Wes, does that affect your running time at all, or do you take your stuff out for dynos, etc.? I want to put a system in the S but I've heard it REALLY slows you down, any truth to that?

It depends on how you do it. I removed the "toolbox" and used that area for my box. Fiberglass on the bottom, and wood on the top. Then I removed the spare tire, and there are two 8" speakers in a small box there. So, mostly I removed some weight and replaced it. I haven't added a whole lot of weight. And, the SC makes up for it. I haven't had any problems with the system. I don't remove any of it when I go to the track or when I race. The system was designed with durability in mind. Some people go real flashy with their setups, then they fall apart at the track (ask Zerin).

You do know he has a Supercharger? Believe me, his S is not slow at all, but his Insight needs a little more torque.

Since i'm fixing to get a new head unit, what would be a good price for a 2002 Stock Head Unit? A guy has offered 100 dollars. So i'm seeing if this is a reasonable yet good deal for me.

I used a place on FM1960 and just west of HWY59 called "Expressive Audio" 281-446-5266.
We put some Focal 165K's and a Lunar Amp "LM40", and man what a difference. If you go to the shop, from the outside it looks more like a trophy shop, due to the awards they have won. Also if you want to, you can stay and watch them work, they do a great job.
If you want to hear the system, pm me and we can try and get together.
