Yup, I was following that thread during the whole "rules" fiasco. I was just surprised to see a lady go the "all out for sound" route. Doesent follow their typically inherent patterns of unobtrusive asthetics, not just car audio, but usually in most things they do. Kinda something they seem to be hardwired to follow. It just looks like something a guy would do, throwing practicality and conservatism to the wind in search of higher sq......regardless, it looks great! I'm jelly of the fact that your wife is as into audio as you are, and for that fact that your whole family attends, and participates in the competition scene. Also glad you weren't too discouraged to return to something that your enthusiasm shines through on everytime you post about it. My wife is the "background music" type, and shares no love for my stereo, or my constant desire to change it. So count yourself lucky she not only showed interest in your hobby, but enjoys music enough to actually want a nice stereo in her own car! Out of curiosity, do you guys share a taste in music? That would be awesome as well, not only someone to appreciate the sounds of a good stereo, but someone who is entertained by the same music as well......
