I see, thanks. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img]

I'd go for another brand of sub too. In your case, maybe all Infinity.

Yea, my preferences are all speakers Infinity and all amps, head units Alpine.
I think Alpine has about the best, cleanest sound of any HU available.

I'm glad I'm not into audio that much. You guys won't catch me spending any of the money from my tree on a stereo or speaker upgrade!

But, I'm still interested in what changes you make!

I maybe be spending some green on this, though:

Nah, I'll spend the extra for this:

Hope the guys with the Eclipse and Pioneer decks aren't listening. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bat.gif[/img]

I temporarily opened up my photo album showing my audio set-up in my Tacoma, check it out.

Like I mentioned before, I would like to swap out my Shaker deck for a NAV unit, but not right now. Navigation not required in the garage! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img]

Tom-
I had the original G-Tech Pro in my Vette. It worked surprisingly well for something you just plug in to the 12V plug.

Unless you're considering performance mods and need it for baseline and progressive data, it's a pretty penny for trivial information (like the reason I had it [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img] ).

I forgot about your 89 Trooper! It'll come in handy for sure.

Heck, you can also check the 0-60 time on your Saturn too! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img]

And Mike will want to borrow it... that's why the RR model will be better. I can download stuff and it keeps stats for up to 4 cars at a time in memory. They are on eBay brand new for $269 with free shipping.

You may want to consider one of these before testing out the G-Force and 0-100 time slips. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img]

Didn't I explain my "money tree" here at one time? We sold our boat and I used part (most) of the money for mods. It was in bad shape, so we only sold it for $1400. I got $1000 for car mods and Shelly got $400 for house mods... hehehe![/b][/quote]Our money tree from selling the jeep is going toward a sport bike for Chris. Aren't I a sweet wife?

It's the perfect gift. If you do the fronts, don't forget the felt.[/b][/quote]Yeah, I looked closely at your tinting pics. Chris and I decided that is how we will qualify our tinter - we'll test them to see if they already know about the felt vs. rubber strips, like yours did.

heck I don't know how tall Susan and Chris are, but the entire idea of privacy in our cars cracks me up. I am just not that limber anymore to even pretend I could pull that off [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img] but I guess the seats do recline [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img][/b][/quote]We are 5'6" and 5'6". I'm not real interested in privacy in our car. But without the top, there's plenty of room to stretch out. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img] Although, then there goes the privacy, huh? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/headscratch.gif[/img] I should probably be a little more concerned with whether Katie will attempt to find "privacy" in our car. Oh no - don't make me think about it...

I forgot all about Tom's 89. The last time I caught wind of it was when Tom was talking about some 'Quality Hold'?? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/headscratch.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img]

The meaning of my TMS name (no, it doesn't mean that I love Taco Bell).

If were talkin about why we use these names................

KdF = Kraft Durch Freude

Thanks! And, no emission laws in FL !!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banana.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banana.gif[/img] Take that, CA!

The '89 had 4 cats from the factory... now it has 0.

There is absolutely no emissions on that car whatsoever. No EGR, no charcoal fuel canister, nothing.
