It's not gay. It's inexpensive and has potential to not last very long, but it is still a quick car if in manual form.
The FAQ's are in the forum, 3rd forum from the top of the list.

The Kicker CVR's are a great choice! My suggestion is to run a single 12" in a ported box for great ouput, and you'll cut down the cost of the extra sub and larger amp. For daily driving Id reccomend sending the sub 450-500wrms. You can find a great deal on a good amp to run the sub on ebay or a forum like this one and you can spend the extra saved money on making or having a professional custom build your ported enclosure. 1 of the CVR's in a proper ported enclosure could very likely have more ouput that two in a sealed enclosure. Single sub setups are fun. If you need any help on making your decision you can I/M on AIM. Screen name is davetheslave10.

just put a way better sound system in your car, and they will feel inferior.
