Sub: Old eD 12K with the blue E on the cone
Sub amp: Avionixx AXT800.2
Currently using the 12K while I decide what sub to use next. Might be waiting for the avalanche 12"s to be released by Ascendant Audio or wait and see if Incriminator Audio has something that catches my eye when they release there new products this year. If not I might just go with a JL W6v2 just because they sound sooo damn nice.

I pulled all signs of a stereo out of my car when I approached the new car purchase decision beginning of April, and I still haven't bought a car. I need to get a new car and get the following equipment in before my nads shrink any more:

I think that's everything... My friend and I did all of this ourselves overnight, except for building the box (that took a week). When I get home in two weeks, I am purchasing an Optima Yellow Top battery (or equivalent, upwards of 850 CCA) and my friend and I are upgrading my "Big 3" to 1/0 ga. Also, I would love to upgrade my alternator. Since my car is not a well known one, I cannot find pre-upgraded alternators. Do any of you know somewhere I may be able to find one, or have one made w/out having to get the alternator out of my car (since it is in the Virgin Islands)? I go to school in MA. Thanx guys, and it's great reading up on all of your cars!
