Since we're all young guys, I know I'm not the only one here with a pimped out ride. Who else has a system in their car? Also, what do you drive? We all know Nostie drives an Ice Cream truck around trying to pick up kids, but other than that I have no idea what anyone rides around town in. I drive a red 99 Honda Civic. I didn't pay for it, therefore it is the best car in the world. Otherwise, its aight My system is pretty low budget, but I'm pretty satisfied with it. Front door speakers: Kenwood KFC-1662S 6.5" Back speakers: Kicker KS69 6 x 9's My deck is a Panasonic I think, I'm not too sure. Got it cheap off craigslist and it works alright. I'm investing in a new one soon though (any suggestions?) Subs: MTX Audio Terminator Series TNE212D 1200 Watt Dual 12" Sub Enclosure Amp: Kenwood Kac-7205 1000-Watt Stereo/Bridgeable Amplifier I ended up spending about $375, which isn't too much but it could have bought plenty of beer. I'm really satisfied with the system as a whole though. The Kickers in the back are AWESOME. So clear. The front speakers aren't very audible but they're really low powered and I like how it sounds. I also am looking to invest in a capacitor, but I have NO idea how to hook it up or what to get (I am no electrician and I don't know anything about cars). Thoughts? |

I remember my first car... i put a system in it. Spent $1K. Actually, i have pic of it in the gallery. I miss that car... I dont have a custom system yet...but mine came with 600watt Bose that does ok. Ive spent money on performance parts. I am also ordering new brakes this week. Getting slotted rotors (possibly dimpled and slotted) with HAWK Ceramics. I am currently about 1 week from grinding the calipers on the rotors. I got nothing left. And this should dress up my wheel nicely too. As for my car... anyone who knows me on Facebook knows what im running. I'll post a shit ton of pics here though for those who dont know. It is a 2004 Velocity Red fully loaded Mazda RX-8 with Nav. I do all my own work. My mods include: Demon Eye LEDs HID Fogs and rewiring AEM Cold Air Intake Painted strut brace Painted calipers and rotor faces Smoked clear corners Removed engine bay padding for aesthetics Black Halo Racing ignition coils and spark plug wires (no pics for this..although you can see the red wires). Mazdaspeed Decals Airbox undertray for aesthetics Ive been contemplating removing the seat behind the drivers seat and using that space for anything audio such as a subwoofer box and amp or whatever else...so i can save trunk space. I never really have 4 people in the car. Common is 3 for me leaving my other seat open. Here are some pics.        Edited Tue Sep 04 2012, 07:55AM |

I drive a 2011 Ford Focus SES. It came with a pretty kick ass stock sound system. | ||

I had a 2010 Focus, for a car i quite liked it but i sold it because i really dont like cars themselves. Great gas mileage though. I could get 52mpg on the highway. | ||

Ford has really came back with their cars. I'm not denying that my car looks and feels cheap, but mechanically it's pretty sound. I will have had it for two years this November, so far no hiccups other than getting rear-ended, but that's not really the car's fault. |

Well the focus is just a Mazda 3 with a different body. Ironically its better than the Mazda 3 because they had all kinds of rust issues with the bodies, the Focus had no such issues. I'm still a truck guy though, I'll take my Ranger over any car. Not only is it reliable(in 10 years all I've had to do was replace a hanger bearing and a leaf spring bracket) but if something did happen its a simple enough design that i could get it back up and running on the side of the road fairly easily. |

Yeah I will be getting a small SUV/Crossover for my next car, the new Escapes are really good looking vehicles. Don't really want anything bigger than a mid-size. |
