i have a music testing cd that starts and high bass lines and ends very very low at about 16hz.... and the windshield is flexing at that point.

Currently two 8" subs. The 5.1 amp is located in the tire well. This is all going to get fiberglassed once it cools down outside and I am going to remove the 8's and put in 2 10's.

I have done all the work myself and not quite sure how I want to do the 10's. Hopefully if it cools down outside, I can start to work on it somemore. I am also going to be replacing my door speakers again as well as the tweeters (Polk momo seperates). Everything but the 3 1/2" will be Polk MOMO.

I could get the vote for most boring install but it does the job nicely. 2 12W6s with an Infinity digital Beta 300 amp pushing 1,000 watts. This was before I got the box to fit all the way up against the rear seats. The wiring is cleaned up now.

Very nice and clean install. It left you lots of trunk space too. Good idea to place the amp up and out of the way.

That looks great! Totally stealth, clean and simple. Very nice job especially because you did it all yourself. I still don't understand why people pay these high prices shops charge to do installs
when you can do it yourself and have the satisfaction... Nice work.

Old Skool car audio FTW! You can't beat the 90's products from brands like RF, Kicker, Orion, Lanzar, MMATS, Esoteric Audio, PPI, Zapco, and US Amps. There are several others but these are my top favorites. If I absolutely had to choose it would be a tie between RF, Orion, and PPI.

I have 1200 watt Lansar AMP (2 channels only using 1) with a 12" pioneer sub...
Ive seen less watts and the same sub with a lot more kick to it...I feel like i should just replace my entire system...new amp new sub and rewire.

I lucked out with my friend having this amp. Back in the 90s I made $6.00 an hour so I couldn't afford anything but food and gas.

Most of the above listed were made here in the good ol' USA. Unfortunately, out of all those only RF and US Amps are still made here in America. JL's amps are made in Korea or Taiwan, and alot of other companies are sourced from out of country also. I miss the military grade circuitry from the Orion amps.

Thanks!
Thanks!
How does it sound by the way? I like how you idea of putting the amp on top.. is that how the original owner had it? if I ever do mine, probably i'll just follow your idea or my other idea would be putting the amp next to (more inside toward cabin) of the enclosure... If you have time, can you post more close up picture of the amp rack on top?
did you do your own installation? of if not how much you pay to have all that installed?
thx

I did the setup myself with some help building the proper box from one of the installers at my uncles sound shop. I made all the panels which i think arent that bad considering it was my first time (could be alot better though).
The system sounds great though and consist of 2 10" W7's being pushed by a jl 1000/1.

Fiberglass with carbon/Kevlar overlay. That was a fun project!!

I'm selling the passenger side box in the BM. I'm still debating if I should rewire the navi unit as my shop has been looking at the possibility today. If your local and interested in the box+sub or just the box pm me

Lembowski: I already saw your post on the BM....
