Default Back in the game...

I have been outta the game for about 4 years, just got a 02 SOM Ws6 with only 51k miles on it yesterday. Putting down 435rwhp thru an A4 with a 4000 stall. Here is a quick cell phone picture. I will post some more up once I get it cleaned up.



Also, on the way to a crawfish boil the drivers side sail panel speaker blows out. ( AC/DC at moderate volume) The head unit is an aftermarket Kenwood fold out dvd screen. If im not mistaken, the speakers are 2 ohm correct? What kinda sound will I get with a 4 ohm, 2-way 6.5 speaker? Eventually I will be adding a 4 channel amp to power the front components and the sails. (I will be disconnecting the hatch speakers.) I found these at Best Buy, any input on them? Im not looking to win any sound competitions, just have clear sound when I turn up my music. I listen to mostly rock, with the occasional Reggae or Country.

Thanks in advance guys. Comments on the car would be appreciated as well.

Clean car, always loved SOM WS6's.

Quick question, what did u use to paint the centers of the spokes? I have a set and was thinking about doing the same, just never pulled the trigger on it yet.
