Dang that's a lot of eye candy. But the sound imaging must be horrible. I can't tell from the pictures but it looks like all your speakers are in the hatch area and there are none up front (unless I cannot see speakers in the kicks of some sort)..

It was built for open hatch but actualy sounds much better with hatch closed.

Good question. I just had to go check and see for myself. I guess I overlooked that detail. I plan on re-doing some things soon-ish anyway. I guess ill just add that to the list of things to do...I do have the same gauge ground on the other battery though. Im not sure how the two of them work together. I am not smart about these things. Should the whole thing be grounded on the battery under the hood? It looks like the power is coming from the battery under the hood and its grounded where the other battery is...

Here's my setup. Still in the works. I don't keep the system in my car unless I'm entering a sound competition. They are nice to have, but REALLY heavy.
2- 10" Dual 4-Ohm HCCA Sub woofers
1- Orion HCCA-D2400 Class D monoblock Amplifier
4 gauge wiring
FatMat Sound deadening (AMAZING STUFF)
I have won first place in my class 3 times (2 at USACI shows -United States Auto sound Competition International) , and 2nd place once at some random car show. The system is underpowered right now with that amp, I need the Orion 5000 watt amp to really achieve some good numbers. It hits 143 decibels as it sits. Components weren't done because the competitions only measure bass, and since I don't keep the subs in the car (they weigh about 50lbs a piece lol) I never really needed them.

So you have all that and you're running stock front speakers? I guess it really is for pure competition but it seems like a waste, it's not like u have to turn that thing up all the way all the time. 2500wrms should be able to put you in the 145-even possible to touch the 150db range. What was used to measure the decibels? (I'm guessing termlab since you said you entered some usaci shows). You should upgrade the power wire to 0ga imo as well.
