we just got our first snow fall here in annapolis and talk about a blast, got like 3-5 inches and omg is it fun to do awd doughnuts!, drifting around, i wish i got some pics, i love S4's!, also, where can i get a new passenger side speaker? mine is on its way out, its for a 2000

 

hahahah Now just do axis spins in the summer. all the fun of snow drifting but you get to make loud squealing and smoke hahahah

As for speakers.... dont waste your time with factory, they suck and are made out of paper will eventually rot away anyways.... Just grab a pair of speakers at liek ciruit city or best buy for $50-100 a pair. they usually charge liek 30-40 per a pair to have installed also.

 

k, what size are they? looks like 5 or 5.5 or something

 

just got to do my first ever AWD donuts as well last week and I was thrilled too... the fiancee... well, she was less then thrilled:

*makes left hand turn*

Her: Where are we going?

Me: Oh, just a little detour

Her: Riiight... what are you up to?

Me: Nothing *turns into empty mall parking lot*

Her: ohhhh no.



*2 minutes later*



Her:Stop, Or im going to gag all over your white leather seats.

Me: okay, fine.

 

Yeah, we have had a couple snow storms here in Wisconsin, and its great, when you pop that back end out around a corner you can control the drift so easily. Especially drifting around a cul-de-sac. And since i don't have traction control, it makes it that much better.

 

not that i'm a car stereo wiz anymore, but I used to be, and BOSE speakers are like 1/4 ohm, and regular car speakers are 4 ohm... I thought you had to stick with the bose speakers or get an aftermarket amp to drive the new speakers...

 

im not a car audio expert either but i agree i thought i remembered that there were some shenanigans when getting new speakers.

Im trying something new this year...Im at college so im just keeping my S out of the snow and tucked in a garage untill may. Saving thousands on insurance and gas so hopefully by june ill be stage 3- and july will bring fueling

 

I hope you told your insurance company that you would be parking the car, and actually kept SOME sort of insurance, just absolute minimums... otherwise you might be in for a surprise when you say ... "I would like to sign up for insurance", and agent says, "previous coverage?", and you mention, "I don't have insurance right now",and give you a rate of a 16 year old with a Ferrari..!

Seen it happen to a lady in her 40’s who moved out of NYC and was paying $3000 a year and I’m only paying $600.

Good Luck…

 

Im insured with multiple companies. In NH i cant legally have my drivers license and be uninsured. I just cut coverage for that car. If something happens to it i have to pay for it out of pocket. Well actually something did happen to it, but the other guy is paying haha

I used to pay almost $4500 on my old company, then i moved and got it to about $3000. 18yo, 2 tickets, no accidents

 

Snow does rock. Anyone without allwheel drive hates it but there is nothing better then drifting around in it. I am putting whole new stereo in my car (getting some components for christmas) and I am not sure how they measure the resistance of the speakers but by just hooking up an ohm meter to the unplugged front speaker I was reading around 1.4 ohms. They are about a 3.5" speaker in bottom and I guess you need a special adapter to put regular size in cause bose size is a bit different. You could throw any speaker in there but you probably won't hear them anymore.
