Thanks guys, it sounds as good as it looks. I have a few rattles to work out in the panels and amp rack, but that's to be expected. But other than that it plays pretty damn loud. I'm really impressed with the amplified Kappa door speakers, talk about sound quality.

They are off of a 2004 Crown Vic Police Interceptor. Sandblasted and painted. They have the same bolt pattern and hub diameter at the X rims, but they have a higher offset, so it looks a little bit wider.

Crrid, looks good. Are those 16's? And it looks like you re used your stock xls center caps?

And I think you meant a lower offset

2004 Explorer with 39k miles? I'm jealous.

Oh I definitely have fun with people. And then there's the people who dont even notice me and do some stupid stuff, like come up to a red light stop and take off like it was a stop sign instead of a stop light. Sometimes I wonder how people even got their drivers license haha
