Hey Onboost, whats the sound like? Also got a couple of questions for you lol, did you just replace the premo amp with your ugrade... no new power lines or anything? And what kind of line out converter did you use?

Hey thanks for the reply So far ive managed to source 4 jbl 5"7"'s at 75 RMS speakers, and im looking at 2 12" jbl 300 RMS subs which im planning to build a custom box for under the parcel shelf in the boot, following some great posts ive found on in this forum. Alot of people on here have also said they had trouble getting a decent signal from the ICC to the amp, so I was wondering if I could use the existing signal hooked up to the stock Premo amp when I replace it... or I need to invest in a lineout converter? Amp choices.... No idea lol, is it better to slightly underpower or overpower with the RMS rating? any suggestions for make or model (keeping in mind im not made of money lol) Cheers

Hi guys, just wondering if I could get some advice on boosting up my sound system. I have the standard Premo sound at the moment, but im looking to change out all 4 5"7"'s for better ones and add 2 12" subs to the boot. If I replace the standard amp can I plug it into existing wiring, or will I need one of these lineout converter units, and re-wire my whole car? Also with amp choices, would you reccomend seperate units, 1 for subs and 1 for speakers... or would one big amp do the whole job better? Any advice would be great

Thanks for your ideas so far, I was hoping to get a list of possibles to take to my mechanic next time as he cant seem to find anything wrong with it. Our06t: The power loss is massive, I doubt I would be able to splutter my way to 40kph. Having the throttle body cleaned is a good idea, will try that. xr6 typhoon: Actually bought it from a toyota dealership, and they stuffed me around so badly when I took it in the first time to have this problem checked I threw out the dealership warranty that came with the car. Have had it plugged in by a ford specialist and he couldnt find anything. Iconic Bionic: No mods yet, have been thinking about it but not willing to waste money on a lemon\ any more ideas would be great

Hi Did changing the plugs fix your problem?... I think ive got something similiar occuring

Sure no problem, didnt mean to be vague. So far its happened 4 times since ive had the car, once cruising western ring at 100km, car was warm, twice regular driving for about 30 mins, and this morning cold after 10 mins. I doubt a "cruise home" mode would make me loose breaking power either. There are no additional lights or warning indicators showing anywhere, the car is not overheating or boosting. Re-starting the car does not change the problem, only revving the car up to 4 or 5k revs seems to do the trick Ive had the cpu checked for error logs and tuning problems to no avail. Thanks for your reply by the way, im currently at a loss for what do to and after almost rear ending the car in front this morning when it happened im a bit dubious about driving at all

Hi Everyone, im a new member on here. had my XR6T since late last year, BA 2002 auto. every so often my car decides to weird out on me... sounds like ive put on a 20inch muffler, I lose power and breaks. Usually I can fix this by putting the car in park and revving the crap out of it, seems to blow through some how. Had my mechanic check it 3 times so far, and the jefferson ford guys. They have no idea, just wondering if anyone else has experience anything like it?
