what you looking for i have some equipment for sale. what do you have in mind for sound? i would think you are wanting a groundpounder with that type of car. take 1g for electrical upgrades and wiring so 3g left i have 2 amps that would burn up almost half of that alone. almost 7000w of real power. |

I've done an install with a single 10 tsx in a benz clk convertible and of course it was louder with the top up but still sounded great with the top down. |
