All the audio accessories (except the PA...) were purchased from and installed by Tweeter, and wired with Monster Cable.

10" JL Audio Subwoofer (150W)
I'm not really sure what there is to say about this speaker, other than that it rocks. Especially underneath the glass sounding board that so many people call a "hatchback".

Alpine Amplifier (140W)
Likewise, this amp has performed extremely well. Notice that it passes less power than the sub handles - and it's still plenty of power. It's got a blue LED on it, and that makes me smile.

Coga PA systemcodesplice's 2001 Saab 9-3This is quite possibly the greatest mod ever. It's a simple PA horn wired to a handset with many pre-programmed sounds, songs, and the ability to act as a traditional speaking PA. It's plenty loud enough to get me in trouble, and I've had tons of fun with it.

The PA came pre-configured to tap into the power lines to the reverse lights so a warning "beep beep" would be emited each time I put the car in reverse. I thought that was tacky, so I didn't wire it in that way. Insteady, I installed a switch that will let me turn on the back-up alarm when I need it - like backing out from between two utility vans in the WalMart parking lot. It's a high-pitched loud tone, so hopefully it will help increase my car's presence in crowded parking lots.

Great upgrades. Thanks for being so descriptive. I was wondering about the intake resonator delete, its the box thing behind the foglight right? did u just take it out and have the air being sucked from behind the foglight or did u connect it back up so it sucks air from the fender behind the corner light?
