[DeTomaso] Subwoofer question

[Kirk Evans]

Gray,

The alternator is very low and should not interfere with even a 15'' sub 
woofer if you relocate the remaining electrical goodies on the fire wall. If 
you have to downsize to a 12'', with the right power driving the subwoofer, 
it will still pound the snot out of your passenger. IMHO
