Good pick with the RSD components. Seriously the best bang for the buck speakers from any brand as far as I am concerned. The RSD comp subwoofers are also to die for; lots of output, plays high to low bass effortlessly, and has great timing.

This is not a " ghostbusters " ambulance . IT is a more rarer ambulance , you rarely see them built on the pontiac chassis .

That ambulance looks like a few taxi station wagons I've come across in Rosarito, Mexico.

That cabinet looks bad ass!
