Here are some more information for Rear Trunk:

All cars have their own unique type of car speaker installation issues although installing speakers is a relatively simple process. Most speaker installations can be finished in about an hour or less. The intricacy of the installation will vary depending on the vehicle. And again, depending on the vehicle, speakers may be installed in the dash, doors, or rear deck.

Most importantly, remember that safety should be considered when installing speakers. Damage can be caused by not installing speakers properly - this can impose added cost and even possible injury. Protection for hearing/vision should be used as necessary.

Here are fundamental steps to consider for installing speakers. Remember, some vehicles may require extra steps. Although the location of the speakers in your vehicle may vary from the mounting locations noted here, the method should be comparable.

For installation of dash and door speakers, you will need to ascertain if the vehicle has speaker grilles that are removable. If they can be removed, take the grilles off utilizing the appropriate tools, remove the screws holding the speaker in, disconnect the speaker harness that was attached to the speaker, connect the speaker harness to the new speaker, plug the speaker harness which is connected to the new speaker to the harness in the car, set the speaker in the opening and reinstall it using the screws for mounting, replace the grille and repeat with the other speaker. If installing speakers in the door, make certain the depth of the speaker will not interfere with the window operation after installation.

If the grilles cannot be removed, the dash pads or possibly the door panel will have to be removed. Be sure to keep an eye on any screws/clips removed should this be the case. Next follow the same steps shown above except you will need to reinstall the dash pads/door panel. If removing the door panel, be aware that screws can be mounted in the armrest or inside the door latch space and may be behind the trim panels. After all the screws are removed from the panel, raise it up so you can disconnect any wiring harnesses.

If installing rear deck speakers, you must determine if the speakers are top-mounted or bottom-mounted as this will determine your steps. If top-mounted, remove the grilles, remove the screws holding the speaker in, disconnect the speaker harness, connect the harness to the new speaker, plug in the harness connected to the speaker to the vehicle side of the harness, place the new speaker in the opening and mount with the screws, replace the grille and repeat with the other speaker.

If the speakers are bottom-mounted, reach in the trunk and remove the screws mounting the speaker. Then follow the same basic steps as above.

Eventually, you'd have to turn on the radio and check the operation of the new speakers.

CheapThule 962XT Speedway 3-Bike Trunk Rack

'04 Honda Civic SI (hatchback) - Thule 962XT Speedway 3-Bike

This is an excellent bike rack but the hatchback design for the newer hatchback SI leaves some improvements to be desired for the trunk mount. The top and bottom hooks are secure but the ones mounted near the rear brake lights (as shown in the Thule example) seem to slide down as the car hits bumps in the road. This loosens the mount and it begins to bounce more as you ride. There are no sharp corners to adequately hold the side hooks so I am looking to add something (tape or closed cell foam) to prevent slipping. Secondly, my mountain bike design does not fit well on the rack. I have to rest the rear suspension spring on the bike rack arm so the weight is not evenly distributed. This could be another element causing the side hooks to slip. Either way, it's an excellent bike rack aside from the design issues with my hatchback Civic SI and Iron Horse mountain bike.

World Class Bike Rack

I go to a lot of big road bike events and ride road bikes several thousand miles a year. I looked at a lot of other racks at events and talked to the people were using them. This is one of the the most sturdy, stable and well detailed racks available. The robust rubber stays and guides keep the bikes securely positioned and protected. If you are going to put very expensive road bikes on a car rack, you can afford the best rack.

Excellent Quality

I purchased this rack for my daughter's Hyundai Santa Fe. The quality is excellent and fit well on the Santa Fe. She said that it performed well, holding the bike securely while moving to Boston from Alabama. After seeing the quality of this product I plan to purchase another one for use on my Toyota Prius.

=======================================================================

Solid rack

No problem in using it. Easy to install in general. In the beginning I bought the roof type of rack but it turned out difficult for me to put the bike on. This one is pretty convenient for occasional (weekends) trip.

=======================================================================

Does it fit or not???

OK - So I'm researching about buying this bike rack. I just happen to own an Audi A4 Wagon and the picture on the listing here at Amazon and other sites actually show the rack mounted to an A4 wagon. But when you look at the installation directions for the rack it says that you shouldn't use the rack on an A4 wagon because there's no safe place to secure the top straps. What??????

======================================================================

Poor Design

We ordered this rack to carry two adult Trek bikes and a youth mountian bike. First, there's almost no way to carry three bikes on this rack without incurring damage to the bike frames or spokes. Once could possibly partially diassemble the bikes and accomodate three bikes but that sort of defeats the purpose. Secondly, this is not a stable unit. Loaded with three bikes the rack tends to pull away from the vehicle (Toyota SUV) even with the straps conced tightly enough to flex the rack's frame. Even more troubling is the fact that the arms of the rack are secured with only two cheap spring-loaded pins which hold them into a plastic housing. On our rack, it was possible with just a little effort to jiggle and torque the arms enough to dislodge the pins. On the road that would result in the loss of all the bikes. This is a poor design ... save yourself the effort of a return.

whats a cheap and easy way to increase traction for a jetta? sandbags in the trunk?deflating the rear tires?

my friend has a jetta and and lives in a place with real icy conditions. shes afraid to drive cuz of so much ice. whats the cheapest and easiest way to increase her traction? sandbags in the trunk? deflating the rear tires a bit? can anyone think of anything else that would work well?

The Jetta is front-wheel drive.

If you're looking to increase "traction" (which I'm taking to mean the ability to take off, turn the car, or brake) you'd have to do something to add weight to the front wheels, not the rears.

If you're looking for better straight line stability and to reduce fishtailing once underway, then adding weight to the rear may help. Keep in mind that he more weight you add to the rear, the less weight will be on the front (drive) axle. As a result, adding weight to the rear will make the car HARDER to get going from a stop, to turn on the ice, or to stop in a straight line, not easier.

Adding sandbags to the trunks of older cars worked because the "older cars" were rear-wheel-drive, not front. Therefore people were adding weight to the drive wheels.

As far as tire pressures go it's probably best just to stick to the recommended pressures listed in the door jamb, but if you are determined to fiddle with them it's better to run HIGHER pressure in snow and ice rather than lower pressure for better traction in ice/snow. Increasing tire pressure makes their contact patch smaller, which in turn means the tires are pressing on the road with more pressure (weight of the car is unchanged but the contact patch between tire and road is reduced, increasing pounds per square inch of car through the tires' contact patch.).
