Look into the upfireing atmos speakers that's if it's a flat ceiling. They actually work well, if I wasn't getting the 4 wired in on top I would definitely have done that.

I'm not a fan of the reflective Atmos speakers. I already have wiring for overhead speakers at the proper points on my ceiling. Just that I'd have to upgrade my receiver and don't want to yet.

You should really wait to get the tune until you have all your bolt ons. That way you can maximize the potential of the MD exhaust. I'm sure it will be a little different than the Invidia when it comes to tuning for it .

sounds great man.. and i also recommend to wait on all the bolt-ons before the tune.

nice prewired is always great.. if just sucks that 11 channel receivers are soo much.. i may go with emotiva because they have a 5yr warently and they are also local.

i'm also leaning very heavily on some DIYSoundGroup speakers.. its looks like just too much fun..

The only reason I'll be tuning prior to the MD CB upgrade is to take advantage of a Group Buy that VQ|NYC is conducting for custom tunes with EcuTek from John Visconti Tuning in Connecticut. But a retune would only be a small fraction of the GB rate.

Jeremy hasn't finalized the number with John yet. If you aren't on VQ|NYC in FB you can search and add them.

3-car garage! That's fantastic. Good for you.

Reading these comments and looking at these pictures, I get the sense that you drive your car, and don't sweat the small stuff.
