They are. If you click the link in my signature you can see the lights I already have from them. Would be under my build thread.

Yeah it is a bit of a work in progress for a few little things. Probably wont do much more to it though. Already working on the next truck which is still a few years down the road. Would like to get this one paid for first. Lighting would be good to add since it can go from vehicle to vehicle.

That I can agree on, that's why I like sound systems as well, even if I install one in a car or truck if I go to sell it I can stuff the stock stuff back in and save my good stuff for the next ride. Hence why I do allot of that more than i do engine work at the moment.

I havent touched the sound system in this truck at all. The last one I did went with that truck when I traded it in on the current one.

I did put a tuner in on this truck just to bump the power numbers up a bit.

Heck I'm looking to put a new amp in mine next and some thick wire to power it, been pushing the thing clean to its limits powering my new 12 inch sub in it, shakes the crap out of the passenger seat in mine and makes enough noise with enough punch to make me a happy man. Some evenings it nice to just crank it and drone out all the other noises of the truck long enough to relax a little. I've always liked messing with audio systems but since I can't get away with but so much being with the parents still I tend to leave most of that crazy stuff in the truck.

I have a really good surround sound system in my room at home. It is an Onkyo 7.1 system. rated at 1000 Watts. Subwoofer is a powered subwoofer rated at 230 Watts. The truck is completely stock and sounds pretty good once I tweaked the treble and bass just right.

Most of my stuff in the house is just cheap old computer speakers with a small sub attached to it, works for my use at the minute so I can't complain to much about it, I think the sub in my truck is rated at 600 watts so it can push out some bass. One thing I always liked about the newer trucks is they had a kick butt system already in them and really would just need a small sub setup to make them perrrrrrfect in my books but they sound great otherwise.

My current truck sounds pretty good. As for me I have decent speakers on my laptop. If I want to really pump that up I have a patch cable I can use to tie it into my home theater system if needed. I cant turn that up past halfway though. Starts vibrating things off shelves on the second floor of my house.

Sounds like tha time I had my oversized 12 that can't really fit in my truck in my room connected to an old pc power supply and a half dead amp, i remember it being so loud it would do the exact same to stuff in my room but I couldn't go much higher than that due to the power supply getting overloaded and shutting off on me. Poor thing took so much abuse from that amp and sub and it kept on giving it back for a long time to.
