Thanks.

Very easy to put the seats down, it is all pressure fitted in there, so i can pop it out if i need to. I told them i need to be able to take it out and also not to lose too much trunk space. The sound quality kicks butt with these, very nice and clear.

From Car Tunes?
An arm, leg, and left ball.
However she is right, there work is top notch, so you get what you pay for.

Actually, I took a second look at it, its MDF, not fiberglass, so the price should be reasonable.

Icemaid-what made you go to Car Tunes, I know the guys at Sounds Good said you were in there a while back. Not that I'm saying it was a bad choice, hell when I wanted my alarm done, I went to Car Tunes as well. Just wanted to know if you had a bad taste in your mouth from your experiance at Sounds Good, so to speak.

One more thing, how do those Mille's sound?

My kid had her stereo installed at Car tunes and when we went to pick it up got talking to Stephan about car shows and he said they had been thinking about sponsoring a car for shows, so we sat down and worked out a deal. I had no problems with Sounds Good, nice guys there too, but Car tunes offered me a great deal.

I have the Hertz subs and amp and they kick butt!!!! Beautiful clear sound and kick out some great bass when i want.


King5, if you have your own equipment they will work with that and build you the type of set up that you want and it will be great quality.

icemaid, the car looks good! I saw your car last week or so on 152nd and you turned right onto 104th ave. I was the black Cobalt SS/TC that turned onto 152nd from 108th and was in the left lane when I passed you and turned left onto 104th. Whoever was driving your car, we both gave a nod and drove off. Car looks great in person!

If would all depend on if you just wanted them to just build you a box or if you wanted them to install and hook up, and the have no problem working with stereo equipment you already have. I believe their shop rates are $65 per hour which is pretty average, but the work they do is above average. The best thing to do is go talk to them, tell them you budget (if you have one) and see what they can do for you. I can tell you that you wont be disappointed, Stephan will work with you to get you what you want and can afford.

I love the fact that I hardly lost any trunk space and it is easy to take out if i need to, plus the amp is mounted up and out of the way.
