Lookin' good, Sgt.

Soundin' good too, I bet.

How powerful is that Bazooka amp? I'm guessing 500W to drive that 12" sub?

yeah must sound gr8 i had 2 12"kickers in my last car.. there loud, just a bit too loud for my taste. i tried to go for the loud ghetto sound in my g35 but now i thinkm alpines sound more clean and light... less "ghetto"-- but im sure yours sounds great especially since theres oinly 1 sub unlike my g35 which had 2 ..

Sgt. i guess you took the same path as me as far as taking it to Circuit city... did they give ya good customer service? did you take it to aventura like u said ... or Orlando? I also took in my car to hardwire the cobra at Circuit city.. you do not need a Kit... They do it all.. The only thing is, when i took it, the guys said it would be very hard therefore they couldnt do it. i was upset because htye had charged me 30 bucks.. so they refunded me my money.. Luckily the installer told me he owuld charge me 20 buks under the table because he knew how to do it, its just that CC wouldnt cover the installation under insurance or w.e... i was confused also. The thing is with hardwiring radar detectors in X3 is that the power supply is always on... no matter what so you have to shut it off manually everytime you get out of the car.. But thankfully mine has an automatic shut-off after 30 minutes which is good enough for me. As for the vibration, i have it on velcro'd on my dash therefore it doesnt vibrate.. non of that suction cups crap..

bad resolution..sry you can slightly see the detector

yes it is a 360... well as far as i know i always catch the cops... never had a problem with it.. i also like it in front of my eyes while im driving.. i put it up top for a day and honestly, i would never look up or pay attention to it..
i guess its a personal decision..
