Introduction
Pontiac Grand Prix -- 2004 Review: What's better? A juicy, piping hot, made-to-order Double Double topped with crunchy iceberg lettuce and grilled onions, or a greasy Big Mac slathered in special sauce that's been sitting under the heat lamps for too long and sticks to the roof of your mouth when you chew?
Like the vast selection of fast-food burger joints in North America, the midsize sport sedan landscape is littered with choices; some tasty and some not. When spending between $20,000 and $30,000 on a fun-to-drive four-door that can carry two pairs of adults, contenders run the gamut from the raw and rorty Dodge Neon SRT-4 to the plush and spacious Nissan Maxima 3.5SL.

In an effort to lure consumers looking for a little bit of driving excitement to Pontiac showrooms in 2004, General Motors has ordered a substantial upgrade to the Grand Prix, the company's most popular entrant in the speedy family sedan segment. The previous version, which debuted in 1997, had gone seven years without significant modification, rendering it an also-ran in the heated competition for consumer consideration.
However, GM wished not to expend more capital than necessary to bring the GP up to snuff, so the company cribbed a play from the Toyota rulebook: the basic platform and powertrains of the old model were kept, structural reinforcements were added, a new skin was penned and a redesigned interior was installed.

Deck out your Dodge with Custom Subwoofer Enclosures
Big booming sound unfortunately does not quite describe the stock stereo system on a Dodge Ram, Dodge Dakota, or Dodge SUV. Although the sound system might be a decent one, or even good when splurging for the premium stock system, the manufacturer leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to big and booming sound. Buying a good amplifier and sub woofer for your new truck can give you the big bass sound that you want when rolling down the road.
Make your Mazda Sing with Enclosed Subwoofers
Whether you?re a fan of rock music, rap, country, blues, or even classical, the stereo system in your Mazda is a vital part of your listening experience. By owning a Mazda3, Mazda5 or even Mazda RX-8 you get the benefit of having a decent stock system built into the car. However, only by adding a subwoofer will you truly receive the best sound possible in your Mazda. Even the Bose stock system that comes with the MX-5 Miata lacks the low end that many be desired when it comes to the listening experience. A subwoofer will give depth and complete sound to the system, thus allowing you to hear things that you wouldn?t have before.
