sub box in the trunk



next mod this thursday.... ipod interface for the headunit and %20 tint on back 3 windows. sux i cant do the front, illegal in jersey

i was thinking i might as well get something else done at the same time... i looked this up (yes i do search) and i seem to find mixed resposes for the PIAA XTREME WHITE PLUS 15224 bulbs. http://www.abtelectronics.com/product/18991.html
guy at the shop offered them at 90 for the pair at first but lowered it to 75 (with installation) i guess since he's starting to get to know me. i know i could probably get them way cheaper but i dont want to damage anything by installing them myself. anyone have any first hand experience with these? i keep reading about how its hard to see in the rain with these and that the life of the bulbs is only a few months. whats fact and fiction?! i hope to make up my mind by thursday so i can get it all done at once, if not i might have to wait until i save enough money for a good alarm system (probably a viper) which will be my next mod.

damn solaraguy.org has cost me about a grand already lol

im keeping track of my spending too, heres the list

$355.95 - Jensen VM0311 Touch Screen
$26.98 - JLink Ipod Cable
$99.99 - Infinity Reference 1242w 12" (pair)
$6.49 - 8 feet of 12 gauge cable by StreetWires
$24.99 - 11.5ft RCA cables by StreetWires
$197.18 - Profile AP2000 California series amp (320 watts RMS x2 at 4ohm)
$250 - Installation for amp, amp wiring, head unit, brain, subs, and actual sub box

this adds up to $961.58!

plus this thursday the tint is gonna cost me another $150, and if i do the lights its $75 more! its becoming an addiction lol

is it worth it??? YESSSSS

doesn't the jensen come with that mobile brain that has ipod interface?

i wouldn't spend 75 bucks for piaa bulbs. i bought the piaa gtx plasma before for 95 and they burnt out in 5 months you should just get hids they're the best bang for the buck

thats the only thing I hate about my Alpine IVA-D900 but a double din is in the near future

tito53: looks really good

it does, it just wasnt installed because i didnt have the jlink cable that connects the brain to the ipod. how are you guys placing your ipods in your cars?? i dont know if i should get a holder for it
