Default Rimshots install for a friend MANY PICS
Hey guys, I was finally able to convince a friend of mine that she needed a stereo system . This is an EXTREMELY budget conscious install but I wanted her to have very good equipment as well. A few Ebay auctions later this is what she ended up with:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN:IT&ih=006
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN:IT&ih=006
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN:IT&ih=013
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN:IT&ih=011

The front separates are going to remain stock for now until she gets her monies together to get a nice component set. Onto the pics

Nice work.

How much weight did you add to that trunk?
