[DeTomaso] Subwoofer question

[Dave Doddek]

I have thought of that before, but did not want to cut that big hole in the
firewall.  I do have another idea, but until I get it worked out, I dont
want to announce it. But it will require very little modification to the
car and should provide pretty good bass in the car.
