Hey guys, I finally paid and I'm an official member of the FGC. Hope to actually make it out to a meet soon.

How many of you guys have subs? I just got a kenwood double-din head unit and am having it installed as soon as my dash kit gets here... I was thinking about getting a 10" sub in a 4080 box whenever I get it put in. I was thinking either Alpine type R or JL audio, either with around 500 watts going into it... suggestions?

I want do do other mods but it's so hard to get a decent hp gain/cost ratio on a NA motor... will most likely just wait until I can afford to turbo it and do all the other stuff then so I can get it all tuned at once... but I love the car so much, I've put around 7 or 8 thousand miles on it in 2 months .

Hey Visirale! Welcome. I had a JL 10w6v2 in and a 500/1 that sounded great in my G. I had a zenclosures box, but with the 4080 it should be even better.

i could always through the stock 19s on there but im not looking for the fastest time. When i drive my car, i will have the 20's on it, so why take them off just for the track? lol

Holy... Now I don't feel so bad for putting 20k miles on my car in 15 months
