a link to pictures of my car, I haven't posted a pic of the muffler yet.
The 3' tube light does actually look nice, you would be suprised.

Roddimus:
I forgot to add, if you wish you may contact me through my e-mail germanwolf@charter.net. I can get to it from here. My 1/2 brother lives at home, he's 16, but has a '95 Honda Civic that's SWEET! He & his friends have their own club & go to shows,... they may have more hookups for us from NOPI.

Germanwolf, cool! My brother lives in Huntsville. He works for Lockheed Martin. I go up that way every now and then. I also have a 95 Civic sedan that I've been building up. It's currently for sael right now if you think any of his buddies may want it. It's got just about every bolt-on you can imagine. There's a few more mods I can make for a little extra money, but I quit putting money into it when I bought my MSP and now my P5. I'll include a pic of it. If you think he'll like it have him email me or PM on here....

Kewl,.. you could e-mail him yourself chadmer@knology.net His name is Chad ~Duh!~ lol.... He's cool,.. they might be interested. Drop him an e-mail & tell him you're a friend of mine {Jim} from this club. Ask him for his web page,.. they have a lot of their cars posted there,... he's kinda busy with a new job, so be pateint for a response.
Chad's Honda is the dark silverish/gold colored one,.. it's actually a chamelian gold/silver. He says the picture doesn't do the car justice,.. I'm sure that's true.
