Gold Member Username: HdubbTeam Revolution Post Number: 3492 Registered: Nov-04 | I've done a little testing in a tibiron (identical hatches) and found that subs and port forwards was the loudest from the options we had. but didn't gt to test subs for and port up. the hatch on those cars is odd lol |
