Well, figured my first post should be a good one...
Here it is...
The Car:
'98 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
A few pics of the trunk contents...
Single Infinity Kappa 10" Sub. in the trunk. It may look small but this thing hits like a 12 while still sounding tight like a 10. Crunch Drive V 600W 4Ch., and 150W 2Ch. bridged mono to 250W pushing the Sub. All Stinger wires. You might have noticed the little computer power supply to the left of the sub...well, we'll discuss that down the page a little bit...
The Fans glow blue and turn on when radio turns on. The AMPs glow blue as well. Looks pretty cool at night.
The rest of the "standard" setup consists of a Pioneer DEH-4300 head unit, Infinity Kappa seperates up front, and Infinity Kappa 6 1/2" Composites in the rear deck.
True it's not the only carputer ever put in a Grand Prix, BUT it's the only one I've seen that fits in the arm rest...
