I have a camber kit in the rear..I read a lot of stuff about people messing up thier wheel speed sensor when installing certain front cabmer kits..the ones with the shims especially..also people bumping thier a arms. i would research it a lot..for me it wasnt worth it..Im really close to spec so I dont think the camber wear is gonna be an issue. I would search on it a lot before you pull the trigger. I didnt want the headache.

Yeah I read it and it seemed like a pita and really if you dont go to big of a drop in the front you wont even need a camber kit (if you keep it around an inch or so). Im 1.1 in the front and Im just out of spec..but barely, and the car drives fine.

Tony, I just checked the weather and it looks like next Sunday will be partly cloudy. Unless it changes, we should be good to go for the bbq.

Looking to get some feedback from all you guys. I'm looking to add a sub system to my Kenwood deck. Probably gonna do two 10" subs in a custom box. I've narrowed my choices down to:

- JL audio
- Memphis
- Alpine

More concerned about good sound quality than just pure deep bass. I listen to mainly rock and pop, so mid range bass will take precedent over lower bass frequencies. Online reviews are mixed for all three choices. Any feedback would be appreciated.

The amp(s) will be by the same manufacturer as the subs. Also, not sure if I'm going to change out the bose components yet. Will probably make that decision after I add the subs.

I've always heard the Alpine's have been reknown for their sound quality but i guess depending what shop you will be having to do the work will factor in to this as well. I think the biggest factor in all this is how much are you gonna get charged per different system and who they are a distributor of as to what they are gonna try to push on you to buy.

All three have good sound quality. JL Audio probably has the best out of the three, but you will pay a premium. I'm not too concerned about $$$, so I am leaning more towards the JL Audio system. The new Alpine amps are very compact compared to the other two manufacturers, so that is also a consideration since the trunk space for the G coupes are limited. Memphis is a good quality system for the money and is comparable to the Alpine system in price.

Paul I have the seal box from JL Audio and I like it a lot. Its one 10 in. woofer. It adds some nice bass to the bose system.

Jl audio 10w6's have really good sound, and they will go pretty low and take a lot of power., if you can afford it the 10w7 is a great sub..I have had both..the 10w7 just needs a pretty big box so you will loose a lot of your trunk. also you really only need one sub especially if you get the 10w7. get a jl 10w7 and a 500/1 all the bass youll ever need...of course thats coming from someone who had 3 10w6's with a jl 1000/1 in his g.

also I listen to a lot of metal and stuff..but also stuff with deep bass., the Jls will do both equally well if you put them in a sealed box with a lot of power.

^ i think what Paul is going for in this setup and correct me if im wrong Paul, the best bang for his buck within the confines of our trunk area but yet still have enough room for other purposes other than to just house subs and amps.
