~As much as I'd like to never drive slow... Well.. Paying for premium sucks as it is. I try to guzzle gas in a semi-conservative manner.

~IAW #23: The sounds seems to be concentrated toward the front, center. No farther back than driver's seat.. though that's almost the rear in XF terms. Even when pulling into the garage, where the sound could bounce back on the right wall, it seems to be moreso on the left. I saw previous posts about a bandit sway bar, but "everything is secure" means that's not it, or the mechanic is blind.

Noise does not occur when in reverse.

E-brake functions as is it should, as does disengagement. It's definitely working when I forget and try to reverse or drive off.

I wish to do a walk along, but haven't had the opportunity. I'd like to crouch closer to the ground, but I dunno if I trust anyone enough to not run my head over.

Last night I got wrapped around the axle in trying to improve my poor sound quality/volume. Opening the panel the amp hides under is a 13ITCH... Especially without the right metric socket. I ended up using a pliers, mirror and tasty flashlight. I didn't accomplish anything but did take pictures since I didn't see any when browsing the gallery.

Anyway, I've received previous recommendations, that I now know I probably can't implement on my own (here comes payday for Mr. Local Audio Store). But before I try, please let me know how F***d I am: I've read that the amp needs at LEAST 4 Volts to work well, and I found this from my head unit's documentation: You'llfind separate front, rear, subwoofer, and line-level RCA pre-amp outputs on theback of PD-931NB, all 2V max. Is there anyway to increase this, or combine power?

Or... am I F**d until I buy a new head unit? I hope I'm not. I've really grown to like it and have nearly memorized the button locations that hide behind it.
