If your interested in joining it's a real learning exerience, great people, great shows and real sick SPL competitions. Here's a link to USAQ's sound comp shows for 2009. http://www.soundoff.org/usaci.htm
Just swapped sold/traded my Pioneer PRS D2000 Mono-Amp (from last year) for two Alpine PDX 1000's straight trade lol, they rated in testing at 1237Watts at 2ohm and 1245 watts at 2 ohms, MORE JUICE!! all sealed not really for SPL but it does hit hard.
I've put at least 1500 hrs+ into this car and loved every minute of it.
Engine re-wiring done(at least on the right side of the engine) , so other pics below
Don't have cash to do your car? Trade your skills for paint,engine,body, etc with people in the car industry. Painting car is phycho expensive and so is fiberglass work. I traded my skills for things I couldn't do professionally myself. I posted a ton of pics of work in process pics from 2008 on Page 3
Below are My Plugs to my friends and the custom car experts in the Chicagoland area that provided advice, work and expertise when designing my Kia.
1.The lower 4 fiberglass door panels speaker mods were fabricated by my boy Rafi at IL Style Audio in Chicago.
2. The interior paint was done by Julio at JAM Auto Collision Center in Forest Park, IL.
3. Engine headers from KFX, installed by ONE6 motorsports in Arlington Hts, IL.
4. Graphics custom made by Extreme Graphics in Villa Park,IL.

2008 Hot Import Nights - Won Hot Wild Other Import - Only Kia in the show
Completely Re-fabricatedInterior Door panels- Custom Paint, fiberglass, and suede leather inserts w/ custom orange stiching.
I had the seats re-upholstered this winter, I'm getting mixed reviews on the black leather because I choose a crack black leather look instead of going clean & smooth. My friends say the leather looks old, but Ii like the 60's old school look, I wanted something different than the norm, Im a non-conformist..hell that's why I tricked out a Kia!..lol.The orange micro-fiber leather has a wierd design that adds some style. Plus I designed the leather layout and had the back seats slightly carved out to accomodate my extruded fiberglass speaker assemblies on the rear lower door panels, the fiberglass door panels stuck out so much they crushed my stock seats.
My garage with all th insides back from paint and a shot of my carbon fiber hood, with a plug for my friend Rafi's Shop IL Style Audio.
