how does this audio set up sound for a 72 cutlass?

I am planning on getting a pioneer priemer DEH-P690UB cd player. for the head unit or getting a kenwood KDC-MP735U cd player. As for the speakers I am planning on getting two 6.5 pioneer priemer TS-A642P’s 280 watts and for the rear 6×9 pioneer TS-A6992R’s 460 watts. I am planning on making a custom box that would fit two 12" subwoofers in the very back of the trunk right behind the back seat facing the back seat and putting plexi glass to cover it up. I am planning on getting infinity kappa’s. and I was goin to get two amps to support the power dont know what kind yet. Will this set up work or will I need an extra amp or something to hook it all up. Any advice will be greatly appreciated on this set up. and if you think I sould change anything please tell me.

Legal help with used car purchase?

I bought a used lincoln navigator from a used car dealer in my town. I put my truck up for collateral. I made one payment and expect my income tax in a few days and will pay the navigator off. That was the deal we made. Well first he told me there was a 3rd row seat folded down under the big fancy speakers that someone installed. Looked like it was there. Well when I moved the speakers a few weeks later there’s no seat there. I asked him about it and he said I didn’t think there was one there. Go to a junk yard. I’m like that’s the reason I bought it to fit 8 people.also one of the seatbelts won’t buckle making it un safe for one of my 2 children who sit back there in the car seats. Also the night I got it the dash board lights went out. Then a week later my taillights went out. Then my headlights went out. Then one day it wouldn’t start and when I took the key out it then started on its own. Sometime it turns off when I stop. The brake tag is expired and the tint is too dark and lights don’t work to get a new one. All the time since day one I keep going to him saying u need to fix this. He says I will then when I go back he’s out of town. Its like he’s only here 2 days a week. He had is personal mechanic look at it and the man said there was a wire shorting out that couldve caught fire and looked some more and said everything just about has been changed around and is done poorly. He also said that it shouldn’t have been sold to me and that I should give it back. So I told the dealer what his mechanic said and he got mad saying his mechanic shouldn’t have told me that and should have just checked the headlights and he didn’t know anything. So I said well I don’t want this car. He said hey y have u kept it for 2 months? I said I have repeatly told u to fix it and I asked him to put me in a different vechile. And I told him he keeps going out of town. So he said go home and come back tomorrow and ill let u borrow a vechile and get yours fixed. I said just let me use my truck and he said I can’t I have a lean on it. I originally bought the truck from him 3 years ago with no problems. So I was expecting this. What can I do? I’m not sure what all was hidden in the fine print. But I’m wondering if I can break this deal and get my truck back legally? I only had this navigator for around 60 days. Also was it illegal for him to sell me something with the seatbelt not working and expired breaktag?also without the vehicle being able to get one with the tent so dark? Is that a loophole for me? I have a 100 percent warranty for 6 months but I know since a lot of parts or aftermarket it probally wont cover it all. Also he says someone normal would have went and paid the 60 dollars to have it put on a diagnosis machine. But I’m like hey I’m paying 7200 dollars I shouldn’t have to pay 60 dollars for that. Also his mechanic told me today the man chewed him out and said he shouldn’t tell customers anything and just tell him and let him tell what he wants. The mechanic said I told him hey that man has babies and his families life is in danger with that car and he has a right to know. What can I do?please any advice? I worked to jobs for 8 yrs 12-15 hour days and finally bought something nice(supposely) and I’m getting raped.

How can I remove glass from my car back speakers?

My car’s back windshield was broken and glass when everywhere in the car. There are a bunch of glass in my back speakers and I can’t get it out. I have tired vaccuming it but it doesn’t work. I try finding out where the screws that connect my speaker but unforunately it’s underneath the plastic cover in my back seats. I can’t play any music in my car and it’s driving me nuts. I have a 03′ Toyota Corolla, if anyone could help me that would be awesome!!

What type of box should I use for my subwoofers?

I have a quad cab dodge ram(4door) and I bought some boxes for under the seats, but the subs won’t fit because they have a cage-like thing around the magnet. So now I’m going to just get a regular box and put it on the seat(less people I have to haul around).
I already have a box, it is like the one in the picture. It has a plexi-glass covering and 4 port-holes, I’ll be honest. It sounds like crap. My friend has a regular box, like the other one in the picture(pretend the port isn’t there) and his sounds really good. My speakers are better than his, he has regular grade kickers and I have really nice Infinity’s. Which box would you reccomend for a clean crisp sound. I don’t want all the echoing of the bass and rattling my whole truck. I just want it to hit really hard on every type of beat there is.

Is there something i can buy to cover the back speakers in my trunk so they dont rip from my subwoofers?

I have a 2005 pontiac grand am with 2 12 inch subs in the trunk. When the subs hit the pressure in the trunk is making the back speakers flex way tomuch and they will eventually probably rip as a result. I know that they sell speaker baffels to put over the back of them but i dont think they will hold up because they are only foam. I have heard to fold my back seats down but they dont fold down. Is there some kind of box i can buy to isolate them from the trunk? I have in the mean time faded my music to the front speakers but it does not sound as good. I dont mind if it will decrease the performance or bass response from the back speakers as I have the subs formy bass. They are stock 6×9′s.

84 Honda CRX?

I have an 84 Honda CRX in pristine condition. There is nothing wrong with it. The engine is in great shape as well as all the other components. The body is stock. However, I do have after market 2" exhaust pipes and performance muffler and Nex-O TS8 8 spoke gunmetal rims with low pros on them. I’m the second owner of this car and it has been very well taken care of. The interior has a little wear in it and is mostly stock besides the seat covers and the deck and speakers.
Has brand new paint job painted back to original white and silver 2-tone.

I was wondering how much this little car would be worth if I attempted to sell it.

How do I remove the rear speakers in a 97 Plymouth Breeze?

I am not afraid to get my hands dirty but I don’t have a clue where to begin. The speakers are top mounted and there is a carpeted panel covering over them. In order to change them I have to remove this. I hear people say take out the back seat but where the heck does I start. For those unfamiliar with the 97 Plymouth breeze it is basically the same thing as a 97 dodge stratus. If I do get them out can I remount them underneath so I can avoid this if I ever need to change them again?

Ways to fix up our 2000 Chrysler LHS…?

My fiance and I had to trade in my old car for a bigger vehicle because we believed my Saturn was too small for our almost 1 year old, especially taking into consideration trips and such. We are financing the Chrysler and my fiance’s birthday is coming up in October. The car has some outside body damage (some scratches, key scratches) but other than that is fine. We do not believe the person who owned it before us took care of it. The inside speaker covers fell off (front speakers are also blown), the dash board is cracked, the steering wheel is rubbing off, the inside leather seats don’t look black anymore and neither do the inside parts of the car (more like dark greyish now). How do I go about getting the leather seats and inside parts like the dash board back to the color they were. Is there any type of specific paint that could be rubbed on without having to take the car completely apart?
