What did you do with your Thunderbird Today?

[supergordo]

Took my younger sons Green Tbird out. Finally got the smog test. So he can register. I drove around blasting Van Halen for 2 hours last night. We built a really nice sound system so it sounds real nice! The cars power is impressive. Fun as hell to drive! I always forget how much I like these cars. I drive my E350 all the time.

What kind of sound system did you put in the T-Bird? I mean, to listen to Van Halen for 2 hours, that care must have an awesome sound system.

Drove it to town hall and paid my property tax on the house.

Has an Alpine deck. JL audio speakers, 4 channel 1000w amp running the four speakers. And a small JBL powered subwoofer that does a nice job.

Have to appreciate the use of quality equipment. I guess I need to upgrade my K-Mart speakers and Walmart head unit some day...

In fairness you don’t need the greatest sound system to listen to VH, that music was meant to be paired with a nice EXHAUST system

Got the valve cover gaskets in today, question how come the grommets look totally different? I tried putting the new ones in on the PI valve covers and there ain’t no way them bitches are fitting.

From what I read on TCCOA, the valve covers are different which is why the new 97 gaskets do not fit the new PI heads. Can put the NPI valve covers on the PI heads?? Or do I have to order PI valve cover gaskets??

As long as they’re not Windsor PI heads you can reuse your stock valve covers no problem

For what it is worth. The speakers are the highest quality part of this system. The Alpine deck is a bluetooth capable unit but old enough that it has a CD player. I had a customer abandon a car on me about 10 years ago until her finance company repossessed it. So I took the stereo... The amp we bought from amazon for like $300??? It's not a major brand. And the JBL powered sub has a 10" speaker and its thin and compact. It adds a nice amount of low end without thudding. Think my sons investment in total is under $1000. But it sounds nice, it gets loud. And doesn't really distort until you really push it.

Thanks for the feedback. You were lucky to pick up the JL speakers, they are not cheap, at least the ones that sound good. Well, when I win the lottery, I might upgrade.
