    Cool. I like a nice stereo in a car but only when it isnt just a box and amp tossed in to roll around like I see alot of times. When done right it looks good and sounds good. Keep the progress pics coming. If you need any ideas or motivation you cancheck out my trunk, one of the nicest Ive seen but Im a little biased. lol.

    Do you think these two speakers will weigh the car down a lot?I put in my JL Audio W7 10" in my trunk and I averaged 7 miles per gallon as opposed to before I got like 11 or 12 miles per gallon..I have a 302

    I don't think it will make that big of a difference...? The box only ways about 60 pounds with the speakers in it. I hope it will give me some more traction therefore making it faster at the racetrack :)

    I really wonder why I'm gettin poor gas mileage now then..I am going to take out the speaker and see if that helps..Or maybe it could be something with my spark plug wires that I just recently replaced?

    It probably has alot to do with the type of music your playing... I tend to drive alot faster when listening to faster pace music..
