If you want a kick *** system go to Cartronics.
7989 Pines Blvd.
Pembroke Pines, FL. 33024
954-961-9370

Talk to Lester Taks.

There are about 5 Cartronics down in S. Florida but talk to Les. He knows his stuff.

They did my install! Look at my pics. click on the link in my sig.

Bro that is a great install Great pics. I cant believe you squeezed in all that equipment and still have some trunk space w/ full access to the spare. The 2 twelves look tight! How does it sound? I'm going to check out Cartronics thanks for your reply.

Holy shmokes, that Kenwood still plays? Isn't that amp like 12 years old? Tell me you bought that new back in '90.

I'm looking into buying front speakers the JL Audio XR 570.CS which are seperates 5x7 mid range and a mountable tweeter for $285. These are supposed to fit perfectly into the PRO-5. Then for the rear speakers use XR 650.CX = 6 1/2 coaxils for $198.
I have only heard them in a store display which can make almost any speaker sound good. Does anyone have any of these speakers installed or heard them? let me know what you think?

hey, i wanted those origianlly, but the local shop wanted my soul in exchange for jl's top line. gotta admit, it was really tempting. but those are really tight spkrs! however, for the same price, you could get a/d/s entry level line and sound just as good or maybe a little better. granted they don't have 5x7separates, but oooh the sound...

anyhoo, jl xr is their top line and is very sweet. it's worth the $$$

Onehawaiian,
I checked out your page, I like your pics of your car. You have a nice stealthy install w/ your amps under seats, a very clean install. You are living it up bro! Living in Hawaii, huge surf, great sounds in a kick *** car.

thanks silver! wish i could show you some of my sweeties as well, but they have made it quite clear that they don't want their pics on the net. but all this doesn't come without a price. the cost of living here is outrageous, so my plan is to get soooo deep in debt by buying all the toys i've ever dreamed about and paying them back ever so sloooowly.

then i'll marry one of my honies, have her divorce me and take half my bills with her! lol

anyone else got sounddomain pages?

Hey Bruce, are you getting a headache from the all caps in the posts?! I hate when I get emails from people in all caps. It's a pain in the *** to read.
