That guy looks really legit. If you don't mind me asking, how much did a setup like this set you back?

hahaha, yea i know but the car drives pretty well stock and the stock sound system was just such crap that I had to invest in it first. But agreed, Stage 2 will be on with some kw's when it's time.
