I'm not really into "LOUD" but rather into "Clear." Its loud enough. I have 2 amplifiers. A Kole 2channel 480Watt and a Visonik 4 channel 800 Watt. I chose the amps to deliver 100 rms per channel.

Chip - 35My Bazooka 8" base tube and amp rack setup. I didn't want to sacrifice trunk space just to have a little base. This is the Bazooka BT8024DVC. I glued the carpet over the entire tube to make it more stealth. Also the Visonik amp

This is what the amp rack looks like. I used the side pocket. The amplifier is attached to the door

The 1.0 Farrad capacitor and cooling fan for the amplifier and the amplifier. (Kole 2ch 480W)This amplifier is solely for the Bazooka base tube. The bazooka is a dual voice coil subwoofer so both channels are being used.

The Vinyl dye helped restore the windshield cowl. It was really faded. Looks like I put Armor all only it does not wash off. Now I need to refinish those ugly wiper arms.

I am in the process of redoing the seats. Heres a taste of what I'm doing. These are the rear seats. I'm going to match the bottom portion of the seats next.

Heres my Dual guage cluster bezel pods. Both guages are from Dynotune. I dyed the bezel red just like everything else. The plastic was real soft and acetone just eats it up so the Dye really absorbed very well. Here they are Digital. Left is Dyno Tune's Voltometer and to the right I have a Dyno Tune's Wideband guage. They both output red digits having the same properties. They both will show the digits the same way (xx.x) so it will look really nice.
