they sound pretty clear and have great bass for 10" subs. With a properly matched amp they sound amazing. Just make sure if you get them, you match the amp accordingly, and don't go by the peak wattage, only RMS.

many haters will tell you MA Audio sucks... but that's the people who seem to think anything that's not top-of-the-line is crap.

alright, change of plans

i'm not going with a 15g, i'm getting a T3 Garrett 42 trim
also, i'll be running a Tial 38mm external wastegate and putting in a Tial 13.05 psi spring, so I will not need a boost controller. My boost controller has been added to my for sale thread.

this car is great looking man
its a shame these cars are so rare and so expensive! not to mention the fact they usually are either extremely modded and nice, or rusted to death
i wonder, would it look better if you managed to put a bigger honda "H" logo on it? like the one on the new gen civics? i was thinking of trying it on my dad's but the badges are too expensive imo

thanks
they're not really expensive (bought mine for 2200, KBB $2400), just hard to find them that haven't been riced out to death or all messed up, or rusted out. Sometimes you see nice ones but most of the ones I see are riced out.

I met a guy at walmart who parked right next to my del sol. He had a del sol that he had restored to stock and put s2000 seats in and man did that car look great. it looked like it had just rolled off the showroom floor from 1993, besides the s2000 seats.

about the badges, i think a honda emblem as big as the new honda's emblems are would look out of place on the del sol.

i have s2000 special edition honda emblems on it right now, and if you want a close up go check out my picture album, which has a link to it in one of the first posts on this thread. it was like $40 total for both brand new OEM honda, but it was worth it. On the front one i just had to drill the holes in the bumper bigger, and in the back i removed the tabs from the badge and carefully just used the emblem's adhesive backing (the back one's whole emblem's backside has adhesive) to stick it on straight. luckily, i got it pretty much dead on straight and it worked out great. the adhesive on them is really strong and i would have to try pretty hard to pull the badge off the back of the trunk.
