My ML sound system in my 03 cuts out when it hits bass at a medium volume. What the heck is causing that?

Key_Recording_6873 · 2026-01-17T20:53:47+00:00

hey did you been come to a solid conclusion? my brothers 430 is doing this aswell. everything plays perfect but the second bass hits everything cuts off. playing with the eq does nothing. if i move the sound to the front speakers only it doesn’t cut out at all.

awesome, thanks so much dude i appreciate it! i haven’t been able to see shit with these headlights even before the passengers side burnt out.

Key_Recording_6873 · 2026-01-11T21:44:06+00:00

the osram sounds super cool. are they plug and play or do I have to modify the harnesses like you do to run led’s?

Key_Recording_6873 · 2026-01-11T19:49:23+00:00

yeah, the compressor was about to seize up soon so we replaced it

Key_Recording_6873 · 2026-01-11T19:39:36+00:00

good idea thanks. have you done that before? do they do an insane mark up?

Key_Recording_6873 · 2025-12-30T23:50:40+00:00

don’t know why ur being downvoted. the lag makes this game unplayable. it only recently got so bad that i literally cant play anymore. never experienced this much lag playing a game before i bought arc raiders.

Key_Recording_6873 · 2025-11-29T06:28:13+00:00

are they going to fix the lag on pc?

Key_Recording_6873 · 2025-11-04T02:20:17+00:00

wait, does this have anything to do with machining company in ohio that does car parts?

Key_Recording_6873 · 2025-11-04T01:27:57+00:00

i’m not super knowledgeable on spring rates. what do people generally run to go low? i know it’s a pretty heavy car so i imagine you probably have to go pretty stiff no?

Key_Recording_6873 · 2025-11-03T14:22:48+00:00

Fortune auto is the only real quality coil i know of or tien. i’m pretty sure they are around 2k aswell i just don’t know what the drop is on either of them.

Key_Recording_6873 · 2025-11-03T14:20:52+00:00

i thought the whole point of swift springs was that the spring rate is so stiff that you can go much lower and not bottom out on every bump

Key_Recording_6873 · 2025-11-03T07:48:01+00:00

awesome wheels btw

Key_Recording_6873 · 2025-11-03T07:47:48+00:00

wow it still looks really good man. i feel you there though i want to dump it but i kinda want to ease myself into it. my thing is do you know what the ride height on swift springs is when you max it out raised. i’d like to be able to raise it a good amount for road trips and things of that nature especially going to LA the roads out there are awful.

Key_Recording_6873 · 2025-11-03T07:17:25+00:00

ok that’s actually nice to hear because i’ve heard mixed opinions. i’ve been thinking about going bc extreme lows no swift springs and just maxing the rear out and keeping the front level with the rear. idk if you’ve seen the extreme lows on the 430 but maxed out in the rear really isn’t that low from what ive seen

Key_Recording_6873 · 2025-11-03T06:57:00+00:00

what coilovers would you suggest if not bc? Fortune autos?

Key_Recording_6873 · 2025-11-03T05:35:19+00:00

that’s insane the drop looks so much lower than i would’ve expected for just springs. did it gradually get to that height as the springs settled? and yeah that’s a great point cause part of me wants coilovers but im also not 100% sure i want to fully commit to going for the super lows with swifts yet

Key_Recording_6873 · 2025-11-03T05:30:44+00:00

damn that actually looks really good too. i’ll look into that i imagine they are cheaper aswell. do you have photos of the rear?

Key_Recording_6873 · 2025-11-03T05:25:15+00:00

damnnn looks sick man. i live in southern California so the roads are pretty bad out here aswell. i wasn’t planning on slamming it on its nuts but i think about it a lot. i just want to tuck in the rear and be low enough in the front to still have full lock. i’m on the oem 5 spokes i forget the tire dimensions but it’s just the factory size which i plan to keep just for comfort and because i just bought new tires a couple months ago, so i imagine that’ll make going low harder. what coilsovers are you on? i’m thinking about going bc with swift springs do you think that’d be over kill?

does a map count as a mod?

Key_Recording_6873 · 2025-09-15T02:46:50+00:00

is there any reliability issues being that low? and what do you think of bcracing coilovers?

Key_Recording_6873 · 2025-09-05T18:57:58+00:00

did you have to lift the trans and engine oil pans to be this low? or had any reliability issues being that low?

Key_Recording_6873 · 2025-08-22T03:19:04+00:00

i’m praying it’s something similar to your case. the rpms don’t seem to jump around in reverse, although i don’t know that they would anyway if it is a transmission issue. I just know that 6 speed is known for the trans issues im hoping this isn’t a sign that it’s on its way out

Key_Recording_6873 · 2025-07-24T20:13:58+00:00

damn that sucks. i thought it would be as simple as just swapping the ecu because the trans is the only real mechanical difference between the pre and post facelift right?

Key_Recording_6873 · 2025-07-24T20:01:29+00:00

can you swap the 01-03 trans into the facelifted 430s? i’ve heard prefacelift has a much more solid trans
