Default Got the boomin' system...

A while back, I had Kicker subwoofers installed in the rear and Phoenix Gold speakers in the doors. The stock radio was still in terrible condition, though, with scratchy volume, bad CD, and not enough power. I had that replaced last week with a nice Pioneer system with Bluetooth and microphone for the cell phone and SiriusXM Satellite radio (never had it before). It's antenna is on top of the windshield frame.

While this is really cool, the Kicker minis in the stock rear position just wouldn't do. I had them add a Kicker 8" with custom box in the passenger foot well. This will do! BOOM, BOOM, BOOM... it rattles the houses as I drive down the street. Holy guacamole!

It sounds awesome, but freaked out my cell phone mic in the short video. Hah! Amp is in the trunk. SD600.1 - 600 Watt Mono-Block Amplifier - Phoenix Gold

The blue LED light under the dash, on the left, is the sub power knob. I'll dim that down with something tomorrow. The head unit will dim also. It does a crazy rainbow effect where it turns every color you could imagine... I have that turned off and currently have blue selected. =)

The video's volume goes up toward the end.

No worries about your passenger damaging the sub?

Fedoraja1... HAAAH! =)

Bad Cattitude: The speaker has a metal grille over it that is pretty sturdy and replaceable. 99.9% of the time, it's just me in the car.

Hmmm, Whats the blue light located to the Left of the Steering Wheel? A Radar Detector? Why would you need that?

Actually, that's the subwoofer power knob. Right next to that is a parking sensor system that, if tuned incorrectly, JAMS all police laser. It's called the Blinder.
