I like the black LED one, makes mroe sense to me. Dark car, dark tint, dark lights? No all you need are some rims with a nice +45mm offset to make a mean stance.

If you don't mind me asking, where do you get all your money? I wish I could just drop cash on all that stuff, but I'm nowhere near being able to do that at 19. I just dropped $540 on a clutch and flywheel.

Yeah, rims will come, but not for some time. As for where the money comes from, I work and make pretty good money, but I have been buying alot of audio stuff and reselling. Sometimes I make a little profit, but others I do take a loss. I actually need to start saving though so I can get my own place. I also try to find the best deals possible so I don't have to buy as much. My install would cost alot more if I had not done everything myself, what I have done has been over a period of time. The majority has been recent though.

Came across an issue just now. I wanted to hide the tweeter behind the a pillar. The mounting depth of the tweeter is fine but the grill cover is curved so it extends out. I can't figure out a way to mouth the tweeter from inside either so that it stays stable. I thought about mounting to the frame, but the frame is angled and if I were to mount it so that it's not angled, it would be hitting the a pillar and sticking out.

I think what I'm going to have to do is this

I guess my concern is the way the tweeter is pointing.

It would be aiming down like this and I assume that would mess with imaging.

I would have to extend it out quite a bit and it would hit the pillar and would probably extend out the hole that I cut out for it. Plus once the grill cloth that goes over the entire pillar is put on, it will look as though there is a little bump, and it might be better to just top mount the tweeter over the pillar.

Here is the gap.

The pillar is slightly angled pointing down, but not nearly as much as the frame, so I think I would be fine with that. I'll see what I end up doing.
