Chris:

How long have you had your FM setup on?

After 3 months and 2000 miles, seems my FM SUV 50 Series dual 2 1/2 inch
setup has 'broken' in...sounds a bit louder -vs- when it was installed,
which is not a problem.

Gonna change my 3 inch oval angle cut tips for 3 1/2 inch megaphone
tips...now that should rock&roll and rumble!
