Well guys, it's that time again, a new issue of Project ActiveTuning

This time we do the entire sound system. I actually split it up into three seperate issues:

- Part 1: Headunit & XM Radio- Part 2: Speakers- Part 3: Amps/Amp Rack/Fiberglassed Sub Enclosure

The issues include over 100 pictures, and DETAILED how-to's for installing all of the above things. So, even if you aren't trying to fiberglass a system in your car, but just want to learn how to install a headunit or speakers, read the issues!

Anyways, check them out, and let me know your thoughts.

doesn't look too bad.

how much weight did it add and how does it sound?

I'm betting sound is really goo in the Z due to the big glass in back.

Weighs about 150lbs. Sounds awesome for 1 12" sub. But yeah, being a hatch definitely helps ;)

damn, that's way too much weight though...

btw, I'm more of a go then show.

150 extra pounds isn't gonna help in the go department:D It does look really good and matches the paint though.

Sounds good, thanks :)

We actually designed it to be taken out fairly easily. 10-20 min of fairly easy work, and everything except the wires are out of the car ;) So if I did want to go to the track, I can take the weight off without much of a problem.
