Lowering with sound system?

Well it looks like I won't be able to get my Hayames I wanted in time so I am going to do a Neuspeed Sports drop on stock shocks on my sedan. I was just wondering if the load rate will be off considering I have 2 10"s in a standard box in my trunk. Anyone encountered this before?

you will sag because 1) too much weight in the back and 2) stock shocks. I would save up for coils that way if you don't like the drop you can change it.

me soon.

i have 2 12's and soon puttin in sum skunk2 coilovers and spc camber kit all around. i was aware about how my subs will add more weight to the rear n give it that "saggy" look. but since i have adjustable springs, ill probably take a good "-.5"inch drop in the back.

better hope ur sport springs will even out the height u want.
1.75 front/1.5 rear. but 2 10" arent THAT heavy, how many lbs do they weigh ?

I'm not exactly sure how much they weigh off the top of my head, but they are two alpine type E's and they do have a little weight to them.

if u can lift it with ur own hands, it shouldn't be that heavy... unless ur a weakling lol. but 2 10's seem like no prob.

but waiting and saving for the parts u actually want is a much better idea.if i were u, i'd wait for the coils or those full coils.

if u decide to go with the drop, let me know what happens as a result
