Ya, I think we have a coupple good SPL vehicles coming out is a dealer or two. They will be using a SPL/SQ driver but I think that it will still do very well. ---

I’m not really into SPL, also more of a SQ guy and I love tinkering with my setup. As I’ve aged, my preferences in system choices have changed somewhat. Space is an issue in the trunk of an s14 so I took the spare tire out and made a fiberglass mold that mates with a flat top. The top lays flush with the elevated floor portions as if the original floor was still in. I put a single Energy 10 that fires directly upwards towards the rear deck. I’ve tried to maintain the stock appearance as much as possible so I’m still using the factory double din head unit as well as the factory Alpine amps. I’ve also tapped the clarion line-in feeds to signal the amp that powers my sub. I’ve replaced the speakers with 2ohm JBL’s and for a system that you would otherwise never notice, it sounds amazing. Next task is to piggy back the tape deck line-in with an Aux-jack for Ipod hookup. excuse the off topic post but its not often people talk about this stuff. ---

I agree, I do wish audio was a bigger part of this club. Mind you I guess I should get enough of this everyday at work. ---

^^ totally agree… some forums have a section for audio but I guess it’s not big enough for this group? To get my fill I spend some time on the CCA… but it’s meh sometimes, [splshows.com](http://splshows.com) is also good ---
