Stereo wise?? The stock 7 speaker pioneer with the stock 10 disconnected and two 10" Rockford Fosgates pushed by a Massive 1,000.1 D class amp. The subs are wired for about 3 ohms.

The subs are bridged inside the box. When my boys checked the ohm readings on em, it came out to be right around 3

How would the sensor work if the car is off?

Run it to a constant power, but then it still may not work cause of our battery run-down protection. Still another thing to go wrong

Rain sensors have got to be the most USELESS thing on a car today...I mean damn, if you aren't smart enough to turn on your wipers, and close your windows when it starts raining, you don't need to be driving the friggin car, you have bigger issues you need to worry about.

Yeah, I can rant about these things because I have to deal with them every single day because of my job, but to answer your question, it wouldn't be cost effective, and to problematic.

It's an interesting idea.

The humidity sensor isn't the hard part though, it's building the computer for it.

I would link it to the sunroof, door windows, wipers, lights, and alter the traction control to be slightly more agressive (non 2.0L's).

This would be useful in rain, snow, and ice conditions.
