I'm not sure how much it is helping, but I figure that is better than nothing. 99 Sport ATX 1 owner, 94k Mobile 1 since 1k Mods:Sony MD Player, Sony XA-300 expansion unit, Sony CD Changer, XM Radio, 350Watt Alpine Amp, 2 10" Subs, Remote starter, glow gauges, K&N filter,OMP Front STB, SVT Exhaust(no res.)
