^depends on what you want. sound/looks or speed? also, if you get a removable setup you get the best of both worlds

^Very true, But in my opinion, i think the stock system is loud enough. And since he's 16, he should worry about driving his car and paying attention, not blasting his music, which will distract him.

yeah how about you put that money into some driving classes? i mean your young and your chances of getting in an accident cause of inexperience is a lot higher than most people with rx8s. oh and first get an rx8 then see what you really want.

^Before you go posting other questions like, Which intake should i get? or... Does an exhaust really make you go faster? you need to search. All of the questions have been answered, so just read the stickies, and learn everything you can about the car, before you buy it.

I'm not a big audiophile but more of weight reduction freak. However, I wanted a decent bump on my tunes during long trips.
I found the JVC CS-BB2 to be the perfect compromise.

i agree with you. now days, loud music is the cause a lot of the accidents. people listening to their music and cant hear their surrounding.

dont ever think you are a good driver when you just start driving. and IMO you are not very in to cars, which i think you are not a very good driver. why? the first thing you ask about a rx8 is subs, and sound system. i mean thats the first thing you ask lol. then cold air intake, i mean im sure everyone knows that term now after fast and furious the movie. but its just very childish and a silly comment.

dont have to take it personal, but i dont think rx8 is your type of car.
