Thanks doug. Nice looking setup in the Z.

Last night I did some searching and found these beauties from Rainbow called the iPaul. Very slick looking. They have good output and low distortion too.

Beautiful build Mike - nice job FP! Can't wait to see it in person... Dying to see what else you did to the interior. With traction control you will own the runway event bro! Can't wait to see it.

Mike - You have a beautiful car, I can only imagine how much power you are putting down, I am sure it is impressive

Sharif - Great work as usual, I like the molding in the center console along with the custom brace

Here is my Audio setup, I am happy with it I know many people don't like JL/MB.

Head unit: Pioneer Avic Z1
Front Stage Speakers MB Quart Q-Series
Front Stage amp JL 300/4
Rear Stage Speakers MB Quart Reference Seriess
Rear Stage amp JL 300/4
Sub Speaker: MTX 9500 (1000w rms)
Sub Amp: JL 1000/1
Secondary battery in trunk with 0 gauge power wire and isolator.

On a side note, when is this Air strip event?

George you should have spoken to me first

that sounds like a dealer picked setup.. he moves certain Quart and JL's a month..

I'm not a fan of MB Quart.. the bass is a bit muddy and the tweeters are piercing

Thx Raj...yeah its not going to be fun without the ETC.....The car is up on 4 jackstands because its going to take 4 weeks for the new rims to show up...I am so pissed that I could not get that one rim fixed or even replace it

I will post pic of the interior for you...its all black.

Same concept, but we flash our own here. There are various reasons to do the reflash. Bumping up the idle, and removing the speed governors are the most popular features.

Hey Romey, Mike's was the first CAMP2 we have installed. I was very surprised to learn that you can't switch maps with the CAMPII and the Vpro. I spoke to HKS at length about this, so hopefully this feature will be available soon.

Thanks Rome.....

Sharif beat me to it....it comes with a wireless remote control also. I hope they come out with the map switching soon also....it sucks to use the NavPro when I have this thing. I really like it because it shows MPH over 200

Hope things are going good for you...you know what I mean
