Here is my box as I have just removed it. I can't wait to weigh it and see how much this sucker was slowing me down. I can already tell the difference with it out. My Lexus v8 will definitely provide more power but dropping weight from your vehicle is BY FAR the easiest way to improve handling, get better fuel mileage and increase your acceleration.



So what will I use to replace all this? Well I already posted pics of my new 4ch Fosgate amp and I'll just retain one of my Fosgate 600w amps. For signal processing I'll use the new Fosgate 3Sixty which will do an awesome job of replacing the 2 EQ's AND the crossover which are the 3 components near the bottom of the picture. A friend of mine put one in his Jeep Cherokee and it is simply amazing. The next item in question is the bass speaker that I will use. I would like to use the new JL TW5 Thin-Line Subwoofer but it's not out yet!! This speaker is an amazing 12 inch speaker that is only 2.5 inches thick! I really hope this speaker comes through with some heave bass but it won't be released until the third quarter of this year (fall of 2007).

For now I'll just run one of my 12's which will definitely put out enough for me. As of now I am running 600watts to each of these Fosgate pro's and the bass is absolutely insane. There is no reason for me to have that much bass since I don't have it turned up even halfway (it's ridiculous). So I can actually run half the airspace as I have now and turn up the gain just a tad more and have enough bass to satisfy. The next question is WHAT exactly am I going to make it out of?
