no no. they subs were ex demo, only $10 per sub. couldnt beleive it, so i bought them,even if they only lasted a few weeks, $10 u cant go wrong.
so $20 for the two. i got the box of a mate for $40. so $60 for 2 x 12 subs in a box. and i got an amp brand new for $100 with bass control it hammers for a cheap setup to. my mates have subs and amps 3 to 4 times what i paid for. and mine sounds just as good,if not better
but i'll get some better gear later, but for now thry do thr job

hey guys. just thought i'd do an update,not that theres much to update the good old N12 is running good still needs a tune bad though. i saw '51CET' around today. down in town, down near the ekka showgrounds
anyways, so far just got new mags . 15's,steering wheel and boost gauge,it changes 7 different colours.and made up some new door cards,with fiberglass speaker pods and alloy window winders. i also painted my brakes,just ad's a bit more detail. there blue,better then crusty old yucky black colour.
and replaced all the intercooler pipe connecters and ignition leads and pod filter, all blue items. and made up a heat sheild with cheaqerplate. its blue and so is the radiator over flow bottle. also relocated the AFM and the battery to give the pod folter more air
might head out to willow bank next wkend ,meet a few of the qld lad's,maybe even run my car down the 1/4 mile,we''ll see

went out to willowbank tet & tune on wednesday for a few runs
managed a 16.974, which isnt that impressive, but it was my 1st time out and i only ran my car on 10psi.
but better 1/4 mile times to come. the next test & tune is on 6th april (good friday) so ppl get the day off. so some of the QLD lad's should go out for a few run's
i probably make it uot there,see how i go
