ToneDeaf2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 Purely because of the price, I would love to drop in like 12 12's for shits and giggles. It obviously wouldn't compare to whats out there now but I think a ground-pounding sony car would be kind of cool. Just because you didn't use the expensive stuff. I just cleared my suv out in hopes of getting 6 vvx 15's and a 2500 ordered before christmas. Ground pounding on a budget with Skar!
