Hello!

ProTouring442 · 9th March 2006, 12:39 AM

Well, I'm Bill and I'm from Frederick Maryland. I LOVE good clean sound! I've never built any audio equipment myself, though I am a bit of a do-it-yourself type, hence the Protouring442 name. I am in the process of building a 72 442 convertible. Lots of fun and too much money!

My home system is a Sansui AU-D9 integrated amp with a Heathkit EQ and ESS AMT3 Rock Monitors, but with replacement woofers and mids. The replacement speakers were just chosen for their ability to fit in the holes, though I have to admit that they seemed to improve the sound quite a bit. Really tightened the bass up... Wish I knew why!

So, that's me... I hope to learn alot here, so please don't mock my ignorance!

Hi Bill,
Welcome!

442's are fun, fun, fun! The "A" pillars seem to come straight for your head on that year. Cool car!

I think you'll find answers to most of your questions here. Unfortunately what follows are - .... - more questions!

Hi Bill and welcome to the forums. Lots of good people here, a diy haven if you will.

Shiny side up? What happens if you don't have a shiny side?

I like to think of it as rubber side down.
