they are 12" MTX thunder 8000's. They are only running at 500w RMS power, they are not propperly designed for the amp i'm running.

The actually arent the head-pounding muddy bass loud that you usually hear, w/ this box they are very fast and very articulate. Like i say i've never heard a crisper, clearer sound from car audio before. I'm very happy it turned out this way.

Yea i must say that does looks nice, a little too big for me. And yes, you going to need some top of the line security system because with it looking like that, your just looking to get jacked. Maybe Tint your windows all around? I think that would add to the appearance of your car, make it looks more badass.

Super 13B, it sounds even better than when you heard it, now. It wont throb your chest like it used to, but it sounds infinately more clear than it did, even since the last time you heard it!!!

I got the a-pillar guage pod from a guy on the mazspeed forums. I can get you his hookup if you like

WOW... Holy **** dude... I didn't think that a sound system could get much better than that. Can't wait to hear it.

(Jedi Mind Trick)- You will come up for the BBQ on Sunday.

Nice As Always

But Man I fear for you... That wouldn't last a night in my neighbor hood. Cover it up or something!! Or leave a opened condom on the box, filled with some spit. They might not steal it then.

I park mine outside and I have a spot light on the car, me and a friend of mine have hook-ups for some security camera's so I'm in the process of getting everything together.

My rx7 lost the garage spot to a 2003 cadillac sts.

It's a mazdatrix Short throw shifter, however the shift **** bolts over the stock threads. You could also put a plastic insert inside and self-thread it on, but the hex bolts seem to do the job fairly well.

JIMMY54: whenever i park the car, i cover up the back hatch. I'm also going to be tinting the windows to 20% on the back and quarter windows, and 34% on the sides.

Whenever the car is at home and not being driven, its under a cover, parked in our long driveway, in our fenced off yard. I also have some other security measures.
