just spotted a sub, amp and wiring kit on ebay...
not the best, 500watt sub with 350 watt and wiring kit, i offerd him a price (very cheap) and he said ok, and he just brought it to my house aswell..
will get that wired up 2moro hopefully, should add a little kick to the standard system i have now..

You might want to buy new torque bolts to put back in, as you usually wear away thwe lock tight thats in the thread when taking them out, not to mention sometimes there a bithch to get out initially, just be carefull as the heads and the threads are very soft

or just do undo the bolt's under the acctual seat, and not the subframes so you dont have fuck about with them two bolt's

well mainly just for the ground clearance, but ive been told that they make it alot louder which i didnt realy want, so ive also bought a new standard backbox, which will make it quieter plus they sit quite high
as for sounding a little more sporty im derestricting the airbox soon and getting a k&n panel filter to add with the exhaust note...
