Tints, she would love you for that, trust me on this one. laugh

Far as the sound I dont know, the girls I know isn't to big on sound systems but if she wants something louder I guess the sub is fine, but not sure on that one.

10" sub. I picked up the infinity dual coil 10" and a 900watt rockford amp and it's great. I can blast my rock music pretty good, but more importantly the sound quality is dramatically improved at lower volumes. Couldn't be happier with it. Doesn't kill your budget either.

If she's big on sound... are you sure she wants a sub? A set of components might be right up her alley instead of a sub.

she was sayen that she wanted a sub.... but i think i will let her pick out her headunit and then i will get her diffent speakers sometime.. components wont be for her because when you run components you need to get a 4channel amp to run them and thats alot more money ... if anything she will just get some 2 or 3 way speakers... she said she just wants a little more than stock bass... but i was thinken about tint .. the guy in town charges like 180 for the back 3 windows .... or i will go to bestbuy and get her somethen because i have 30 bestbuy dollors

$180? That's expensive. I'm getting my GP done for $75 from a coworker (used to do it professionally) and a guy with a tint shop next to work usually charges around $100 for all the windows.

About 100 USD is generally right. 180 USD? Dude, that's a bit high.

really.... i have no idea how much it should cost because ... he is the only guy that does it close to where i live .. he uses 3m tint and will fix it if there ever is any air bubbles or anything... but it should be around 100 or so for the back 3 windows?

I would say tint, people get bored with subs, they end up wanting more or less than what they have. Get the tint.

And it better be solid gold tint for $180.00

I paid $125 but it has a lifetime warranty and it is high end film.

No, $100 for all windows including a visor strip. Most places use a lifetime film as well, unless you specify something else.

Yah, I don't know why she paid that much, but I didn't pay, so whatever. Was down in the Tampa area.

i should call the tint guy tomarow and get his forshure quote.... get a quote for 2 cars maybe he will cut me a deal then too then i can also have an excuse to get myn done lol if the tint runs way to much i will go to best buy and see how i can spend my reward zone bucks lol .... because i think she wants her back 3 done and idk about a window strip.. its almost pointless for us to the front driver and pass. window because the % darkness that they allow for where we live is hardly anything you cant really tell the diffrence and the cops are really anal about it all .... i guess they have nothen better to do than give people dark window tint tickets..... but at least im glad i have a girl that wants stuff for her car ... because i actually know what im shoppen for then lol
