^your trippin dude! Infinity/mb quartz> Alpine...

Focal yea your whole bank account you got that right. JL audio hmmm ok ill give you that.

Alpine runs a 80RMS and infinty runs 70RMS...If your running subs infinity is better..MB quartz's are loud if your looking for speakers that with little bass and more vocals MB quartz is the way to go on low budget. I dont know which ones you heard Val but MB quartz is this shit depending on what you are looking for.

Alpine type S runs 80 watts, Type R runs 90. I forgot which MB quarts I heard, but I didnt like them. Infiniti.... ehhh. A lot depends on the headunit itself. My amp isnt too powerful tho. 360 watts, factory

i didnt buy 350Z simply bc gas was too expensive at the moment, then prices on cars dropped and I didnt want to lose money by reselling TSX, then I started modding ect.....

Well the dummy that had my car before me went to joe blows tint shop and they did a horrible job there doing all my windows all over again 5 rears 2 front sunroof and winshield. Taking all the tint off takes a while like 8-3. then tinting all over again will take like 3-4 hours so I told them they can keep it over night...ill be driving the owners TL which is just like mine same color but slammed

TSX comes standard with thick front strut and sway bars and thin rear sway bar. I upgraded RSB and there is like no body roll at all and the car oversteers sometimes

Hey Kevin...

You looking for CL seats...I think they are from maybe a CL-P.

Type S and Premium edition are different seats.

I have Type S which has perforated leather panels down the middle and I think they have a sportier feel to them.

FYI
