A great day to wash the car! Pics of '99 Pro. 56k = moderate death.

1999 Protege LX
I gave my '99 a bath today and decided to take some pics. I know I will get flamed for having clear tails and no rims, but oh well. I plan on getting rims this summer when I begin work. It's hard to be 17 and have 2 expensive hobbies (my other is guitar). So far, my sound system is complete, yet still ever-changing. Currently running an Aiwa HU, Xplod "1000w" amp, 2 12"s, including a Pioneer (loud) and Xplod (deep), Rockford Fosgate Punch 6x8s (front) and 6x9s (rear). Oh yeah... I took the Audiobahn decal off, now that I'm not using them anymore, but still kinda funny to see in the pics. The soonest thing I will do performance-wise is have my CAI and Mazdaspeed Protege muffler installed in a couple of weeks. Anyway, hope you enjoy the pics.

:eek: 2 different subs?
 
holy crap....chicken wire grille....altezas....2 different subs....is this a joke and photoshoped? Ouch man...that car deserved the wash...
 
Sorry fellas, I like the altezzas (braindead those were one of APCs early ones without the red reflector. Wheels would make a dramatic difference, 17's or 18's IMO.

Hell, at 17 I had a car that barely passed inspection.
 
WTF 2 diffrent subs sharing the same air space, and 1 of them is crooked, WTF...

I think I am the one who should be saying "ouch" after reading that. Thanks for your input.

The reason I have 2 different subs is because I thought that if I combined a louder, less deep sub with a quieter, deeper sub, I would get great results. The Pioneer is very sensitive, but does not hit very deep. The Xplod, on the other hand, isn't as loud, but can handle the low frequencies very well. I combined the two, and personally, I like what I hear.
