Default Couple new JDM goodies came today.

Got a couple things.








Only got the Carrozzeria Sub to go with my Carrozzeria rear quarter window speakers. Don't expect pounding bass out of it, but should sound OK. Add a little depth any way.

I put the Ganador on today and man is it quiet. Very sweet and well made. But the factory rubber mounts are too short and it rubs up against my lip kit, so I am going to replace the last 3 of them with ones about 1" longer.

The exhaust is installed. Sounds great. The powered sub is going to have the appearance of hovering over the air tank in the back. SO some custome hidden brackets need to be made.

The Pioneer should have a sweet sound to them...Pinoneer owns a company that makes the finest loudspeakers in the world period..and sometimes the technolgy seeps into its car audio

Pioneer isn't exactly known for high end car audio. Just sayin.

Perhaps you should look up a company called TAD- Technical Audio Devices you might learn something

They both were about $600 each. I didn't expect whipping to be so much, but it cost me big. Without whipping they were both in the $350 range. Tell you how I got raped. I have recieved other things from Japan that were bigger and heavier and didn't pay that much. All well, price you pay for rare stuff I guess.

I will do a sound clip of the exhaust as soon as I can. Right now the car is on jackstand getting air ride and body kit put on. Plus, I have never put on an audio clip before, so I have to figure out how to do it.

Here is a pic of it installed. It doesn't come out past the rear bumper at all. And I paid almost $600 with shipping. I got raped on shipping, didn't think it would be that expensive, but all well.

Sorry, no sound clip yet. I was working on it alone today. The wife was at work so no one to hold the camera while I rev it up. Maybe tomorrow. She gets off at 5:30 then.

I see a little step stool/toolbox in the background that would do the job...
right next to the tire. Just take that, set the camera to record,
walk over to the gas pedal and mash away!
:D

I'm JK...I guess I can wait

The blue is my airline for the air ride. It wasn't quite installed all the way. Doesn't hang down now though.

The CF lip will be for sale, cheap, as soon as my other kit gets done at the body shop.

Yeah, could have done the stool thing, but I was tired, it was like 6:00 AM, and was thinking clearly. Too busy thinking of all the other things I needed to get done.
