XJ Ask the Question Thread
Today I was listening to my music, not too loud or anything, and my sub box started smoking. I shut it down and when I got home, I looked into it. Turns out this crossover(?) was the problem.
Here is the coil that caught on fire.



Here is what the coil is supposed to look like:

I have another sub box with the same type of crossover attached. How can I prevent this from happening again? What actually happened? Thanks!

Anyone have experience with the goodyear wrangler authority tire? Im upgrading from 235/75/15s to 31/10.5/15s and was planning on staying with all terrains. Its between bfg at, goodyear wrangler authority, or duratracs. On the other hand, dunlop radial mud rovers which are a MT, seem to be a great tire. This is going on my 98 xj which is a daily driver and only sees trails once or twice a month, however Il settle for 30-40k tread life since the look/traction is that much better. I can get the authorities for $400 (800mi on them) with ecco rims, or for $600 I can get brand new MT's. Whats your opinions?

I have been having problems with first starting up my 99 xj. There is a squeaking noise when I first start it coming from the pulleys somewhere when this happens I lose voltage down to about 11v if I turn off my heat/ fan then the squeaking stops and voltage goes back to normal. I can also rev it up which makes it squeak and grind then stop.
This started happening about a month ago. Tuesday the alternator gave up. I replace it with a new one. Problem continues but alternator seems to be working when ever the squeak isn't going on and the sound of the squeak and grind noise sounds like it is coming from the other side.
Any help is appreciated thanks.
