****Yo this is my update as of 7/17/2009, My stereo's complete, I blew my L7 and replaced it with 2 Kicker CVR 15's, got a new 200-amp chrome alternator, eyeing some Status Dynasty 24's, got my Optima yellowtop, re-arranged speaker placement and got a fosgate 4-channel for my highs...  I know it's been a long time coming, but good things come to those who wait... She's got paint and I'll be taking pics when I get her back tomorrow (7-18-2009)

Threw some extra sounds in the doors (not to mention the Memphis 3.5's up front and the 800 Watt 6x9's in back)
*Updated 1/5/2008 Had to paint speakers black, red isn't part of the theme at all...

nah the offset is right so i aint need spacers or anything, but my tires are wide as hell so i had to notch the frame on both sides, shaved down the handle of the skirts so they aint rub the rims, & the plate the handle on the skirt connects 2 i had 2 push that inward & tack weld it in place so it had more clearance----if i had to do it over again i would go with a 255/30/24 instead of what i have on their now a 275/25/24

Hell yea thats wasup. Cancelled the Redtop & Going wit da Yallow! Didnt know it'd be way hotter for tha sound system. I'm trynna see how yo trunk look patna! lol My 15" in tha box dont fit wit tha tank in tha trunk.. i gotta relocate some shit to make it work first, recarpet it n errythang. You got dat Rear Deck space so i know you got dem 6x9's lookin tight back there. Imma have to optimize my space once i install them 4 buckets and do a center console front to back. Drop some heavy mids in there nah mean!! lol Dont got no roof so i gotta improvise! lol Snap some shots awwready pimpin

Copped tha RedTop today!! 1000 Cranking amps! Now should i use it to power the Sound System or should i use it to power the car? I'm thinking drop it under the hood and copp another cheap motormaster for the Sound system. What u think?
