Ok, my system has been completely revamped. I now have an Alpine 9815, a JBL 1200.1 for the Eclipse SW8122 (or sumthin like that), a Clarion 400x4 for highs, 4 ga wiring, ANL fuse, 12 ga. wiring for sub, Boston Accoustic 6x9's and 4x6's, and 3 new sets of NGX patch cables. Here are some pics, tell me what ya think! As soon as I get some numbers ill post them.

CD player was $534.12 from an authorized alpine dealer, but it goes from 3-4 hundred on ebay and ikesound.com. The amp was $275 off of ikesound.com (a $550 amp), and the sub was supposed to be $369, but I got it for 300, payed 100, got a 200 dollar rebate on the Type R I had b4. Thanx for the compliments

just a suggestion--why don't you put a real motor in that thing so that you can move all that extra weight down the road--contrary to ***** theory (no offense), you shouldn't have all that show without any go. Think of the whole picture.

That being said...nice car man

No need to talk on his ride just because of the engine it is. To me its pointless to have a fast car then weigh it down with stereo equipment

Looks good. Why did you change the sub? How do you like the eclipse? How does it do on the really low notes?

ok, here we go...

1)The wooden dowel is actually a walking stick...although it seems to be used more for a beating stick...its my security system, if you will

2)My motor runs great, so why change something if there's nothing wrong w/ it? I read some where "Most people show off by going fast, but the best show off by standing still" (or something like that) and I like to show off by standing still.

3)I changed the sub because I popped 2 alpine type-r's in about 10 minutes. The dude at the audio shop said that eclipse was prolly my best bet since he didnt sell kicker anymore. The eclipse is awesome, and was definately worth the money. It has no problem w/ the 10-20 hertz test that I have. It sounds great, I am waiting for the shop to get there RTA (real time anylizer) from there other store so I can get it metered and what not.

Thanx for all the comments guys, I really appriciate it.
