Pics will come tomorrow, I didn't have my camera with me tonight during the install.

So basically I installed a new head unit, its a double din 7" TFT DVD unit, with alot of options

Front speakers are powered by a ESA 2x50WRMS amp, good little amp, installed inside the glove box, and yes there is still room for stuff in the box. Speakers are a set of Kaption components.

Rear speakers are powered by a US amps 4x25WRMS (runs bridged, 2x50WRMS), installed in a custom raised floor setup in the trunk. Speakers are a set of Max pentivent mid bass.

Sub is powered by a JL 400.1 amp, installed in the raised floor setup. Sub is a MA 15" dual voice coil subwoofer, running the spare tire well as the box, sub is installed inverted, magnet up for looks, and protection for the cone.

All amps are running off RCA's, and OMG it is a million times better than running the stock deck with level reducers, the sound is so much cleaner, and hits better.

Again, will have pics tomorrow

Sounds coll and looking forward to seeing the set-up. I like running seperate amps like that, it truly is the way to go. DO you run your speakers full-range? There shoudl be no need to since you are using a MONSTER sub. It will reduse stress to your amps, battery system and boost performance. I woudl set the HP filter to like 60HZ if your amps have one.

If you want to see more pics check out my cardomain

I haven't done any tuning to the amps except for setting the gains right now, need to fix a couple small things with the system first............I will check it out though, I have crossovers, so they should be cutting the low end bass, but that'll be something to check out
