i have the single kappa perfect 12.1dvq being run off a ref. 610a and the 4 ch in matching size (I forget the model #, 7420a?) all of which is most likely coming out soon in favor of new gear (still undecided)

Very clean. Makes me miss my JBO days.

Too bad you have that system in the rear. You could have remote located that battery and opened up a lot of options for the intake. Looks great though! What did you do to drop it? I had GC Coilovers and KYB GR-2's on my Cav and the ride was ****. Hopefully you started a bit later than I did once they had figured out the best setup on the org...

EDIT: Love the wheels btw!

well, the system is alot lighter then it used to be, so i had thoughts of putting the battery in the rear. but im using canuck motorsports springs that where designed for use on the older cavs with the 2.4, so the front sits higher then the back slightly. so i dont really want to take more weight out of hte front. tho adding the supercharger helped level it out. the rides pretty good, it helps that im using them with koni yellows. but back to the battery, i have plans on moving the battery tray back to allow for a better intake setup.

Sweet, keep us updated. You've done well. Very clean ride, which is what I respect. Good choice on the Koni Yellows. Nothing needs to be said about that except for they need to come out with them for the Cobalts already.
