Awesome.....Are the amps going to get enough cooling in the 'hole'?

I noticed that on long runs that part under the floor can get quite warm because the exhausts run underneath.  You might want some kind of grille or PC type fans bolted on if it get's too warm - or keep the volume turned down.. :punk: :punk: :whistle: :rock:

I think JL rep (from what I understand) said the small HD amps would be ok in that location, if not looks like i'll use there warrenty he he.  Good point though i'll keep that mind :-)

the KWV3 have now also settled i'll get some pics of it, currently I'm enjoying the Van as opposed to the X6 lol

lol i dont mind i need something fun and this ticks all boxes which are:-

Too low so speed bumps are a nightmare!!
Funny coloured wheels
smoothed side door so you need to open it on the inside
cheap and cheerful to run and with a map your have about 140 bhp and 300 torque
no one else at BP has the same in the car park and it looks nice parked next to the BMWs, Mercs, Jags etc lol!

impractical yes.....but the grin factor is huge lol!

As always Mr K looks spot on. Sure it sounds pure. Look forward to seeing/hearing this.

Loving the stance aswell.

Also apart from the colour you've gone with, I like the Caddy too.

You better head up to the Cosford meet on the 27th sala. Bring Gie too.
