But that's not JUST weight loss. That's also a reduction in rotating mass which increases power transfer efficiency.

Something is wrong with those figures.

Says 29lbs. weight savings.

Do the math on the weight reduction chart. One or the other is wrong.

damn, that sub and amps where heave as hell.. I can't believe they stuffed that crap in my trunk. I just took them out earlier. Great little set up if I ever want to run an after-market amp on that bracket though and some REAL subs in that box... that really was a good 40-50lbs. I just shed off. The spare tire/jack and it'll be somewhere around 100 lbs. off the rear?? damn..

Gotta watch from where you remove the weight. Better off losing the weight fom the nose of the car, than the rear. You can move the heavy battery from the front to the rear, for example.
