Hey guys:
I've been trying to wade through all the BS and can't quite find a definitive answer. Here's the thing: I heard that installing an 05-06 RevUp lower plenum on a 287hp motor will substantially (+8 to 10) increase top end HP; albeit at a possible loss of torque. Can anyone confirm this? Seeing as how people are selling theirs for less than $200, I thought it might be a good mod to pick up.

FYI I installed those 8s this weekend in the Titan. In a VERY small box those things POUND. I have never in my life heard an 8" sub drop bottom like that. My buddy at Al and Eds that built the box for me was laughing his @ss off cause he couldn't believe it either. They EASILY outperform the 12W3v2 I had in there. Thanks again for those Jim. BTW anyone looking for a JL 12W3v2 with box...selling it cheap...

) Torque does win street races, but then again, we have so much of it, sacrificing a little bit of low-end grunt for high end power seems to make sense.

Told ya so
It's funny though dude ... you could convince anyone those are 8s, 10s or a single 12 and anyone would believe you ... gotta love it I'm taking the weekend here to do my install in my garage on the Xterra .. things changed a bit and I got some more freebies (namely the A3000Gti and a spare 12") ... so I gotta figure this out and make it look clean and stealthy.

Si ... that's a Crown/JBL amp that does 3000W RMS into any load 4 ohms or under. MSRP...or as Monster Garage would say .... Freebie Value: $4600.00!!!
I'll see what we got for samples on those 12s ... design objective on those were W6 at 1/3 cost ... believe me, they succeeded

i might go there, im new to the area and i really dont know much people here. i went 1 time and i didnt know who to hang out with, since it was mostly Subaru's and Evo's that was there. so when does most of the 350z's, G35's and rear wheels go there?

7pm is the set meeting time. We usually park near subway and the nails place. A few get there early, some come a little after 7. If we're not by the cars, we're probably eating inside the Mexican joint or Sushi Hut.
