Installed new speakers, amp, and sub. The sub is only a 5.25 Pioneer, but it adds to the low end!

Man that sucks. Tried doing a modification to your entrance to make it low-friendly? Maybe a more permanent solution than the 4x4

Detailed the car today. Spent too much time clay barring and ran out of sunlight right after waxing the hood

With 86fest being tomorrow and me having all weekend off work, I had to do something special today.

I already had the OEM Audio+ 400 kit, but it honestly was just not cutting it.

I had 2 12"s and an amp laying around. I decided to ditch my spare tire and build a box. I went over to where some industrial shops leave free wood, metal, etc and picked up a one inch thick tabletop. Went to an audio shop and spent $40 for carpet and an amp wiring kit. A few hours later I have this!

The amp is hidden under the box. Overall VERY clean install, not a single wire to be found! The factory trunk mat sits over everything and the OEM Audio+ 400 kits still fits perfect. By the looks of it, you would NOT know there is anything hidden underneath. It is exactly the same as it was before.

Currently pushing 600 RMS split between the 2 subs. Will be ordering some nice subs and a more powerful amp this week, hoping for 2k RMS.

Installed my Perrin cat-back exhaust. With only the rear jacked up on stands - it was a tight space to work in , and it's not perfectly aligned so ill take it to someone who's done it before. I love the sound, there's just a bit more bass. I have the resonated, and by the sound of it, prefer it to the unresonated. I like hearing both the engine and exhaust when driving.

don't take it to anyone get underneath and just align it. you only have to loosen the bolts the whole cb doesn't need to be taken off. just enough so you can tighten things back up after it is aligned to what you like.start the car and check for any leaks by running your hand an inch or so around where the gaskets are.

but seriously, it's a pita once you've installed a cb then the tips are not lined up correctly.
