Crystal Mobile Sound CSC60's. Got em for a good deal on eBay over a year ago. Supposedly some good budget speakers. We'll see.

Finally got a sub in. 15" RE SE. Also painted the wood black so it looks a lil cleaner. Barely got the sub to fit in because of the stupid thick foam pieces the car comes with. Had to get a lil creative to get it in, but I got it.

In the vid below I actually turned the gain down quite a bit on both the Audiocontrol LC6i and the amp. It was quite a bit louder before and the rear view mirror immediately vibrated down, and much faster. Sunroof was also flexing quite a bit earlier. Sub sounds like it's rattling but its the old digital camera I'm using. Sounds pretty good though.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you don't join the "My factory headunit display is black, none of the buttons work, except on the steering wheel" club.

Either way, glad you're enjoying it!

I hope not either. How does that usually happen? HU just goes out or is it due to adding a sub to it?

Hey Don,

I noticed on your hard hits that your rear view mirror drops a bit. I am having the same issue, just moves a bit more. Do you know of anyway to counter that besides turning the bass down?

Haha Of course, don't want to do that.

Looking Very Nice!

Thanks!

No possible way other than turning it down. You can put as much deadener as you want but it's still going to vibrate like that.

Thanks for the compliment too.
