Great! Now install it in your car with only two screws, loosen the screws on your license plate, and don't close your trunk completely. The White Trash illusion will be complete!

A car isn't a 'great' listening environment, but it has the potential to be decent. Small, symetrical, (potentially) well dampened... I don't see the problem except for extraneous noise.

It's never going to be as good as a well-designed room, but it's a good bit better than a radio in the bathroom.

I've yet to see a car system that cost more than, well, 'a new deck and 6x9s', and wasn't total overkill on the subs, with no actual attention to overall sound.

Damn, I stopped fixing up my stereo in my car because there really isn't any good music anymore...and I am tired of listening to the same old crap from the last few years. When will music be good again. :(

Very nice choice of sub though. I have a 12" sealed Kicker Comp + 12" Alpine R Ported box in my Civic. :)

Guilty as charged, but damn it, it ain't right
There's someone else controlling the music

Law of Maximum Overdrive. First it takes over things you really don't notice. Like Furbies - but they are dealt with easy with the microwave oven. Then it progresses further to the big machines and then people are doomed. :Q

:music:
They don't want music
They don't know how to use it
All they want is BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

They don't want music
They don't want music
They just want BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
:music:

Ironically, by the black eyed peas :laugh:
