I did some reading on Helix pro/comp series, sounds like nice stuff. How's the audio difference? Night and day I imagine eh?

Hey all,
The setup is 2½ way. The front 2way system run as a normal 2 way, and the extra woofer run to app. 200Hz to give the extra punch.
Sound differance :-)
OH YES! There is night and day, the 4 Helix woofers punch more bas than the stock woofer in the rear parcel shelf, ane the tonality is not only more rich and compleate, but also much more stable at any sound level.
This was one major upgrade to the car!

The audio is crisp and has alot of depth. The bass is insane and I haven't changed the woofers in the back yet.
I can crank up the volume without worrying if i'm going to blow the speakers or not(I was woried about that with the stock speakers).
Thinking of getting this as well, just to tweak the sound/speakers to perfection:

What do you think Kev? Should I go for the amp?
I'm already pleased with the sound quality so far

All I can say is that the sound is way better and has more depth.

That's awesome man, I'm really happy for you! And as for the amp, he'll ya, go for it! Don't don't anything half assed 
If I ever get all my bloody pending projects done I'd love to do another sound system but I'm getting a little old for that now I guess.

Hey guys, I finally had some time to pull the trigger on a mod this week, I just wanted to let you know the car is going to the exhaust shop on thursday for quad exhaust setup
The exhaust shop are the ones that will cut the bumper, so fingers crossed they won't mess up the bumper. There aren't any body shops near me that could cut the bumper for me.

Well this is a bad day. Took the car to the exhaust shop about 30 min ago just to be told that they we're 3 cars behind and didn't have time for mine...
I was going to tell them to F off since I had taken time of from work to get this done, but since it's the only shop in my area that will do this work I had to reschedule a new time and give them an angry look. Til wednesday!!

I'd like to see that angry look of yours Mike, I think you're too nice of a guy to pull one off thats very convincing 
Seriously though, waiting is the name of the game on this 209 board it seems

But I did get angry inside thoughI've been really stressed lately and just have this thrown in my face on top of everything else I have to do is not good.

Got the quads done today. I'll post pics tomorrow. It was too dark when I picked the car up.
It has an unbelievable drone from 2000rpm and up and I didn't change muffler or delete the resonator. At 70mph It sounds like a subaru wrx with a rocket muffler... Will post pics of the setup tomorrow.

Alright dudes, got the quads done, but the drone is way too lound at 70mph or 2000 rpm and higher.
It sounds like a pimped out civic.
The tips do stick out little bit more than OEM setup but that's the way I wanted them.
The right side isn't 100% alligned up yet. That's the hard part but I'll get it done...
