Most definitely. Like I said, if we find a stereo business that wants to do a custom install as part of a sponsorship, then we'll go with the full-blown 1000 watt+++ system.
But on my dime
we'll be searching for a solution that integrates with that amp/crossover Monsoon thing otherwise I'm looking at installing two amps or one amp and four crossovers and most likely all new speakers. I'm not an audiophile and would prefer to spend that money on EIP's
.:R32 stage 2 turbo kit - unless THEY are looking to sponsor a model.
On another note, the custom pre-amp isn't functioning... so I'm testing it to find out why... news as it develops.
EDIT: The pre-amp was working just fine. We were looking for a higher gain than it could provide. Nonetheless, we didn't need it after. Details to follow in next post.
