First off i just got a 2000 Audi A8. i just traded for a touchscreen dvd player as my new deck but i also sold all make tools of bass making....so ive got a list of stuff i wanna do to the car but im not sure where to start for my first upgrade.

1. The car has 0 tint on any of its windows and i dont feel good with leavin the touchscreen just chillin there especially in some of the neighborhoods i park in. lowlowbass would know what i mean. I was thinking of doin 25% on the driver/pass and 15% on the back 2 and rear.

2. 1 MAW 15 getting 600rms in 3.7 cu ft. tuned to 28 hz and the amp

3. 13 inch crossdrilled and vented brake discs with new race pads for the fronts and a new k&n intake.

input?

I prefer all the tint to match.

around here 5-0 gets mad about dark tint tho. most of the people i talk to around here go with closer to legal fronts so that the driver can be almost seen instead of just blacked out. what percent were u thinkin for all 5 then?

If you dont wanna go 5% then do atleast 20. They usually wont pull you over for that. Its still illegal, but will usually only give you a ticket for it if they pull you over for something else.

28 hertz is some low tuning. Why not go with 32-34 for some output?

a8 , nice car , what yaer?

i would do tinted windows with 21" rims with a sweet loud sq setup.

im not gettin cheap tint..the shop has been in business for 17 years and is probably the best in the city. its a 2000 and its black. rims might come in awhile but definitly not anytime soon. ya sq is definitly my goal here as it already has the bose system in it. i believe the recommended tuning for the MAW 15 is around 31hz? i know id gain output by raising that a lil but output is not what im going for. i was originally going to get a 10" but i want very low frequency bass. i want about the volume of the 250rms 10" but with lows that are amazing..i see the brake and intake upgrade hasnt gotten many votes..

in any ways... i consider an A8 a cruise car more than a tune car/go fast car...

i would go for nice looks and a nice system, 5% in the back and 20% up front and drop it about 1 inch
