For speakers, I use the speakers from Sony headphones in the truck beds or hatchbacks. For the speakers inside the cars (usaully in the kick-panel), I use the Song Ear-Buds. You can get high and low pass crossovers to filter out the highs for the subs, and the lows for the tweeters infront.

Hey, Mazkid. Could you go into more detail on your "Old Jag Sedan" model? I assume its diecast? What year, what model etc.

At the moment I'm blueprinting a Civic Hatchback that will have a B16 up front and a B18 powering the rear wheels. With the front exhaust venting just above the front wheel, and the rear exhaust venting in normal position. And, cold-air ducting forcing air into the rear engine.
Also blueprinting a Civic Hatchback with HUGE front drag slicks with head-moulded front fenders (think Ed Bergenholtz's Civic) with a tube-frame chassis and flip-forward front end.
The one thing I haven't perfected yet is producing a carbon-fiber-look. I've come closest by painting the "piece" black, then placing a stretched pair of nylons and spraying over a dull silver....letting it dry for a couple minutes, then removing it (so the dull silver won't smudge).

It's a 1959 Mark II...except mine is pretty crapped up. It was Maisto's first 4 opening doors car I think. Mine took part in a fire(my bro was burning some stuff, using a can of WD-40 as a blow torch, and before I could stop him he pointed it at the Jag...it's not melted, just the windows and window frames are distorted a tad and the windshield is like bathroom glass. I ruined it on my own, now it's sitting on Porsche 356 rims on the rear mounted on erectorset suspension(rides pretty good actually) and the front is riding on spare rims.
