hurry up and finish that so I can see pics and hear your review of the sound. I'm the same in that I've always had asystem in my cars. My last car really ended up being a pain in the... Even though I had a fold down seat I still couln't ever fit anything in there cause the box was always in the way. SO I was thinking about putting a box between the seats. Let us know how it works.

Wow. A lot of NBP EOC members in Jax. I'm another one. XPWEX, I think you parked next to me once at a BBQ joint.

In a couple months, mine will be rid of all silver plastic panels - replaced with black ones. Just waiting for the grille surround to arrive.
