going to try and get it sitting a little lower, but does the job. looked awesome with the post protectors, and down markers on for the game on Sunday.

i know it all needs covering, but i didn't have the time to do it (nor the material) I just wanted them fitted!!!

Sub will be screwed to the floor eventually

sounds so much better than the singular driver's side 6x4 speaker that i had before, but still need to set it up properly (any tips?)

Any comments good or bad appreciated, I'm a big boy now.
