      Yes sir, P specific headers. As far as I am aware, they are the updated headers, (not the ones that like to burn spark plug wires). But I won't know for sure until I'm ready to do this. Or if I run into someone with a set of p heads that aren't in a car.

        Update! JBL Premium Sound installed. Needs a rear speaker on the left, it seems to crackle at full bass on some songs. Other than that, it sounds really good. The 3 way speakers in the deck lid really put out some bass. The amp appears to be handling all 6 speakers just fine which is perfect! Pics later, I'm tired of being out in the heat, been out in it for the past 2 days working on Matt's Grand Marquis installing a keyless entry system and digital gauges. That's all for now.

            Yes the premium sound was working before. The radio had a bad capacitor or something, because any slight difference in current came out of the speakers. You could hear the tape deck running the tape lol. Not to mention it followed engine rpm and the fuel pump. It wasn't in the amp, because with the amp disconnected, it still did it with the two rear speakers.

                I had to disconnect the door panel speakers because I was getting some sort of feedback when the radio was off. Plus the radio does what yours does, except with only one rear speaker working.

                  Strange, though you should be getting the feedback through the dash speakers as well, since they're on the wiring as the door speakers.

                  The TownCars used the same wire for two speakers rear right, and front right, a green with orange stripe wire. One has silver dots on it, but it was not noted, so I found that my right side was slightly weaker than the left, and when I faded to the back, I could still hear sound coming out of the front speakers on the right. So I swapped the two wires. The right side is now more even, and I swapped the position of the wires on the rear right speaker, so now it's not cancelling out the bass of the left rear one. I believe that everything is phased properly now, and I'm enjoying the radio even more now!

                        Well here are some updates. The disc K code rear is installed! The exhaust is done for now. I don't have the midpipes and tails I wanted yet, so right now it has Mark VII mids, flowmaster 40s, and turn downs before the axle. Pics later...

                            You should probably return all of that car audio stuff you bought seeing that you won't need it anymore LOL.

                              Don't feel like. Slymer took some pics for me while he was here.

                              Parking brake cables are hooked up, and it's working properly. Exhaust is too loud for my taste. And also for the tastes of Pottsville's finest... Flowmasters and turndowns ftl. Car really moves, I need a GPS to see if the speedometer is accurate or not.

                                In the air while you were running it the sound was very mellow. Guess everything changes when 3700lbs is on its back. lol
