    I used to have a kill switch under my steering column. It would be on the remote wire and would kill the amp in case a police officer would pull me over.

    I'd be rich working for a chop shop. I figure I could gut most cars to the unibody in a day without damaging anything.

    Ha. My senior quote is "never admit to anything"

    Seriously. People always try and trick you into snitching. I've never fallen for it yet.

    only kills the bass.

    cop pulls up next to you, thinks your stereo is too loud. asks you to turn it up to see if it was you.....no bass!

    If the penis isn't amplified you won't be able to stick it in the submissive.

    kicker made really good amps in the 90s and ok amps in the early 00s. ive lost track of the industry since about 2010. i didnt know jbl had a 20" sub. you can fit 2 of those in a focus? have any idea on the model number? most 20" subs would require a massive box. If i can get the model number i could read the T/S specs and get a rough idea about how big the box should be and whether or not they'll preform better in a sealed or ported enclosure. I cant see fitting more than 1 20" sub sealed in a trunk though. properly tuned boxes are going to yield better results than just cramming as much sub as you can into a box that's too small.

    They might be 18s, been a while since I've looked at them. But I know the box fits in the trunk. I can give that info tomorrow.

    I had a JL Audio 12W6 dual voice coil sub in a sealed box with a PPI amp. Shit was bumping.

    Used to have 2 JL Audio 12W1s but the W6 sounded so much better in a smaller box.

    Good. Won't ruin the usefulness of a hatchback.
