For me its M16A2 reports and the blades of a CH-53E breaking the sound barrier constantly just a few feet above my head. So louder is better, I can hear it.

Well boys, I think I just figured out who can and who can't love a diesel sound.  Only those of us who feel it more than hear it.

Wait. That battery and two extra cables weigh 100lbs+ ???? Or was it the addition of the 70lb relay that totals 100lbs+?

how much does a battery that big weigh in at? 80 lbs i would imagine atleast. and the one in the stock spot looks bigger than a factory size too..

I don't hear well either .. its a sad thing, and i do all i can to protect my hearing now; hell i even wear ear muffs just to do a tire rotation now a days .. :(
my claim to deaf was 4 12'' subwoofers in a 1993 integra for a few years.. and miscellaneous chain saws, drunken gun shots and other things with pistons and minimal exhaust  :'(

wait, its a mk2, i guess it wont be that bad, prolly be like driving a VR swapped mk2 with stock mk2 suspension.. except without the VR power.. i thought this was a mk1 for some reason. and a mk1 with that much weight up front, it could get dangerous.. might start doing nose wheelies..

god, i will never forget the first time i did a stoppie in my black rabbit. rear end of the car was off the ground a good foot or so.. i only had a n/a, and one battery in the nose of the car.

but i had no rear interior, and i dont think that helped any..

as for my hearing, i have had atleast two 12" woofers in every vehicle ive ever had except my single cab toyota..

right now, i got 100lbs of monster 13.5" sub in the trunk of my golf.. listen to the stereo for 5-10 mins turned up loud, and you are RINGIN..

its a JL audio 13W7.. JL's flagship subwoofer. its kinda like a corvette, its an industry standard now, but by all means, not the best, there are bigger, better things out there, but for the money, you cant really go wrong. ive never heard another SINGLE sub that is as clean at re-producing music, than this thing is, and ive owned a GRIP of different subs and stereo combos in my day. hands down, this sub takes the cake..

http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_subs.php?series_id=40&country=US

its on sale even, $1199.95.. got mine WAY cheaper.. about 75% off retail.

and it doesnt make racket.. it reproduces bass better than alot of subs out there..

it hits the DEEP bass like a 15", but also sounds tight up top like a 10" woofer.. it really is awesome. ive thrown some serious musicality to it, and it never skipps a beat. just reproduces the sound amazingly, and asks for more.

if you feel it necessary to have that much bass, then a DUB7 is the way to go..

only bad thing is, you need an uprated charging system to run one, lol..
