Question hyper ground system, HIDS, or speakers.

so i'm trying to decide what i want to get but i keep on going back and forth.

what should I get out of these items?

1: Sun Auto Hot Inazma w/ Sun Auto Hyper Ground System
and i don't care if i can make the wiring kit myself, i'de rather have a quality name brand product under my hood. i'm getting a deal for $300 shipped.

__________________________________________________ _______________

2: 5000k Techone HIDS in the group buy section.
the only problem, i really don't feel like getting pulled over for these and fined.

3: Alpine speakers, front and rear.

speakers. gotta have music.


by adding ground wires, you give your car a better current path of electrical flow. thus, possiblity increase your vehicles electrical power, increase mpg?, performance?

the hyper voltage system is a great combo with some grounding wires.

I wouldnt' bother with illegal hid kit, $300 for ground kit? nahh.
I don't care how well built they are, none of grounding kit worth $300.

Speakers are probably the best choice out of those three choices.

I'd probably find out more info before I'd get those HID's. They might produce massive glare. So..... for now I say the Alpine speakers, until you can find more info on those HIDs.

dont by that ground kit from Sun. U can get the HVS system but they charge like $100 for their ground kit which just consists of wires... now I know that you dont wanna DIY so you could order a complete ground kit from hardcoretuning.com and they have a precut/measured and the ring terminals r already connected and it comes with a bigger battery terminal with pics and directions for install. And the kicker? $29.. about $33 shipped to you in about a week. I also just bought the HVS this week and I'm waiting on both the HVS and the ground to arrive sometime this weekend/ Tuesday.

However, I would get the Type R's How u going to own a car with a stock sound system? WTF?

haha, i could of had one by now! lol
i won't be doing that until i decide i want to keep that car for the long run. i'm now stuck between the speakers and grounding kit. i just want to do the grounding kit because i don't think anyone has the hot inazma (HVS GT) and hyper ground system on their car right now. i just want to see if it make a difference or not.

to tell you the truth, i'm not really bothered by no sub and stock speakers. lol i had a sub before and realized i can go with out it.

anyways, tell me when you install the hvs and ground. i want to know if it makes a difference.
i am thinking about just buying that one from hard core tuning though...

those type R speakers might be too much for you...so you have an amp to go with them? if not, id go with type s's. but i vote HID's, you wont regret it.

A decent ammount of ppl have the HVS and or ground system already. I know that Gearbox already does.. Do a search for HVS (I have a thread from earlier in the week when I was deciding to get it or not) I picked mine up for $150 from http://shop.store.yahoo.com/rotorworks/hyvopa.html from Rorary Xecret 7. Its the same thing as the Sun MR system...

if you want grounding, get the sun hvs-mr for $180 or cheaper and spend another $20 for ground wires at some audio place. Thats only around $200 and its the same as that expensive thing you would buy. They're all a bunch of capacitors anyway.

i have to agree with gearbox. hop over to his DIY for info. that would leave you with some to spare $ for the speakers when that time comes around, since you'll need a good electrical system.

but, come on, $300 just to ground?
