i dont really need to but if i have extra cash that i have lying around i might buy new rims for it although i probably wont right now just cause the car and soundsystem are more important then rims.

Honestly, I dont think any of those are worth the price.

You dont need a $1000 sound system for it to sound great. My friends got a deal for dual 10" subs for around $100 at best buy, a Pioneer amp for around $80 on sale, and new pioneer speakers for about $80 a pair. They sound extremely good, with great mid's and lows, and very good bass (both in quality and loudness).

It seems like your just blowing money away by buying things you dont need. Why not spend $200 or so and at least upgrade the video card on your computer?

i was thinking of getting this sub right here
http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Kicke...oductDetail.do

what brand were the subs he got and how many watts were they. i have no idea what amp to get or anything else and are these subs good or are there better ones out there that have a better deal then these. ill probably wont upgrade the videocard on my computer cause the only game i really play is counterstrike source and that i can play on high settings so i think ill just stick with my X300SE for now and upgrade to directx 10 when it comes out with vista.

Those look like very good subs, just make sure you get an amp that supports it, otherwise your loosing alot of power. And with that sub you most likely will need to get a capacitor, unless you want your headlights and other electronics to dim every time the bass kicks in.

This is what my friend has, this is a slightly newer model but basically the same thing. And there 12" subs, not 10" like i thought: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1138084656549
