Hey Everyone. We started Saturday afternoon and worked from 4 until' 1:30 Sunday morning. Then woke up at 8:30 and finished about 6 sunday afternoon. With the help of a few good friends and a lot of helping hands this project was a success. The only thing thats not finished is the ring around the subwoofer itself but thats an easy and cheap fix. Let me tell you that it sounds clean as hell and bumps at my command. I wasn't looking for a heavy-htting system, just a nice clean install with some bump to gain those extra points at car shows. Feedback is welcome, positive or negative, let me know what you guys think. I'll get some higher quality shots up later tonight.

That's ridiculous honestly - it's his car and if he wants it to be a show winner that's his prerogative.

he said he liked the way it turned out, but he also said the reason that he did it was he wanted to get more points at shows. its simply a matter that u should build your car how u want it, not how u think judges at a show want. it's as simple as that.
