i realized that i didn't bring the right tools to grab the t-bar or ss brake lines, so hopefully they will keep that xj around a little longer. (it's been there for over a month) i've already got a KOR double-shear adj. t-bar on my xj, but might pick up the RE one just to have (or sell). i also already have tuff country's 3.5" coils from the po & the JKS ACOS (CL find) ready to go on, so i'm kinda waffling on the jy donor's coils.
I wasn't saying the leaf was a bastard pack, but that the lift kit was bastardised... meaning the lift was parted together! i.e. RE shocks & brake lines, jy coils, skyjacker leafs, ect

Depends on the amp, they will overheat under the seat cause there isnt any air flow

Not volume. Just the balance between front and rear, the rca on your radio are probably rear, so thats the only sounds you will here.

Lol no the factory head is a dead head meaning no power, the amp increases the low level line out that the radio produces to increase the power, overall power is equivilent to a aftermarket head unit

So could I still run a small sub (a single 8" or 10") with a 2 channel or mono amp? Could I run a sub without amping my speakers? I have 4 kenwoods rated at 35 watt rms each and a 50x4 jvc head unit rated at 22 watts x 4 rms. Im worried that im underpowering my speakers.
