sorry for this idiotic question but what's the glass used for? or is plastic?

Looks, good how much did this set-up cost and what's it putting out? Also did you do the work yourself?

It's a sick set-up once again, but I kind of have to lean with JJashaa on this and say you spent a bit to much for what you have. If you like your music then hey let it be, 4000watt is mcnasty, plenty enough to collapse your lung with full bass on. WOOOOOOOOOO!

If you're running 2800W shouldn't you have been using at least 4ga wiring?

Those are probably peak numbers anyways, but nice setup although it was a bit too pricey. I think my one 12W7 does its job well.

no.. you still shop around lol.
having money is no reason to take it up the booty when you buy something

setup looks good though. i believe i'll stick with a aftermarket head unit and call it a day though... i'd prolly put 2 G's towards new paint on mine.

You got seriously ripped! You could've had a nice set of 6 1/2" CDT components and a double din w/navi for $2K.

Unless of course you bought everything from Crutchfield and paid full price for everything!

Even at 2KW, you still need to be running larger ga cable. When you're hitting peak power, you're choking your amp.

Check this site out to read up on the basics of wiring.

Not to take anything away from your set up man but 2 racks is alot for 2 12s a head unit and 2 amps. Maybe if you said you had it installed at a shop, but you did the work, you should have shopped around bro.

Rockstar is right, if you have money doesnt mean you should just blow it. Cause if you did have money, you would have a newer TL. I have a f900bt, same amp, and 12" kicker, and I didnt spend even half of what you spent. If you came in here saying you did all that for like 500, I would be inpressed, 2k sounds like you are trying to lie to kick it.
