Seems like every time, I have money for stuff for my new system, things break or need to be replaced on my car. Today, my sub decided to die on me. Time for a new sub.

i know how it is man. everytime you have money, it seems like something always fails on you. just had to replace an injector on my car couple of weeks ago, fun times with that. but good luck gettin everything fixed. i also saw the gps, kind wish i had one, but store maps are fine by me.

formerly known as Blue86f150

its a 4th order just because its tuned in the 40z doesnt mean it wont reach down and jiggle your balls at sub 30 hz frequencies.

Regardless if they were dipped platinum and were stuffed in Beyonce's twat.....way too fucking exspensive

Update:

Bought the car back from the person I sold it to. The car was not running when I bought it back and the system was stolen while the car sat in front of his house. After a few parts replaced and fixing some stuff the car is running again. Still need to do some more work on it and replace some parts and she will be good to go. Here are pictures as it sits right now.

Tomorrow, if my friend doesn't get called into work, we are heading over to put on the new oil filter, new drain plug and oil filter. Then fire the car up again and hoping nothing goes wrong. After that doing some cleaning and installing the lower dash.

Car is running again after changing the oil, oil filter and hooking up the battery. But the car has been put on hold again due to my ankle injury, the car needs some more parts to be able to drive on the road again and being on limited funds cause of work comp.
