well if you are a installer then what would be your dream system? I have kicker looking at my car here to be a sponsored car for their company here in Germany.

I like the SS series they have but not sure past that what i would like o do as for subs and fill. Would like to also have trunk space Left when I'm done.

so any suggestions would be nice , They want the car to be a comp car so i can pretty much get nuts with it but in reality i want the car to be some thing that a working Joe could do with their car and still enter in to comps with it. I would like to have some bigger amps and also a cap for the bass. and have seen the Boston Car they did it was a 02 nascar Monte and it looks sharp but they weren't cheap either.
here is the big catch i need something that sounds good with all music to include country,rock and classical and rap also hip hop and dance .
I pretty much listen to it all but i tune everything to classical in the car.

so if you have any ideas let me know I'm open right now LOL

as far as the lighting i have thought of it to just trying to think of a Way to do it and make it look nice I thought about lighting it up along the bottom on the sides to allow some floor lighting. also thought about lighting up that cubby at the front of it with the same lights with some miors and or some small LED's something that wont get in the way of things that i put in there,
the other thing i would really like to do is light up the floor under the dash to make the car look better. my other lighting dilemma I'm having right now is weather to go with the LED,s under car kit of the neon,
ether way i have to get this going and soon.

LED would be the best IMHO... I've seen a couple of LED kits on ebay that change colors and are relatively easy to install.

I'll see if I could hunt down a link or two for ya.
