    LMAO Look what this dumb@$$ did...

    as far back as 1991 Lexus (toyota) has made one of the most impressive v-8's to ever be produced. 400k miles lifespan on 70% or better of all ever made. Just shy of 300 HP. completely non-interferance. People snap timing belts on them and just throw a new one on and keep driving. Ask Stephen.

    H.I.D. Kits are now ILLEGAL and BANNED in the United States.

    If you read the links (not trying to be a smart ass) you'd see that the ban was on non-filament bulbs. H.I.D.'s are just as such. they actually creatively created the law specifically to eliminate aftermarket H.I.D.'s.

    SPL BRAGGING RIGHTS

    the key word here was "I" for the other 8 million people that spend their hard earned money on a system that suites THEIR needs, i would assume all is well spent. Thank god for different tastes and styles.

    Finished off the wood

    there is something intriguing about the black center and woodgrain wheel..... perhaps i'd be even more happy if the wood didnt wrap so much of the wheel, but hell i like it !! The only thing better would be a nice clean thin wrap of wood that didn't exactly go into the inner handle area, but...

    Look at me glow

    white looks good on ANYTHING because it is so clean. you go putting all these colors on a car and it looks like a damn ghetto x-mas tree. I applaud you doing the white. keep it clean and real. (thumbup!)

    HELP how do you cover with vinyl

    if you dont use padding you will see: screw heads poking up through the vinyl rough uneven lines where the seams meet woodtexture in the top of the vinyl and very rough sharp edges on the box. even the surface of the wood will show bumps in the vinyl.

    HELP how do you cover with vinyl

    you will need: thin layer of foam padding extremely good glue, no cheap stuff. and a heat gun to form the corners, no exceptions. the rest you'll figure out. p.s.- and a practice sheet of vinyl :)

    are Double DIN's worth it?

    if you own a dodge or nissan they are great. the aftermarket double din recievers were made to fit cars that came factory with DD radios. Ford isn't one of them.

    best sealed box shape?

    You can change technology all you want, you can't change the base principles of sound. The "perfect" box is rectangular in shape, slightly longer than wider (15 to 25 % ) and holds correct airspace. Creating a perfect cube can cause phase shift, though ocasionally a subwoofer will be...
