Newbe with system
Hello all. First of all I have been waiting for this board to go back up. I only found it the day before it went down and have been checking everyday since. I am happy to find it is up today although today was such a depresing day. My heart goes out to all today and I dream of a day when such evil is but a distant memory.
On to my post. I just bought a Black CL-S around 3 weeks ago. I love it! I am going to do alot of work to it. So far it has spent most of it's time in the stereo shop. I wonder if I have one of the top systems here. I have the stock headunit. For power I have a huge XTANT 4 channel amp driving MB Quarts comp at all 4 corners. For bass I have a Cadence A-H7 pushing a temp set of Orion HCCA 12's ( I had MB Quarts Fibre subs but blew 4 pairs of them (bad glue)) I have the alun ocatagon XTANT subs on order. I have converted the cig lighter into the remote bass knob for the Cadence amp. I have the amps built into the sparetire well under plexi with neon. The box is built behind a wall in the trunk taking up the space under the deck with plexi windows looking into the back of the speakers. From inside the car there is no indication of the system I have. The sound is amazing! The best I have ever heard. I am looking forward to the new subs which I should have soon.
I also have 15% tint all the way around. I am ordering the Comptech exhaust, headers, and springs soon. I have the intake on order as well.
Who else has a top system here? Again I am glad to be here and look forward to learning alot about our cars!

I just purchased a Sony CD-Rom Camera, I should be here tommorow or so. I will take pics ASAP. I think I designed the system well. I looks very smooth.
Who else has a nice system here?

WOW! I am impressed!
The only thing I would be concerned with is trunk rattle with that system. I hate any type of rattle. My system was designed with that in mind. The front of my box has a build out that boxes it into the rear of the back seat. No sound whatsoever can get into the trunk from either the subs or the rear speakers. All the sound is forced into the car. As well as I have to be able to fit a stroller into the car.
My car is going back into the shop next week for some changes. I am getting rid of the Cadence sub am and replacing it with a Xtant 1001 sub amp. I am also dumping the Orion subs for the new X- series Xtant hexagon subs. That will be done next week.
