Yeah that is sweet. The full use of trunk was my main focus...got chiren' ya know. Got to put them toys somewhere. yeah mine was about 420 (no Pun intended Wyatt). That was including the speakers (subs), custom install including deck molding the rear roof wing and installed my remote start with keyless entry. I couldnt go wrong, but I have to say my cousin hooked me up since he rolls all old school with 'Las Ayates' they have killer body shops, installers and paint men. When I told him how simple I wanted it he laughed and almost didnt take my business, then he said that it wouldnt take him but 2 days to do it all. He didnt charge me much because I have seen what they do and for my setup it was childs play to him.

sergio has a nice setup when i saw it at the meet, but too bad we couldn't hear it cause someone broke into his car and stole the stereo.

hah no big deal
I dont care you guys can continue your discussion

I just was wondering if anyone noticed
lol

it was $79.99 from pepboys reg. price is $99.99

includes sub, amp, wires, etc..
+$10.80 because my friend who installed it(who has JL's) bought me better wire to make it louder apparently. I'm new at this but after helping I think I would now be able to help other people wire a sub through a stock radio

See... wiring it in isn't so bad after all. It's easier to tap the stock line levels then it is to run new signal cables from the head unit because running new cabling requires more disassembly (you don't want to run the signal on the same side of the car as the power as the power may induce current into the signal wire and create all sorts of annoying noises so suddenly you have both sides of the car ripped apart).

Rock those 10s a while and let us know when you're ready for more... it'll come at a cost of course (I paid 10x what you paid for my first setup + new rear speakers but I probably overpaid) but it'll go a long ways!

^nice set up... where do you keep your spair?

I was in best buy today and they had the dual 10' inclosed woofers, they sounded pretty nice... Better then the Rocford FG they had, But the fosgates were pretty done, they were rattling and everything.
