Bah, I don't crank it up loud but my nieces/nephews love the bass. I get "turn it up" then they make sounds like the're talking into a fan. Caught myself trying from time to time when driving alone. "ahhhhhhhhh" :bigthumpup:

Here's mine. Megan's on factory suspension. Been on for a month now. Front is 2finger gap rear is 4. Was expecting a better drop since they are listed as full 2inch drop. Rear shot for the hell of it so people can see what the LED tails look like.
