Home Depot sells some Husky brand flourecents. They work great and are pretty inexpensive.

Good lookin on that info bruh. Imma check into in later. I found a few more setups on craigslist and will scoop em up this weekend. Seem pretty easy to wire. Ive got my two all wired and ready to install...

sick *ss foo love them epicenters what kind of subs u got ... what kind of music do u use the epicenter for?

Yessir!! Ive been an Audio Control fanatic since I was knee high to a duck. Love their products. I also have the Epic 160 thats goin in my Elco. Im running a single JL 13w7. I had 4 of em. Yep 4! But after hearing the single, I quickly sold 2 of em and kept 2. 1 is in the SS, and the other is still sitting in the box new. Bought em back in 2002 when JL dropped em. Never fired. I have 2 1000/1 JL amps to push em. I had this VW Jetta I built from the ground up. I wanted (2) 13w7's in the car ported and tuned at 18hz, and 2 in the trunk. Sold the Jetta and 2 subs. The single 13 inthe SS hits hard enought to make you throw up bruh. And that was without having the epicenter on. Box is small. I forgot the specs. Its tuned at 27hz. Thumps pretty hard. Clean sounding... Im into hip hop and bass music bruh. I also dig Bob Marley and any island style music. Prince too bruh. Love him(no h*) just dig the musical genius he is ya dig... Here's a few pics from waaaay back when I had the system put in. Its all sitting in the garage in pieces now. gutted everything..

Thanks again for checkin back fellas. I have a ton of updates, but my media card to the camera came up missing. No new pics yet. Been cleaning up the wack *ss re-wire job, and wiring up some of my gauges. Lookin good. I'll try and get something up soon. Thanks for checkin back..

Yep.. Man I had 4 of em and was gonna squeeze em in a VW jetta. I heard one play and was like "Oh Im good!" 1 is all I need! LOL! Hits nice. But those speakers are waaay overpriced. I have no idea what they go for now. Ive been out of the car audio scene for a lil while now. Imma get back into it soon tho....

Just got my hood hinges back from the chrome spot. Came out nice. I didnt want to take the plastic off ef em. Cant wait to get the Harwood 3 or 4" hood.

Came up on a chromed Tuff Stuff Master Cyl/booster setup and a March pulley system. The GMP serpintine system will be going on the Elco. Picking all that up after work in the morning. I'll get some pics up. Man I need to get this bad boy back on the road. LOL

Looks like the spring is still on the hinges. If your going to a fiberglass hood be sure to pull them springs off.
 
Great job the car is awesome i want to do some of those mods you have.

I can totally see why that needs to be done. Thanks for the heads up. I prob wont get one. One of my homies added a cowl to his stock hood. Came out ridiculously clean.

Thanks for checkin the old guy out!

Ok. Went and picked up the March pully and Tuff stuff brake booster/master cylinder setup. A lil elbow grease and they cleaned up nicely. The March setup has a clear coat or something on it. I will have these redone by a pro. The Tuff Stuff setup came back to life tho! Used a little turtle wax and now its blangin like a diamond...

These will set the engine bay off nicely once cleaned up, chromed and installed. Cant wai. Now its on to performance goodies. A Edelbrock RPM Airgap or equivalant, Roller rockers, new beehive valve springs, Mutha Thumpa cam, roller lifters and some other lil goodies. Not tryin to be the fastes. Just want a lil more getup and gusto. The 350 hp i have now spins the tires nicely. Nice torque and throttle response. Those few lil upgrades should make things a lil bit funner :wink:

Man pm your stall converter rating, gear ratio, and what motor that was originally and I can get you right.
