I think this is the one that I saw for $79.99 in a recent ad. I love the one I have. Mine came from Northern Tool and is pretty low profile. It does fine under the lowered Z. I don't know if it would work with low side skirts, but it works fine getting under the stock sides.

Just make sure that you get a low profile jack.

I really need a jack too. The worst was when I forgot to loosen the lugs first, and had to jack it back down and up again to take off the wheels. There are alot of tools I need, now that I think about it.

You know it might be a little convincing if this didn't look just like the GTR we all saw at Ennis a few months back.

Yeah I remember that one from Ennis. I knew they had some affiliation with Jotech. We thought it was one of the Trans at first.

@ Eric's post. Yeah, I think that's the same GTR that ran the R35's first 10 sec run.

The battery on my camera is dead and i could not find the charger so I had to use my cell for these pics sorry. I didnt get to finish tucking in my power or rca wires because I cut my power wire a couple inches too short so that is why the capacitor is sideways in the pics. Easy fix but I ran out of wire. I dont know how good it sounds yet since I like breaking in my subs the proper way but so far I like it. The headunit is Pioneer Avic-D3, subwoofer is Kicker S10L7, amp is JL 1000/1, capacitor is 1 farad rockford fosgate and Monster rcas. All the wiring is Monster 4 gauge which is a pain I probably should have gone with 8 gauge but thats what I had and yes its all red because I could not find my black for the ground I know I have it...somewhere. I went with the Kicker L7 instead of a JL w6 or w7 mainly because ive used the these subs before, I had 2 12" L7s in my integra in a ported box and it hit HARD, also you cant beat it for the price. Feel free to comment.

What kind of eye infection do you have? I get an infection once in a while and then take medication called Bactrim.

I'm not sure, seems to be pink eye. I may just go to the doctor tomorrow because it's really annoying. Plus my throat is hurting. Might be related, and I bet all that smoke is involved, too.

You definitely need to hide the wires. Should of mounted the amplifier in stock bose location behind driver seat so it wouldn't be so noticeable. Those amp's are expensive and you definitely do not want them getting stolen.

I hope you have a upgraded battery as well, cause you should of used the money from the capacitor to upgrade the battery instead.

I also hope you have upgraded front speakers + amplified to keep up with the subwoofer or else it would basically won't sound good (bass will easily drown out your stock speakers).

Other then that not bad, I would of personally range 0gauge to that 1000/1.

Thanks JP, you should check it out in person some day.

Umm, I think you might have a STD. A good shot of Penicillin will clear it right up !

SARS or West Nile could be possible also.

Good luck...I think you just have Pink Eye.

Normally inbetween the L/H is good. As long as its not wayy over the H, and not under the L.

Checking dipsticks on 03-06 Z FTMFL. POS location.

its reading halfway right now so i guess its ok. started off reading right at H when i changed it last. might need to add a half quart or so just to be safe since built motors tend to burn oil.
