[weshole]

I removed some other stuff in my car (some under dash bracing, spare tire, jack, etc...) to help offset that somewhat and I realized I don't really care if it adds a few pounds. I'm not going to be, nor do I want to be the fastest car in town. If I wanted incredibly fast 1/4 mile I'd build a 'Cuda or a Supra. If I wanted top handling I'd build an NSX, Elise or S2000. If I wanted a rally car, I'd buy an older 2.5RS two door and do a swap. If I wanted a drift car I'd build a civic (j/k added that to see who is paying attention...in reality I'd build a S14 or AE86). <u>Instead I decided to say Fck it, I'm building a car that I can enjoy!!!*</u> Because isn't that what this "scene" is all about anyway? Building what you like. I'm pretty happy to say that I have a daily driven show car that runs 12-13 second passes and can play ~140db (just guessing here) and also sports a true 5.1 surround sound system.

I dunno, I have sound engineers that I work with on a daily basis that always use the lowest price wire that still meets the minimum specs for their jobs...they swear up and down that you cannot hear a difference in wire. As do guys like David Navone, Richard Clark, Nigel Lowe, Tom Gazda, Dave Rivera, Alma Gates, Mark Eldridge, Derek Lee....you know, a bunch of nobodies in the world of car audio.

chuck didn't go to car audio school or anything, and hasnt been working in car audio for 10 years or anything, so please educate him more on this subject.
