Should be a fun install. I still think the 68-69 side fins look the best, looks like a B-29 love the parts stacks!

Kenwood component speakers $50

The ability to drown out the nagging passenger telling me to slow down, or turn down the music........................ Priceless!!

Yeah, I haven't figured out the best way to secure the sub without screwing any more holes.

But thanks!!
