set up looks very clean, man, we should have played our systems at acurafest to compare our set up to the pro set up over there (cough, chicoOG cough!) but it was just too damn hot!!! i didn't even want to be in my car! my ass stayed in the shade most of the time.

again good job buddy

jptl, do you live in the huntington beach area? I'll be at a pro audio comp on Sat. you should show up and see how your system stacks up I love pro comp's with professional judges, you always learn something new and little things you can do to make it sound even better...

I have looked into doing a similar project and got all the hardware. (sub amp, door amp, capacitor, LOCs etc). The only problem I have with this project is hooking up the LOCs (4 and 2 channel one). Is it hooked up after or before the stock amp. And is your stock amp still powering your door speakers???

Ok, so I don't know much about audio, but I replaced the 4 6.5" speakers (2 front doors, and rear deck) with 4-ohm speakers. The 2 up front are Polk DB651s's, and the two in the back are some Sony Xplod's that I decided on a whim to get while I was replacing the rear sub with a factory replacement. I figured why not replace them while im back here, so I drove to Wal-Mart and got some. I’m planning on replacing them with 2 more Polk DB651s's though. Is that a good idea to have all 4 speakers be the same? I also replaced both dash tweeters with Rockford Fosgate Prime R1T-S's which are also 4 ohms. (But I think the stock tweeters might have been 4 ohms also, not sure though).
Anyways, I feel a significant lack of power. I want to be able to drive down the highway, windows open, and still here my music. At this point, I cannot. And I don’t think it is good to have to turn it up to 30+ at all times when I’m playing music from my iphone which is wired to the head unit. When I have it on the radio, it does seem louder for some reason. I Still have the stock amp, and that’s why im here. I’m pretty sure a more powerful amp will solve my problems. I Want to know what kind of amp to get that will replace my stock amp, and provide power to all the speakers. But, Someone from crutchfield told me I could buy a 4 channel amp to power the 4 Polk DB651s's, and leave the stock amp hooked up to power the center speaker, both tweeters, and stock sub. Would this work? And what all would I need to do? Im assuming I would need to connect the two amps somehow ?
There is also not enough bass in my ride. I plan on buying an Infinity Basslink. But since they are self-powered, I don’t need to consider them when deciding which amp to buy, right? Also, I saw some of you guys talking about rewiring the old wires. That seems like a lot of work, and is it necessary? I just need some advice.
