I guess now that I'm an official vendor I'm not supposed to make comments like I did the last time vsokolov posted pics of one of his installs.
But the MS6 is a $250 MSRP set of components, and the 426 coaxes (the ones actually in your pic, not the ones on your list) are $200 MSRP, so how they are "best sound" is not clear. The UP6 at $400 MSPR outperform those easily. This seems like a pretty budget install.
And in the TL forum, msmith of JL Audio has posted repeatedly that the output of that TL deck is not flat, but heavily EQ'd - and he's posted graphs - so how did you adjust for that? I don't see any processing anywhere. Do you have an RTA? Did you test it?

well if you sell directed audio as much a I do you should know the following, inside the amp the technology behind it same as like clean sweep by JL EQ of acura tl is more than enough but to correct the signal directed amps defenetly do the job

Hehe... I HIRED the guys that run product development at DEI.
NO DEI amp currently sold has a DSP front end like the Clean Sweep.
Nothing against Directed amps... but even DEI will tell you that they don't do that.
I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding... but you might want to read the manual on that one.
But you tested this with an RTA, right?

Mark Rutledge, VP Engineering, hired by me before he had a degree as a telephone tech support person in early 90's.
John Durbin, Audio Category manager for 5 years, now Sirius category manager, hired by me twice, as telephone tech support and then as audio assistant manager when I was audio manager.
And I called before I typed this to make sure that no DEI amp currently shipping has an EQ in it.
So you must just be confused.

I hate to say this, but that isnt the best looking and best sounding system. I my system that I just put together would sound better than that. If you think that looks the best, you may want to try going to a real audio shop.
