    The best mod I ever could have done

    this improves handling, accellerating, braking, drivability, visability...

    try removing about 250lbs of stereo equipement. A huge fiberglass box and 4 12" subs came out of my car today. The box was so heavy (with the speakers out) I couldnt throw it in a dumpster by myself. These subs are frickin' huge too. They have the biggest drivers I have ever seen.

    It feels like I have a whole new car.

    I believe it was all with the car when he bought it.

    Good idea man, does the stereo still sound good?

    The subwoofer was so big, it blocked the rear vision mirror.

    Yeah, all four of them

    The best part of this modification is that now he can re-sell thousands of dollars in brand new stereo equipement

    My friend just put thousands into his stereo system, subs, amps, caps, speakers, alternator, battery. He said the car gets worse mileage and is slower than before. nigel didn't buy it new, it was an older car.

    when I bought the car it was a stereo show car. I havent rewired the remaining speakers, so it is crossovered and sounds like total crap.
