It says its a 1000 watts right on the amp, but when u look at the details it say it can be used as a bridging amp and it will have the max power at 1000. T...

Dragging brake

The front side passengers brake is dragging. It makes a rubbing noise when im driving. Also the inside brake pad is almost gone but the outside still has half the pad left. The noise goes away instantly when when i push on the brakes. What could cause this?

Re: any spark plug guru's

U should use the copper ones instead of platinum. Copper conducts more electricty. It would be different if u had a hotrod engine or sumthin that was hotter and would just melt the copper ones. I noticed a considerable difference in my engine running between the copper and platinum plugs.

They told me it was a 2.5 and i read under the hood that it was a 2.5, there is a chance that i could be mistaken, but i am almost positive. But thats besides the fact, will the fact that the coolant is low cause bubbles in the overflow or is that only caused by a blown headgasket? I couldnt get the...

Re: RUNNING LIKE SHIT!

Did u reset the computer after u fixed those. The computer could still be set at the old readings and still runing like crap. Try reseting it if u haven't. Maybe also the coolant temp sensor isnt working like it should.
