Guess the weight...

....and win a prize.

The last couple of weeks have been spent removing the interior and the
"OMG" A/V system from the (new to me) '00 R. After having to draft two
friends in order to assist me with the removal of the woofer
enclosure, I figured it would be interesting to see just how much this
whole system weighed. I weighed it all, every bit of wire included.
There were a total of thirteen speakers, including the three 12"
sub-woofers, three rather HEFTY amps, DVD player, LCD, head unit,
equalizer and crossovers. Weighed on a bathroom scale so it'll be give
or take a few lbs.

The grand (and only) prize: R.A.M.F.M. inside window stickers.
WOW!!

Remember these? Kevin M. iirc made these up several years ago, I've
still got a few. The closest guess will get one each, black and white.
WOOHOO! I've met a few people at the drags because of those stickers,
most people think it's a radio station, lol.

Weight will be posted in a few days.

I'll give a hint; The woofers and enclosure weigh more than me, and
I'm no race-horse jockey!

Total weight: 410 lbs!

To each, his own. IMO adding that much weight to a car, that is by
design, the "lightweight Mustang" seems kinda silly. <shrug>

E-mail me, replying to this thread, with a snail mail addy. I'll shoot
those stickers out to you.

So, if you are a 160-lb person with a 130-lb significant other, you
have to be naked in order to not overload the car!
