  1. Who's got 6"s in there without cutting/destroying things?

    have got 6 1/4s in, had to cut out the kickpanel plastic speaker grill, and to retain the bonet release cut into the glovebox to allow to open properly - could avoid by having a rip cord style bonet release (way less effort than chopping up glovebox) or a more slim speaker

    have infinty reference's in, which i belive are on the bigger side

    could take some pics if u like?


  2. Hydrofoils is the next cool thing (aye Katalyst?) My mate who gave me the above links has built a hydrofoil surfboard and a 2m RC hydrofoil Cat. - way cool.

    This would be one awesome charter operation - f**k the ex-cup boats "experience" - get one of these and scare the hell out of your paying passengers. I'd drop a few hundy to go out for a few hours and wakeboard behind one of these.

    yeah Hydrofoils are kool - the little moths are quite a cool class

    would defnitly scare the pants of ppl - oh 2 have a mil or 2 to bring one down here!


  3. have heard rumors through work that theres guna be some major changes in the class, time will tell i guess!!

    would be kool to something like an orma 60 burning up the gulf thou!!

    have some video somewhere of a dude caining it on a single ski behind an orma somewhere, il try and dig it up

  8. bro pick a bolt near your amp, and make sure its part of the main body, sratch away all the paint (most important part) arond the bolt area, then bolt it with lug terminal betwenn car body and wotever the bolt holds to the car, and bolt up really tight

    and shuld be done

    also if u have a soldering iron tin the ends of your wires makes them better, also a good size cable helps aswell
