    So im going to say stay away from 12's youll never have the room for a box big enough to make them sound good just get a two P1's and as far as a box goes id go talk to your favorite audio store they might be more money but they will know what will sound best and fit best..

    Nah Im not in any rush, just trying to think it out. And make sure I spend money on something that will work. Still getting my Honda system put together. My man got me subs an an amp for that. Just have to get a new deck and speakers. And it will be good to go. Gonna finish that next week probably.

    The truck will probably be a month or so. But its just so hard to know what to do. I dont know sound systems at all lol

    You could stop by the numerous cartons around for advice, but they probably won't help much. I want to say there is a store that specializes in car audio and security on evergreen way south of 41st street by a mile on the west side of the street. Might be farther south, but I want to say it is north of Madison.

    So decided I couldnt stand the ugly anymore. SO the Honda got a makeover. Still not done. But this is as far as we got last weekend. Tint this weekend and some subs and good stuff..... oh and maybe some pink :) Also going to clear coat next week. We decided it'd be worth it, just gotta wait till my next pay check.


    YES its rattle canned. I've gotten a lot of shit for that. but honesty it looks so much better. I don't wanna put a lot of money into this car. SO going cheap. It looks way better then before. At least I think so :) I did un-tint the tail lights. Have to sand them a lil more then clear coat them. Was tired of almost getting rear ended. The ppl who tinted them did a terrible job. There was NO light coming through. going to do a LIGHT coat of tint on them like I did my truck. Just to make it look better and not stand out so much.

    My buddy just plasti dipped his whole truck. I told him my friend will wrap it but he had him "dip" it instead for half the price. I told him dumb move but whatever floats his boat!!! It turned out real good but that shit won't last long.

    Where in WA you moving to? I'm only about a 6 hour drive from you and I can teach you what i know about beer drinking, which is to say cheap beer is nasty, and only good for slug bait.

    Middle of the state has Wenatchee area (Wenatchee, Quincy, omak, Leavenworth), then there is Ellensburg, Moses Lake.

    After that you are looking to one side or the other. Cost of living is a bit higher on the west side. I sold a house (2548 sq ft, 3.28 acres) in February in Lake Stevens (east of Everett) for $360k and bought he new house in Deer Park , north of Spokane (3000 sq ft, 10 acres) for $280k. I bought the Lake Stevens house about 3 years ago for $295k on a 0 down loan.

    What will you two be looking for in terms of jobs? Sometimes that determines more of where to live. Also, what type of place will you be looking for (apartment, rental house, buy house in city, house in suburbs, house in country on acreage)?

    She will be in the dental feild as for me i would love to find some Off road fab shop to work in but those are few and far between. I have my master cert. in auto repair and like 70K in tools so i could continue doing that but i might try and get hired on with what ever county im living in and try and pull some state retirement for when im old.

    Edit: though i do just about anything but computor repair Ive built houses befor, operated heavy equipment, done HVAC stuff I've been all over the work feild.

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    Keep in mind, the dental field here requires a lot more schooling. She needs to check into the schooling on it before coming here. Friends wife came from NJ as a dental hygenist and they told her she didn't have enough stuff.
