I would recommend 8" lids all day every day.

It just makes the sled looks like it does not belong to your grandfather.

I'll have to send you a picture of mine, far from it. I like the stealth look the only way you know I have aftermarket music is the B3s in the gauges. To each his own, you gotta roll with what's good for you.

U have to realize that some of these guys are over compensating for other shortfalls. Nothing wrong with the stock stealth look as many of us looked up to our grandfathers. Enjoy!

Actually both of my grandfathers were my role models, not a bad thing. Put a picture of my 17 Grandpa Special in my album, picture quality isn't great.

i haven’t done a ton of research on the 8’s as of yet. What are you guys running or which ones do you recommend. I’m familiar with JL audio and wetsounds from the boats I’ve had but not so much with the pa offerings.
