Well the reason I dislike them at the moment is the back left rim is actually an inch higher then the rest, so as of right now when I hit a bump that tire rubs the body....annoying. Not sure why they aren't all the same height I have to look into it. Just got it all insured and inspected ready to go today. I'll add another pic to this thread later, the guy actually got the rims off a Benz, and I have the Benz emblem pop outs(not sure what there called) that go in the middle of the rim as well.


Oh yea I started digging in the trunk checking out the speakers and amp/cd player and someone actually put the exact JL speakers in the car. Not sure if they're blown or not getting the right power as someone has a different amp/sub in here at one point. Sadly whoever installed the speakers in the doors messed the doors up a bit, definitely a ghetto installation.

Default CD Deck

Hey man conrats on turning your life around i know how hard it can be that is for sure. But the reason i wanted to reply to was to just give you a heads up on the Deck you are looking @ buying. 1st make sure what ever deck you buy that it has @least 3-Preout so you can set it up where you set F,R,Sub up. And look around @ some other decks IMO that have an actual volume ****. My friend works for a place called "Spade Kreations" (do some sick ** work www.spadekreations.com) here in cincinnati and he does alot of their audio work, and he storngly suggested me to stay away from the one without volume ***** cus in a year or 2 the push volume will most like give out or start working improperly. I ended up buying this one that he suggested.

Thanks for the tip, and yea it sound silly at first but a volume *** really does make a difference. I actually dabbled in car audio for a while, but I'm so out of tune with it right now I need a good refresher on the audio forums.

I feel sorry for anyone trying to pay for an SC that is young. Hopefully you'll be able to manage. Good luck and enjoy!

Yea they were taken off a Benz, I have the Benz center caps for them too, kind of looks funny with them on though. They're just too big, whenever I turn right the front left tire grazes with the body....annoying.
