Most people that are "in the know" about Audio don't care too much for my equipment. I have had this setup for a long time, It was previously in my Z, and was very LOUD and CLEAR.

Keep in mind I am amplifying the tweeters and mid range speakers on different channels so maybe they are not as harsh as you may have heard before.

I love JL Amps, I know there are a lot better speakers out there than what I currently have.

I did all the audio my self on the Z, and going to be doing the same on the G now that I got it back. I'll email you pics of the install once completed.

I had a friend who owned a Audio shop back in the day, So I got all the JL/MB stuff at cost

Sorry for the OT XKR, but I am sure doug will be able to point you in the right direction when you are ready for your audio system.

I am hoping the extra wieght of all the equipment in the trunk will help with my traction issues, I can't got WOT in 4th with out spinning my rear wheels.

On a side note, let me know if you ever bring you car down to your AZ residence. I might drive down so we can have some friendly races, would be interesting to see how my car does against another full weight daily driven G35.

Loser pays for dinner at the best restaurant in town ?

huh? Isn't that one of the selling points of the CAMP2?

Q13. If I have an F-CON V-Pro, will i be able to view all maps?
A. Viewable maps are the same as what can be viewed on the F-CON NAVIGATOR. (For the F-CON V-Pro Version 3.1 or newer only)

What's the point of viewing them if you can't switch them or "edit" them? I though "edit" means to actually edit unlocked maps with the is/sz, but you could not do that with the Vpro. But I thought you could at least switch between locked maps on the Vpro with the CAMP2. That's dissapointing...

The more the merrier! If its the G I think you are talking about I don't think I stand a chance

Hopefully Quicksilver and RudeG can come as well, I think it would be a lot of fun - not really any high hp G's out here.

Anyways sorry again for the OT

Can the brace and molded center guage cluster be produced and sold? I've been looking for these 2 items for a while now...

Thanks.
