I've just completed my audio modifications for the moment and I'm very happy with the way it turned out. The sound quality that's been reproduced is clear, tight, and strong. The 10w6v2 produces amazing bass and easily fills the cabin and gives my passenger and myself a nice massage.

What I've installed. I've installed everything myself except for the sub (installed by Matt at Tweeter in Towson), the front/rear speakers, and navigation (Installed at Car Trendz in Alexandria). Actually, I should say everything was installed professionally except for a few things :

Headunit: Alpine CDA-9815
Front Components: Alpine SPR-176A
Rear Speakers: MB Quart DKD 116
Navigation: Alpine NVE-N852A
Monitor: Alpine m760
Sub: JL 10w6v2
Amp powering the sub: PPI PCX-2125

Installing the headunit, the monitor, the amp, and running the wires was pretty easy. I didn't want to hazard the speakers and definitely didn't want to try fibreglassing the sub enclosure after having reviewed onecoolee's instructions multiple times.

I'll have to put a plug in and say that Matt at Tweeter did an amazing job in crafting the fibreglass. It molds so well into the car and the sub sounds fantastic.

I'm not powering the front/rear speakers with another amp yet as the Alpine CDA-9815 HU does a pretty darn good job itself. Although I ran the RCA cables in case I do later add an amp for them.

Here's some pics:

This first one was before the amp, sub, and speaker install. Just the HU and the monitor so you can still see the power wire hanging there from the firewall.



This next one is of the PPI PCX-2125 amp for the sub.



These next two are of the sub:
