i agree with these guys..i think its awesome she see's the potential and is helping... Most women want the vehicles nice as soon as the get them and dont want to have to work on em.

I don't miss the times I had a gf that was into car audio. Stoopid bish made me spend more on her shit than mine! Never again..........never!

My wife hates the audioz shit! I am a happy man. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

lol mines not really asking for anything I'm just kind of buying it for her. Its not going to be very loud but should sound good for what she likes. For now we are running 5 1/4" infinity's in the doors and 6x9" infinity's in the rear. I have them hooked up to a kicker zx550.2 just to see how it sounded, they will eventually be run off a zx350.4.

The one thing I don't want is for it to become one of those hacked up boyfriend jobs that comes into my work all the time. I want it to be clean, decent looking and sounding. Shes never really had anything nice to drive, not saying that this is but its something that she and others can kind of appreciate.... lol

*edit* I guess I already said whats going in it. oh well

haha nope to the truck, sold it for four times what I paid for it, even being unfinished. The girl is staying with me. I was doing this all in the garage of a house that my parents were building until my dad said I couldn't anymore because he wanted to store a car in there... and I dont have a garage to paint it in so I told him he could have it, well I guess he thought I was kidding so it sat outside with the windows out of it for a few months and got very wet. Eventually someone offered to buy it so I sold it.

I'm not sure if I mentioned this but the explorer was her valentines day gift, and I sold it.... sooooo I had to make it up to her, so I picked up a 1999 acura 3.0CL thats in good condition. Shes already planning the system for it, so I will probably do some sort of build log about it. And I know that the acura isn't the greatest car ever but its a nice car for its time, complete opposite of her old honda, this thing has heated leather seats, heated mirrors, automatic climate control, an auto (she isn't missing shifting the old honda), she likes the v6's power, has good paint unlike the civics. Overall were both happy and I picked it up cheap at $1500.
