a shameless plug on the side 
Just got the Elise back from Sound In Motion - they installed an incredible system into my Lotus. The sound system in the car was god awful and obviously I didn't want to turn it into some escalade or something but I work in music and to have things sound that dreadful was just not flying. So I brought it to them with the task of turning a 4 speaker no sub system into something solid. What they did was awesome. They built a custom sub into the passenger foot rest area and only took about 1inch of room out from what used to be ther e- they blended the carpetting so it looks totally smooth and normal - they put in 5in MB Quartz speakers that just sound insanely good in the fronts and then put in two MB woofers in the rear for some bass support - however the rears aren't loud - just some reinforcment - then we swapped out the horrible face plate for an Alpine system with built in XM and Ipod attachment - when you plug int he ipod all info shows up on the screen of the Alpine. They hid the XM antenna under the support frame behind the seat - because of the carbon material the signal goes right through it so the antenna is totally invisibile. THe sound is just amazing. Probably because the cabin is so small but it's just massive for suhc a small simple system. We mounted a Zapco amp in the trunk with stock bolts so no drilling needed. The whole system was about 3800 and a decent chunk of that was labor on the custom sub box. They are really great guys and did a fantastic job!
And for a shameless plug - if you are in Boston/Cambridge - Caroline is playing a CD release show tomorrow and celebrating her b-day (we will indeed have cake - or so i'm told) - at the SkyBar on Somerville Ave. Come check us out! It may be my last show with her so i'd love to see a few of you guys!
her new CD just came out - check out her site for more info - it's only 7bucks - you drive a lotus- feel free to help new artists
hahaha I'm shameless and proud!
