    Issue with installing power windows.

    Might be the draw on the motor if its slow going up as described then I would bet that the motor is struggling drawing high current (making it hot) Try lubing the track and making sure that the regulator is working under lighter load see how hot they get.

    ss stereo

    they are fine for testing fuses and what not, if you are testing computer components then yes you need a good one not the el cheapo brands. I have been in the autotech world for 16 years professionally now and a heavy equipment tech for over 6 now so I would not say frowned upon as much as they...

    ss stereo

    You are going to have to get a test light to properly test fuses, they are cheap and easy to use, check it with that first then get back to us, you definately have a blown fuse.

    installing power door locks

    Remove the door sills and run all wires along the factory harness to the front of the car, if you have a remote start installed already then its pretty straightforward all you need is a add on power lock module like a directed 451m or a commando alarms power lock module. You wire all the locks...

    lol, I just installed the system in my 99 civic and surprisingly it does not rattle to bad with the 2 10" in the back. I needed something for the road noise it was bad with the studded winter tires.

    Remote start installation help

    has the remote start module verified that the signal from the key fob is working correctly? Also you did not mention if you are using the bypass modules for the factory passlock antitheft system.

    Change Speakers - Stock Head Unit

    lol, thats what I did for my wifes mazda tribute, the jvc deck made it sounds 10x better than the stock radio and she is still rocking those, I would gladly trade my clarions and the alpine deck for a better setup, its the first time I was really let down with an alpine decks sound quality.

    Change Speakers - Stock Head Unit

    I would not nesecarily say that aftermarket speakers are not as good as stock, it depends entirely on the setup and wheter or not they are going to be amplified or not. Sound quality can vary widely with the application being used, if they are non amplified then stock works fine with an...

    Avital 4111 Remote Starter

    You will have to use a bypass for the factory passlock system, if memory serves they require 2 bypasses or one of the factory keys, I recommend the bypasses though as because if you use a key then the car is that much easier to steal.

    Cobalt lt pioneer stereo, i want to add a new head until...help

    if the amp is small enough you can mount it to the bottom of the rear deck then hide the wiring behind the panelling and carpet if it does not fit in the sub compartment area, it will give a clean look as at first glance you will not even see the amp or wiring.

    Have you adjusted the equalizer on the new deck yet? If not try turning up the bass setting on it see if that helps.

    Cobalt lt pioneer stereo, i want to add a new head until...help

    The reason you have no sound is that you have the pioneer sound system more than likely, the factory amp runs off a data signal to turn it on. The speaker colour codes are; 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt Supercharged with Pioneer Audio Car Radio Stereo Wiring Diagram Car Radio Battery Constant 12v+...

    Cobalt lt pioneer stereo, i want to add a new head until...help

    the pioneer one should have tweeters in the a pillars or a factory sub and there usually is a branding indicating that its pioneer. If you have the basic then you should get away with the cheaper harness. The one you have may have the incorrect pinout which may be cause of the loss of gauges and...

    Is this a good deal?

    upgrade the wiring while your at it, charge wire, chassis ground and engine ground, that makes a massive difference in the longevity of an alternator and battery when wiring in heavier sound systems.

    do you have the base sound system or the pioneer sound system k9lawdog? I can not seem to locate that metra part number at all, the base sound system can get away with the cheap adapter you just need to add the acc wire with a busman bp/hhh fusetap, the pioneer sound system uses the more...

    wiring after market stereo

    Use a pac tr7 to bypass that annoying safety crap where with the brake and park brake wire. also you will need to use the more expensive harness as the amp runs off the can bus system so you are going to have to eat the cost of it. I have verified this on all 2010s, but not the 2008 models. Use...

    High end amp

    emperor is correct in that you have an entry level setup, If I were you I would be looking to a decent dual voice coilover setup if you are looking for a compact setup or opt for a better single voice coilover setup, I am running a single 12" alpine type s in my car which sounds pretty decent...

    High end amp

    yeah 250 for a high end amp is pretty low, even a used one. try to find a mono amp to power the subs D class preferably. What you are going to want to look for is the rms rating of the amp, try to find something rated at 300-500 watts rms to power them.
