Not me, as soon as I get done with my power window/lock conversion and add an alarm, I'm going to start working on my audio setup which will include either 2 12" Audiobahn Immortal series subs, or 2 12" Kicker Solobaric L7 subs. I can't go cheap on audio. My cd player cost me $400 new about 5 or 6 years ago (I need a replacement now though).

Re: subs

Whole lotta pointlessness. (MY OPINION) When someone drives by with massive bass and the radio so loud you can hear the words to the song when they're a street way, I'm one of the people sitting outside just shaking my head. ESPECIALLY when it's in a piece of shit car, maybe if they didn't waste so much money on audio they'd actually have a decent car. If you need attention that bad then get a nice car instead of pissing off everyone around you including cops. And if you're trying to pick up girls or something lol You're going about it the wrong way, most girls I know think it's completely stupid and obnoxious. But hey if having an unnessessarily loud sound system makes you feel cool, more power to ya. Sorry if I seem like I'm pissed off while typing this but thats just how I feel about the subject. Once again...my OPINION.

Re: subs

well the subs i have now (in my sig) did me fine for a while then i changed the setup on my amp and noticed that they sounded bad when turned up loud and they distorted a lot. thats when i decided that i need something better. i dotn want something so obnoxiously (sp?) loud but i dont want them to distort whn i turn my amp up. I am not even coming close to its fullest potential. i found those ma 8's on another site for like 45 bucks with like 25 shipping. i was a little weary about the price since every where else wanted like 80 plus. but ill get the two 8's and one of the tens

Number one, I'm about to be a cop, number two I don't do it to pick up girls, number three I don't view my car as a piece of shit, its just slow, number four why the hell would I care who I piss off? If they don't like it...tough! Shake your head all you want...won't change my view of the subject!

I more than likely will. I have a connection that I can get them at just over cost. So that will more than likely be my choice. I plan on building my own box/amp rack as well.

yeah its always nice when you set something off with your system. i cant tell you how many alarms i have set off before. im an asshole so it would be about 2 in the morning and i would be driving through a neighborhood and have it cranked up all the way. i would just drive and watch all the lights start turning on in houses as i drove up the street. it was great. not to mention seeing all the cars parked in the driveways start flashing from the alarms going off.
