That is my shop. www.warriorautoworks.com Don't laugh, we are working on the site.

As far as mounting them on the sides, you can do it, but it requires fibergalss work. I originally in '97 had a single 10" mounted in a custom FG box and the amp rack sitting above the factory changer on the left. The problem with mounting 2 subs and pointing them at each other is that they can sometimes cancel frequencies out and then might not sound that good. If you can help it, don't point them at each other, let them work together if you can.

Thank you for the advise, I'll mount them in a box in front. What is a good box to buy and where is the best place to mount the amp(s)?

I checked the sight, nice shop you guys do amazing work. I wish you could have worked on my 89 Jetta, any ideas. Pics are posted on my mmembers rides post. Believe it or not the guy that wrecked it is part owner of a car customizing shop here in town. Shows the quality of work they do.

We have a couple more project coming up soon, and hopefully we will get the site updated soon, also. Up next is a new motor for the yellow Eclipse(400+ HP), finish the camaro project (900+ HP), a full car audio cometition system in a 2001 Corvette, and more!

As far as mounting amp, put where it will fit, has easy access to settings, and won't get hot. BOxes all depend on which subs youare runninng, and you want to match the required airspace of the sub to the box, and also decide if you want a sealed or vented enclosure. Any idea which subs you are lookin at?

No I do not know much about them, right now I have one 12inch but I do not remeber the name, I just wanted a little more bumpo in my trunk but I hate when the whole back end rattles it sounds terrible. I';d just like to hear from outside the car a little bit. What are good subs to get, I'm not looking for competition just good sound, should I get an amp for my speakers too? I do not have one now, only one for the sub.

If I'm ever in Missoulia could I come look at your shop, it looks very cool. I'd like to move to missoulia, how's the job market? I'm either looking at transfering to the Lowe's there or getting back into a dealership like the VW one there I'm one the fence and not sure which way to go. how is the job situation there?

Well without info on the subs. it is hard to recommend anything, you know? As far as amplifing the front stage I would say do it for sure, but without info on those also, I can really give you anything.

As far as the job market, we do have a Lowe's ( I can practially see it from my house!) and I know the VW sales manager at 4Seasons VW here in town. He has actually posted here, he goes by VWmanager I beleive. I am not sure how the pay structure works at Lowe's but if they allow you to keep your current pay when you transfer, and it is more than thier prevailing wage, you should be okay. "cause I forgot, where are you now?

I'll have to try to get a hold of him. I would rather work at a VW dealership. But if I could get into a manageriual job at Lowe's I'd do that too. Hopefully I'd make more than I do here in Fargo, I'm just a regular sales associate here right now because I have not been here long enough, but I'm going to put a year here in this store before we move just so it looks like i'm putting in the effort.
How is the housing market in Missoulia, are houses super expensive a medium priced house here in Fargo probably starts at $150,000 and goes up from there but I'm not really sure.
I'll try to talk to the sales manager and see if I could even come for an
interview.

I'm waiting to get into the managerial training program here with that I should be able to transfer anywhere. i'm putting the Montana stores at the top of my list. I'm jsut afraid the house prices are too coming high there. I want to buy a nice house and not have to rent.

Finally, after about oh, I don't know 2 YEARS I got the amp rack trimmed out. I have all you wonderful guys in Billings to thank for that, as I figured that i would not be ballin' if I went to the all euro car show lookin' all ghetto!
