Default Just finished the stereo install- stealthbox, etc

I just finished installing the stereo in my 2003 Z.

Here's what I went with:
Kenwood EZ500 Deck and Sirius tuner/Terk antenna
KICKER KS6.2 front components
Kicker SSMB6- rear midbass
Hifonics ZX6400 4 channel amp
JL 500/1 amp
JL Audio Stealthbox
Second Skin Audio sound deadener (still in the process of applying).
Hardwired Escort Passport
Super cool bass **** mounting and radar detector control (that I scratched DAMMIT but am going to replace).

First, for anyone who says that the Stealthbox doesn't pound, that is a damn lie. It is the loudest system I have ever had, and this is about my 10th one. My friggin ears are ringing after the drive home from dinner and a really gay PM Dawn song that pounds hard. I had to do some custom mounting on the radar detector to keep it from rattling.

I need to tweak the ap settings a bit, but overall my only regrets are the Kicker components and the Hifonics amp. The Hifonics amp already has a bad channel so I need to send it back under warranty. The Kicker tweeters are somewhat harsh.

Anyhow, here are the pics.

10W3s About $750. Steep, but well worth it. Fit is PERFECT. There really aren't supposed to be any online JL Audio dealers, but www.acaraudio.com appears to have them with reasonable shipping.

I got it from another member who apparently makes them. His e-mail is MIKE3348@ADELPHIA.NET. They are $20.

I basically took a hardwire kit for the Passport and cut the wires in the middle so I could add an extra 6 feet or so. There are 6 wires total. Then I broke open the "heads up display" and jerry rigged it to fit flush in the center console using a combination of superglue and zip ties. The center console now has the mute button and flashing lights on it.
