Talking 600 watts, 4 speakers, and an 8 inch subwoofer

And believe me, you can hear it. The only downside is that the amp is hardwired and if the kill switch is not shut down it will kill the battery in an hour or two. I plan to use a second battery later, with an isolator.

The sub-woofer is under the passenger's seat, it is so powerful that it has to be turned down in intensity (seperated controls for each speaker/tweeter in the stereo unit)

The midrange 5" speakers are in the footboxes, the tiny 2" tweeters in the doors.. no room in the doors on a West Coast cobra , for large speakers, because of the steel frame pieces in there (By the way, the doors close like a 1950's caddy limo, with a beautiful positive SNICK sound)

The stereo is an Eclipse in dash cassette, with (2) 8 CD stacks in the trunk.. the cassette is not very powerful by comparison to the CDs.. the CD system can be clearly heard at full throttle.. but I do have the NASCAR turbo baffles, which really toned down the excessive sound of the sidepipes.
