    P38 harmon kardon stereo dilema no more :)

    reason i took the amps out is so i could run an aftermarket unit on the harmon kardon setup. once the amps were powered without the std unit plugged in, a constant buzzing noise was there, so out they came and cross overs in. is yours the harmon kardon? alpine or clairon unit?

    there isnt too much grip on ice

    snow and ice isnt an issue. use your gears to slow you down and allow plenty stopping distance. ive not had any brown trouser moments stopping, just tow down on a corner, go sideways ever so well for a big motor, lol
