:lol: :lol: that's one way to do it i guess. remember though that your stereo is most likely 4ohms and the speakers 8ohms, it should be fine but there is twice the resistance so the stereo will have to be at twice it's normal volume to produce the same volume that 4 ohm speakers would.

Nice bit of photomanipulation there 4eye, you can hardly tell it's not real! :lol:

I think it'd look pretty awesome, but it looks like a fair bit of work fitting all that extra tubing.
