yes... I removed all my rear crap since I cant have anyone back there anyways. once I did that it got noisy and took a long time to cool down.

this fixes those problems, also gives me much better sound imaging and more bass since I can use 6x9s

the green bag is my GFs

it looks clunky... but I figured since no one will be back there it didn't matter. the weight savings was worth it IMO... noticeable difference.

you should pick up jacks cross floor member brace that goes inside on the backside. you can tie off your harnesses to it!

I dont recommend using my cross bar for a harness, from a few guys that I met with Rob at CC last month said that the angle the harness approaches the seat is not good if your seat folds forward somehow. If you have a fixed seat with no adjustability then I would say its ok.

I have a few things Im looking to sell locally before I ebay them

Raceramps - $70
Floor bar - $70
BNIB blue nrg square oil catch can - $30

relatively cheap considering they are that price for the VQ and you get 2 more. Not to mention as part of the over all build it's just good security and cheaper than all the other components.
