So how common are the 8's back in Minnesota. They are a dime a dozen on the island. The 3 local dealers usually are sold out before cars even arrive. However this is the only car i have owned that i truly love driving.

RMS = 200
AMP Spec:
50X4 watts RMS continuous power into 4 Ohms with less than .05% THD from
20-20 KHz.
100X4 Watts RMS continuous power into 2 Ohms with less than .10% THD from
20-20KHz

I got a quote from local body shop and custom paint shop to paint and install my kit for my 8. Right at about $1,100 for painting, installation, labor, and materials. That covers the front and rear bumper replacement, side skirts and spoiler.

Mount it in the sink part of the trunk and build a false wall with a fan to cool intake and exhaust the heat produced by pushing that massive inefficient Rockford heatsink.

Depends on if you want to totally drown out your Greddy 
The datasheet on these subs is here: http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/libra...12_2812-ts.pdf
Manual is here: http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/libra...oofers-man.pdf
Truthfully one would be plenty, but then I used to have a 15" HiFonics Generation X DVC in my Neon. That system could hit 145db. Talk about overkill.

me=clueless on this one

Those XLCs come in 4 or 8 Ohm
Champa should be fine running both of them off his amp because it is actually an 8 Ohm that he has.
I installed LEDs last night.
Brake lights are just as bright as the stock bulbs.
Flashers are bright but don't reflect off the chrome as much as the stocks.
Did the load resistors for the flashers too.

I was referring to the amp but you may not want it showing. Stealth is king most of the time. I am going to get rid of the sink and install the amp under the false floor.
A box is the easiest unless you want to fabricate them into the corners. I would have but I golf.
