here's some food for thought for you. In the audio dept., instead of paying so much money for a sub, that in my personal opinion is good for nothing but DB drag, spend a little less on an alpine Type R DVC. They sound great and still produce a lot of bump. Plus, the Type R is a helluva lot tighter than a JLW7. As far as the components go, once again I'm not a big fan of RF. I'd go with something like polk, alpine, boston, or JL. They all sound much better.

As far as your wheels go, take a look at the slipstreams as well. They're a little lighter wieght wise than the Grinds and in my opinion look alot better esp. black on silver. Anyways, that's what I'm running on. Gives the car a whole raced out look.

 

that is one heck of a long sig.

 

:werd: I spent A LOT of money on stereo when I first got my car, just because my buddy was the manager of car toys and really hooked me up, but I've regretted it ever since. I personally would get a brake swap, and some sway bars to go with your springs/shocks first, then stereo(but don't go overboard), and then start saving up for the motor. The more money you have, the better motor/build up you will have. I really like the idea of building up your motor in the garage until youre old enough. When do you turn 18?

 

i turn 18 in 14 months (one year and 2 months for all you slow people)

Yea I am having second thoughts about the stereo system...I think I am just gonna go for the sub w/ stock speakers for now...

The rest of the money will goto the motor. Thsi thread helped me save a lot of money

 

1) Grids work
2) RF sucks
3) Kenwoods not too bad, but I'd go either kicker or JL audio
4) I wouldn't do it, but its your car
5) probably better than undropped with steelies

 

Thanks for the input 18secferio
