Hey! I bought my baby, a Black 2006 Expy, in December, and have since completely redone the audio on the inside. I'm now working on the exterior lighting, and I could use someone's help on photo shopping certain head/tail lights to see how certain ones would look. Anyone interested? I'd greatly appreciate it! Shoot me an email at [email protected]!!

Hey thanks for the cool site man! I like how you did the custom box in the back to work with the seats both up and down. Definitely a sweet ride. I just did almost the exact same thing to mine today. I put 2 12" Rockford Fosgate P3's with a Rockford T600-4 Amplifier and Stinger 5-Farad Capacitor. The box is bolted to the flap behind the seats so it rolls with the seats moving.

Yup i agree 5f is a little overkill, but not a bad thing at all. I do have to say i upgraded my battery to a gel batt and i dont have any "light dimming" issues without a cap even when i turn it all the way up and put the amp in protect, i told the dude at the battery shop (battery warehouse) what i was running and he hooked me up, my system runs about 800-1000 watts rms

Well I bought the 5-Farad a long time ago at a really good price for my Ford Explorer and kept it since then. I knew it could handle A LOT more than the 1,000w, but I figured since it still worked well and looked good that I'll put it in with the system haha. I'm trying to put a photo of the system on there, but apparently it's too big of a file.
