The Bad

- the toy(remote air control) on the console is a bit tacky if you ask me... plus the huge air hoses attached are a bit tacky too, but if that is all needed to have the air, then you gotta do what you gotta do.
- the subs in the back seat seem to have infinitely-small enclosures.... .5 cu. ft. a piece, or what?
- but my biggest complaint is, why on earth is there a screen in the hatch area? I've seen others do this on a few different cars, but I can't, for the life of me, figure out what good it does back there...
- are there subs underneath your air tank, or is that where you have the compressor?
- the screen looks like too much of an after-thought, (almost glued on.)
- no back seat
- no covers on your 6x9s We're in the same boat

The Good
- at least you're being original, score one for creativity.
- you HAVE a screen in your car
- airbags kick ***
- subs look really nice
- rear plate looks AMAZING... amp, tank, and cap look great in there.

The wall with the 15" screen is something I wanna see...

Scorecard:
Looks: 10
Functionality: 5
Too Flashy: 8

overall, I love it. good luck on the rest of the project.

a screen in the hatch area is simply there for excess points at shows...no more no less

there are only 2 subs in this version the compressor is in where the spare tire would have went

no back seat, its a show car, no one needs to sit back there anyways :P

no screens on 6x9s- with them no sound or very little comes through

Okay, so the screen is for show? I guess I can understand that for showcar purposes.

What is underneath the rear amp plate, in the actual well? Plus, how loud is the compressor inside, and how much can you use your system before it has to refill?

Plus, you are saying that the standard sail panels cover up too much of the sound? In that case, you might try what I'm about to do. Cut a small hole in the middle of the sailpanel, and then peel the cloth from the cardboard. Then strategically cut away the cardboard in the middle, until you get the desired look, then pull the fabric through the hole and glue it.

I have to do this because my 6x9s stick out too far.
