nice setup. But there is one thing I dont get. Why do the breakers sit next to the amp? They are should be no further than 3 ft away from the battery. Do you have a fuse or a breaker next to the battery?

Silverknight - I have a 200amp breaker up near the battery.
Crazy Acura - I'm running Focal Utopia 165W's up front. They are in the doors though since I'm a bit taller and didn't want to sacrifice the leg room. Sounds VERY good, just doesn't image worth a damn. Oh well.
Yes, the subs do sound quite good. They go quite low and they go as loud as I'd want them too. So far I've had no problems with powering them either. The max draw on those two amps is 220A, but with a cap on each and a new battery I haven't had so much as a single light dim whatsoever.
Cluofi - I love the NAK stuff so far. I had some probs with the first changer (dead out of the box) but I got a replacement no problem and it works great now.
The sound is incredible right now and I love the looks of the equipment. Nice and plain. No fancy lights, displays, screen savers, just what is needed and nothing else. There isn't a better piece made IMO.

So im guessng you are using the stock bose speakers for the rear? Im doing the same for now. Also you say you put in a new battery, i may have to do that. I have 2 12" a/d/s subs and focals 165w in the doors, and when i have it turned up i can see my lights to dim a little. So maybe replaced the battery may help. I dont have any caps either, i dont know if it was worth it. But maybe it might be now.
Let me know if you have any input on what i can do about my lights dimming.

Put in another battery will not solve the problem unless you wanna change the stock alternator

I changed my battery out to an Optima Yellow Top, which is a deep cycle battery. I've had no problems with dimming lights or anything. The deep cycle batteries help a lot since they work sorta like a cap. They provide extra juice if your system needs it, like during strong bass, and the amps take it from the battery & cap rather than the alternator. I'm looking for a high output alternator too, but having trouble finding one that isn't like $700 or more. Any suggestions?

It was up there in the dollar range. I figure I have almost $7000 into it if you add up all the equipment & parts & labor. It wasn't cheap but I do enjoy it.
