Is that your amp lit up? I see power acoustik. Those are 10"s or look like it. I wish I still had my system in. I put it in my DD. I have a box sitting in my trunk though.

those are swiss audio 8" subs hook up to the lite up power acoustik amp 460watt 2 channel.

the other amp is a 800watt 4 channel power acoustik hooked up to the power acoustik speakers PRs in the dash and KP in the doors and back for now.

metric audio 1.25 Farad cap needed with the BBK underdrive pulleys.


LATER MODS

power acoustik EQ since factory one is unpluged and then PR compent power acoustik speakers doors and the back. Then it should be done might acspoogeat the doors later.

Thanks for all the feedback so far hope you guys like it all work done at amerisport car audio in Amarillo,TX they also added these LEDS like a few months back. All 3 colors run to different switchs they do more stuff.

Id be getting some bigger subs. My 10"shiznit, but I like too much bass, that way I have to turn down the subs and amp. You live in Amarillo. Where is that from Dallas? I have family in Dallas and Im probably going back down there sometime soon.

Nice work.I really like the trunk.I had thought of doing my trunk floor like that with a compartment,but still haven't got around to it.The rear package shelf I think needs more work.Looks pretty "homemade" compared to the rest of the work that's been done with your system.

Amarillo is like 7-8 hours form dallas.

the alternator i want is the 110amp outta of the mustang foxbody cop cars anyone know about how much those are.

Those 8s where sitting in the shop for over a year i got 3 brand new and another custom box made for 2 for $130 plus in a city of 225,000 i got the only car with swiss audio 8" subs and after the speaker grills where painted they matched the power acoustik amps really well plus they don't weigh much and are rated at 150watt RMS and 300 watt MAX.

Im gonna put my 10" Rockfords back in my Cougar. Im keeping my AM/FM. Im gonna run my cabin speakers off of another amp. As far as lighting I think LED bars under the dash would be as far as I go on the Cougar. I plan on putting a Blue StreetGlow kit on my Sonoma this year.

i got 42 leds so far might add a few white or blue under the hood because i unpluged my hood light when i swapped hoods.

white underglow would not look 2 bad but i won't get that for awhile.

Finally got the leds hooked up to the amp so when the amp turns on so do the lights and the shne a little bit out of the port holes and i got a amerisport sticker put on since they did all the work and i bought everything except the 1.25 farad cap there and the 9 led lights i got at advanced for $9 on clearance only hooked up 8.

Do the leds make it look any better? or just a nice ways to spend a few dollars.
