    I helped my bro in law install Dobinsons bushing/leafs a few weeks ago, he took off his medium duty Dakars because they were squeaky as all get out and he tried everything to stop it. For the record I've had 2 sets of Dakar CS047R and have had no issues with squeaking. I wouldn't hesitate to use Dobinsons, the quality looks great and my bro in law is happy with them....

    What box are you using? I'm going back and forth between the 10w1 and 10w3 myself.

    Some really cool shit
    I like JL sub. I have this one for my access cab. Should have gone with a bigger one, but really, my biggest issue is I need more power. Plus this one fit the space just right.

    I have the JL 10TW3-D4 in a box I built and it’s great! Also have the JX500, plenty of power and great bass. Went with the C1 components front and rear, very happy with the system

    I went with the box from Supercrewsound. A lot of folks here go with Mr. Marv boxes, but he's at times difficult to get a hold of and he's backed up. The supercrewsound box was priced right and got within a few days. I went with the 10w1 because it's made for smaller enclosures and the box I used was sealed. The 10w3 is used in the stealthbox and I'm sure it's high quality. I imagine you can't go wrong with either.

    Sure is lol. Way too much for what I'll be doing but what the heck. Shields the Fumoto valve from things so that's a win for me.

    Yeah I haven’t updated it, I originally bought the TW1 but never installed it and I exchanged it for a TW3. When i bought the TW1 cartoys didn’t have the TW3 in stock so i just settled, but 2 days later they called me and said they had the TW3 in stock

    i have driven it quite a bit in the last few days since installing, and my first impression is it has a slightly firmer ride (sits 1/2"-5/8" higher) and I would say it has a more dampened feel, like when you hit a bump the suspension is quicker to stabilize.
