I had the opportunity to listen to Dave's Neon. It is a very good sounding car. he would give anyone a run for their money.
I know Goalie 35 says his car sounds good, but I've never heard it, so I cant comment.

good point, all i can see is the poor lighted video.. and as everyone knows in person is way different then on camera...

I don't want bief but from 8-10seconds in I can see what goalie_35 sees. The grilles are too proud of the dash and have an obvious crease in them. The dash to the lower left corner of the passenger grille has a flat spot and it is highlighted by the lighting.

I'm not picking on the car, hell my dash is bone stock, but the *best* will be put to task..

I have had at least 30 mins of seat time in this Car, maybe more. Its hard to get me out of a good sounding car, just ask Fozz.

I never seen any issues with the dash at all, maybe this was changed since I was in it last, or maybe its just the lighting. I am not sure.

This is easily one of the best sounding, and put together cars around... PERIOD!

Cool, there's one in my driveway.

I like the location of the fuses, that's very practical.

Are you's talking about the "/\/\/\/\/\"-looking dash? They don't look even, is there a reason?

yes please inform us on his hybrid and arc audio gear, because as we all know its the amps that make a system sound great..
for you young kids. we have had this going on for yrs. to win at iasca you had to run the flavor of the yr gear... first it was ppi amps mb quart m/t and jl audio subs.. then it was rockford amps and kicker subs. then it was pheonix gold amps with boston aqustic speakers.. now the flavor of the yr is hybrid. arc.. i dont hate hybrid or arc. just the stupid comments like my arc made my system sound better, or my speakers are the real difference in the system.. amps dont have a sonic character to them. ask any engineer.. everyone of them says they dont, but the normal everyday people that buy said amps say they do.. well after working with an amp engineer i can saftly say amps have no noticible to the human ear signature sound.... and as far as choice of speakers.. its been well documented that placement is way more important than the gear, its nice to start with good equipment, but great gear installed poorly will sound worse than junk put in correctly.. so is arc a good amp? yes good build quality, sound design, good parts inside, and reliable.. i have looked at the pc board and like the layout and components used, is hybrid a good speaker, yes does alot well there is worse and there is better. the reviews by the pros are mixed but thats to be expected.. i have said it befor and i will say it again.. your small group jason, gilian, john, louis, all have cars built so well that you can drop in any reputable brand of speaker, and any amp and it will still sound wicked..
now as far as going to sbn thats a week off work, and around 10k to due the show.. thats why i wasent down there last month, and i bought two skidoos, but i plan on being there next yr.. my car competes against daves neon and mazda, and beats them, against bills altima. and kieths bmw. without hearing my car and seeing the install all comments should be reserved untill seen and heard.. just a courtesy call...
