Ant steps up for SMD Members yet again by offering $250.00 worth of Second Skin sound deadening to the winner - I mean, who can't use that, right?

Mr. P - How's it feel to win SOTM at SMD? "Thanks everyone for showing how much you love the jeep! It feels great to win at SMD. When she's ready, I'll try to drive her across the country so everyone can feel the low lows!" - Mr. P . . . Hell yeah - make the first stop SMD WHQ!

DAYUM' . . . DC Audio again! Wow . . . Rusty and team seem to know what it takes to build winning subs. How about (3) DC Level 5 18s in an '98 Acura Integra? Hell, that's one more 18 than I got in my Honda . . . check the pic and click on the video to see it in action. . . this thing is SICK!

"It's an honor to win something that everyone and their cousin has a chance to enter. I was honestly surprised that I won because it was never meant for anything other then my love of music. Thanks to everyone at SMD that voted for me and special thanks to my buddy Aaron Fowler who did the install!" - Team_DC-Derrick
