Looks awesome! If you don't mind me asking a few questions: does the soft top still fit in the trunk, with the raised space for the amp? What is the size of the subwoofer enclosure they built in cubic feet? And what is the fiberglass piece protruding in front of the woofer? Is taht a replacement for the center console holder-thingy?

And of course the most important question, how does it sound??

the shop made it so i can fit my soft top right behind my amp box...fits like a glove too!
im getting an extra amp put in that empty space...just waiting for another payday lol

the sub is 10" and that piece protruding is an accent piece i requested because i wanted a "rib:" look (you know how our cars have a raised indention down the middle of the whole car if you will...lol i cant explain it)

oh yeah they also added a component set w/ tweeters...Alpines all around baby!

its not really a replacement, they made it so it sets inside the console holder thingy lol

and omg it sounds so wonderful =D

id rather live in my car now

esp with my new alpine dvd player

SweetDaddyD · 04-28-2007, 04:43 AM

nope! it does touch the stalks when it flips down, but if i move the stalk to wiper speed : super fast, it clears perfectly lol...but i just leave it up and the flip function to manual... and when im in the ghetto or dont wanna show my screen i have a visual function that turns off the screen...
