Well, my old battery is gone...I wasnt getting enough juice and my dash lights were flickering like crazy on the bass note !

Solution ?

I installed a brand new Optima battery ! Direct fit into my crx . As soon as I played the music, I got 100x better signal ! It is much louder and crisper than before ! No more dash lights flickering ! Before I used to play the volume at 26, now I get the same volume at 20. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Next on the list is my 140amp alternator. Right now I only have a 14 year old 60amp alternator...


cheers

Rob, why are u comparing that to my crx? i like crx if its ugly or not. CRX is CRX.
