So how much better are the APs

I haven't tried the tweeters yet but the 6's and 2's are awesome. I'm not smart enough to say why they are better, they just sound better. The midbass is awesome. A lot of people run tweeterless using the 2" but I'm not going that far, I like having tweeters.

I'm not familiar with the w3's but if your winning competitions they must be doing something right, congrats !!

Time for an update on my new pillars. I worked about two or three hours for three days on them and got them ready to cover.

I ordered four way stretch vinyl to do the job. Unfortunately, I received zero stretch. I decided to try anyway.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out. To make it worse I decided to try the other pillar with some two way stretch vinyl I already had. That didn't work either.

This is how they looked after I pulled the vinyl back off. Kind of remind me of Freddy Kruger.

It took some time with Acetone and a green scuff pad but the glue did come off. Unfortunately the vinyl had pulled some bondo off as well. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

After a couple of hours of cleaning I got back to work on them. This time I added primer to make it easier to get the glue off if I screw up again, or whenever it's time to build them again.

Replacement vinyl should be delivered tomorrow.

Overall It has been a pretty good first couple of months competing. I have been to seven competitions so far in states including OH, VA, KY, and TN. I've heard a lot of very nice sounding cars and met lots of good people. I'm having a great time playing around in this hobby.
