But it's always better to prepare for the worst I suppose...
Ill be getting a Yellow Top for sure and have a cap if I need it!

Nice set up...you do it yourself?

No, I had a reputable shop do it. I figured since this is a much newer car than I'm used to working on that I'd let them install it. That way, if they messed something up, they would cover it instead of paying out of pocket lol.

Okay Guys....

Got it all installed over the weekend! My friend does custom work and when I went to pick it up, All I could say was WOW! As far as the sound, It is CLEAN and CRISP. Drops nice but not too much ( Sealed Enclosure ) The C5's are LOUD!!! The Clean Sweep did it's job and I am a happy camper!

Here are some pics

This is a LED in the vent to let me know if the Clean Sweep is on or off. Green on/Red Off.


This is the setup during the day!


And this is what Is aw last night when I picked up my car... I was Amazed!

which was a surprise to see when he popped the trunk




Thank you guys for the advice and direction getting this done.

Looks good, I'm glad things turned out well for you. Did you get the battery or a cap?

Here is the thread related to my install.

Will update with pics of the MS-8 soon. My work was done professionally so I won't be able to answer your detailed questions about wiring.

Buy a Yellow Top battery and also some type of capacitor for your amps. I chose two Batcap Model 400. You will be asking alot from your battery if you don't.

Good luck.
I see your in Va,could you share imfo on who did the install on your car?
