Not a problem around here lol some kid bought a spinner rim watch and chain just to say he had it. I'll sell these to him easy.

yep. it sure is now I have to figure out a color to paint my truck :P

[noturday]

Black!

When I had my 85 Tran Am it had all Pioneer speakers but the ones under the dash board, I didn't want to rip it out to install new ones. The total system price for it was 650 bucks. It had 4 6x9s, 2 5x8s, and 1 450 watt pioneer sub in the trunk powered by a 600 watt amp. It got wet alot, bad seals on the trunk hatch, and still played great bass I highly recommend pioneer for all their electronics. I went to Eclipse in my Focus after the factory six disc died in it after I got mad at it for eating my AC/DC cd and punched the player. It had it coming the **** thing skipped even on new CDs

Naw, have you ever painted anything black after body work? Black is THEE worst color to paint if your body work is anything but perfect. shows every flaw, I know because i wanted to paint it black and I was told not to because it would show bodywork easily.

Looks nice just need to hide the wires and get a Pioneer radio so that you can control your amp from your radio.

my sony amp is coming with the remote that goes under the dash. And the power cables on the front have to be in the open, i can't get the door sil off theres too much rust on the screws. but I am going to tighten it up so it looks sharp.

EDIT: HAHA just noticed you quoted me jizzle :P Nice!

Lol yea what you said means a HUGE difference. What are you subs? I have 2 12 inche MTXs and i push about 700 through each one even tho they are only rated at 500 and they handle pretty good. Get a picture of your whole car.

I couldnt have that down here in Mississippi because they have a new law called "Turn it Down or Pay up". I already got a warning and if they get me again I will get a 1000$ fine so it sucks for me and circuit city lol losen there buisness.

[xmodificationer]

[texan_idiot25]

Rust? Go buy some 3M penetraiting lube, and maybe a small set of craftsman striped screw head bits. No screw is too rusty after those things.

Trust me, Im working on a 38 year old truck... I know what a rusty screw is

[xmodsnut]

you should have put carpet to match the cars carpet on that box and also used MDF board for the box. other than that it looks ok.

That's still not acceptable for hacking it together.

It's not hacked together... I'm doing the best i can with such little space i have
the box is so big theres only enough room to put the seet back and thats is, and the amp is so big it barely fits on top the box and theres no room behind so i have to do what i can with what i got.
