Default My Ultimate Setup.....

I am almost done with installing everything. I'm waiting on a new glove compartment since I used one for the Amps. I should be done by wednesday.

Here's the list of all the Audio Components:
Pioneer AVIC-D1
XM NavTraffic
DVD Player
Back-Up Camera
AuX Output to Plug in Ipod
JL Audio 4AWG Wire Kit
JL Audio 500/1
JL Audio 300/4
JL Audio 650CSi
JL Audio 650CXi
JL Audio W6v2
Stinger 1.2 Farad Pro Series Capacitor
Stinger Noise Cancelling RCA's (3)
RoadKill Xtreme (8 Sheets)
Zenclosures Strut Tower Sub Box (Wrapped in Carbon Fiber Vinyl)



I might of forgot something.....

But you get the idea.

I'll be posting pics later this week. I wanted to go all out on my system. It may not be competition grade, but it's gonna be great.

Let me know what you guys think......Hopefully I made good choices on what I bought. Thanks guys.

I was hoping my GF would have brought the better camera, but at least you can get an idea. This camera sucks by the way. Hope you guys like.

Thanks man. I wanted access to everything in one compartment. I was worried about heat issues when I was building the setup so I installed a computer fan and flipped it upside down to suck out the hot air. I'm working on a custom Plexiglass with the JL Audio logo on it to put into the panel.

I have yet to turn everything on at once. I'll cross my fingers and hope it doesn't get too hot. I just connected the RCA's but I have to figure out the remote cable and the door speakers so I can connect everything. Do any of you guys know exactly which wires are for the speakers and tweeters at the doors that are at the radio?

CSi's are components. Cxi's are Coaxials. Pretty much the same. Only difference is the tweeters are separated.

i thought that it splits somewhere in the door as far as wires behing the radio. so behind the radio it should just have 8 speaker wires, front right + -, front left + -,...and so on!

Ok After the painstaking process of running new speaker wires through the doors, my install is complete.

First Impression: Holy Shiitake Mushrooms! The W6 hits hard. Almost too hard. I have it toned down so normal people can actually stand it in the car. The highs are crystal clear. Amazing sound reproduction and quality midrange. Almost every type of music sounds amazing. Using the Basslink is the only thing you need when switching Genres. I think my choice of equipment made a hell of a difference. I am ecstatic with the results. Any of you guys live in Miami and wana here it let me know.

Overall Impression: JL Audio makes great products. I've used them for the second time and all I can say is wow. My system is phenomenal. Clear high, great mids, and clean hard bass. What more could you ask for?

Plus the entire install is stealth so you can't see anything besides a sub box.
I'll post some pics of the final product tomorrow.
