Hey guys this is my baby. She's a Silver 2001 Volvo S40 1.9T. I fell in love with her from first drive and bought her on spot. She came fully loaded with heated parchment leather seats, wood trim, premium audio package, cold weather package,factory alloys, sunroof and much more.

Here she is smiling for the camera with her headlight eyebrows:

UPDATED PICTURES OF MY NEW ECLIPSE 7002 5.8" LCD INDASH & DVD COMMING SOON...

I first gave her a little more beat. I was initially going to go with 3 10" Titanium SW9102 subs but was talked out of if simply because it would be too much bass. I ended up going with just a single 10" Titanium SW9102 1500watt sub AT FIRST. Believe me, this thing hit real hard and had the best low end bass of any 10" or 12" I've ever heard. I had it installed with a custom built flush-mounted box to fit my trunk. I RECENTLY UPGRADED TO A SINGLE 15" ECLIPSE SW9152 Ti IN THE PLACE OF THE 10". BELOW ARE PICTURES OF BOTH THE old 10" AND THE NEW 15". LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. The flush-mounting really looks clean to me and it still gives me some trunk room:

As you can imagine, a sub this powerful is nothing without proper juice. I decided to go with the 2000watt Eclipse DA7122. When bench tested, this beast put out just under 3100watts max and close to 2000watt rms.. SICK! I also had a 2.0 Farad Digital Capacitor which feeds my amp with anywhere from 13.8 - 14.1 watts believe it or not. I had both put in behind my rear seats and flush mounted. Really a clean looking system if you ask me:

I next wanted to give my ride some new feet. I decided to go with some 6 spoke 17" Eagle Alloy 193's wrapped in Kuhmo 205-40-17 tires. I like the agressive look they give to the car:
