u will basically just need hi/low converters, a crap load of speaker wires, and an amp wiring kit... remember smaller guage is optimal... i like 4 guage...
Thnx for the offer, really appreciate it Drew...I'll let u know when a good will be. And if needed I do have a garage with lights, just not that many lights so might suck. Maybe we can make it a Sat or Sun project if you have the time.

That doesn't sound that bad. It's a lot better than the $900 they originally told you

oh man sam can drive man... we went down the road and he made a u-turn.. but not any ordinary u-turn.. he fucking puts it in 2nd... lets the car slow a little.. drops it in first... turns the wheel gives it gas, the front wheels breaks loose, he pulls the e-brake, pulls the rear end around and stomps on the gas and we are off.. a perfect 180 in a matter of 3 seconds.. i was like holy shit!!! why can't all my u-turns be that fun... imma meet up with him tomm afternoon.. try to diagnose a squeaky belt in han's car... seeing as how he used to work for toyota...

i would love to have it done by then.....only problem i've read so far is that focal mids are pretty big and dont fit into the stock holes w/o mods and spacers..also they need dampening to sound to their max or something like that....hopefully this wont b a super hard task

I'm not exactly a passivist, but I let Karma do its work when it comes to fucking with my cars. Believe me, if I were to get a moment with the bastard that whacked my car, I'd skip a beat and accidentally hurt someone. I'm not a violent person though. Aggression isn't the answer in this case. I have to deal with the fact that people do stupid things. It's my place to remember that I'm not one of those people.

You're actually going to get out and about? Good to hear. Maybe one of the other guys could use a passenger.

the one in Ft.Worth is always crazy! I love it there!

I don't think I'll be able to make that meet though, I took some time off that following week and plan on visiting some family in Abilene. But if that changes, I'm there.
