would you want to trade up to the Uberturbines? I have MYP coming in this weekend and would trade to the Gemini. Im in LA

You will need to cut the wires if are putting in an amp and upgrading the speakers. You cant have the MCU speakers wires feeding the speakers at the same time as your new amp. I spliced into the front kick panel speaker wires. You do not need to get behind the MCU. There are a lot of wires...

There is no good reason to try to shoehorn the UHFS into a non-UHFS car. If you have the light harmonics already, just add in an aftermarket 4 channel amp. I haven's spent much time with the UHFS but a decent aftermarket amp will be way better. I added a 12 inch sub box first and then later...

$13,000 seems like too much govt money to pass up.

Also look into a JL audio box/amp. i think a 12 inch would fit in the lower trunk section.

@bigdave79 - I am assuming that the sub is wired so that the front left speaker level output from the MCU is branched with a y connector to both inputs of the sub amp, or if not it is a mono amp. if that is the case it probably will not make much of a difference to wire the other channel as...

Ill just add to this that i recently repurposed the front door speaker brackets to mount the mids from a pair of Infinity Kappa 60CSX. They went in the bracket perfectly with a bit of scraping and cutting of the bracket and i used epoxy to secure them. The infinity tweeters went in the OEM...

Ok, they probably will not work on mine which is a facelift car. Too bad, you dont see snows in SoCal for resale too often

are you certain you have the old TPSM? is your vin lower than P50900?

A BMW M3 guy will be much happier with a 75D than an 85.

To the OP, your title was asking for the best model and year to buy and the real answer is the most expensive and newest one. If you want to add best bang for the buck so value is a qualification, the consensus here is it's a 75D or maybe a new M3. But if you want an EV for for $30k and also...

Figuring out if an S can be uncorked or not is more art than science because of the running changes that Tesla makes continually. For sure if you buy from Tesla and it lists 4.2 0-60, it is uncorked. You can also go with the VIN number and people are saying 130xxx and up can be uncorked but...

You didnt really provide enough info for a good recommendation, especially how much range you need. It is also hard to know if you are coming from a Tesla model 3 or a BMW M3. Personally I think the sweet spot is a facelift 75D with AP1 that has been or can be uncorked. it will be faster than...

do you still have these?

A 300 mile, 4 1/2 hour one way trip from the city to the ski resort at 8,000 feet seems like a common enough use case. I wouldn't want to try that with less than 500 miles of range.
