Also, I ran swifts on my car with the CF setup for several months with no problems whatsoever.

Either way though, you'll love it.
did you have it resonated?

I have the resonated HFCs. The sound from inside isn't intrusive at all. No overwhelming drone or anything. And that's with all the sound deadening stripped out...

When you put your foot in it though...sweet music!

Well I listen to my music loud. Younger guy and love music. But even at normal music volume it's fine. There's a 1/4 mile inside cabin vid on my YouTube.
