Specs:
first of all, welcome!
i live in belmont and go to school in Menlo Park. I may have seen your SVT recently, were you on el camino near blockbuster and ralston yesterday? Also, I saw a black one today in redwood city. 2 svts in two days!!!

anyway, here are some suggestions:
1. frys is currently selling the sony cdx-m6000 for 249.99 (its usually 349.99) look at the post earlier in this same forum
2. another option is buying from www.ubid.com : i got this complete system for $611 (msrp 1200+!) new w/warranty
a) jvc el kameleon lx-30 hu (179)
b) rockford fosgate fnq1514 component system (129)
c) rfosgate 6x9 3-ways (45)
d) 1 farad capacitor (34)
e) 5ch 800w mtx amplifier (189)
f) 12" rf sub (35)

this is a really good system!! but if your just looking for some basic upgrades you can get it at ubid too and pay less than 250!. the best thing is that unlike other internet sites, ubid.com gives warranties thru the manufacturer. before you bid make sure u check whether its new or refurbished

as far as installation, im in the same boat as you. here are some places im thinking of:
1. good guys (just install, don't actually buy anything from there...they rip you off), monney car audio, auto sound and securtiy (smaller shop)

hope this helps, welcome to the group!

I'm for sure going to make it to the meet next weekend...the more I hang around on these boards the more I realize that I could use some new foglights, maybe a new shift knob--guess I need to start workign some OT!

Definitely--although I'll be in Tahoe this weekend.

Do either of you guys work out at the Foster City AC? I parked next to a silver/blue SVT with tint a couple of weeks ago...

specs...sooo funny, that was me. thats why i parked their. i was thinking about leaving a note to tell you about this group but of course i didnt. im at fc club everyday after work.

i was comparing your car to mine, specifically the height, with and without lowering springs.

i was thinking next saturday on the 10th when we go to the meet, all 3 of us could drive up their.
