Sounds like a good setup. It will sound really nice. The only thing I can think of is top of the line support components ... optima battery, good wires, good RCA's, maybe even some dynamat if you can afford the weight gain.

Why? Your better off with running 1/0 guage to a fuse block near the amps, if you need that much current.

Easier to route and hide under the carpet, and i will have a Maxi fuse / dist block near the amps.

Haha that stuff only weighs 20 lbs a box, so you figure if i manage to fit all of the 4th box, 80 lbs, minus the carpet padding stuff, and i weigh less than most people, and I dont mind the tiny bit of weight gain.

But you will have less weight after you get the fiberglass box compared to an MDF box.

One of my main reasons for sticking with the dynamat was from every shot of that stuff i've seen the aluminum layer on it was about equal to that of tin foil, the dynamat xtreme is about as thick as a soda can if you opened one, and that saves a lot of doubling or tripling I would have had to do.

Your stuff looks good. It's nice to see someone else willing to put in the extra time and money to get good stuff and do it right. I'm sure you will be very happy with your system.

z28, not to start any trouble, but the foil part has nothing to do with the deadening. its the actual mass of the tar-based part. yeah its a nice thing to have the name, but i just stuck with peel and seal myself and covered half my car for $25. i do have to say nice choice with the system, you got some very nice stuff. i almost got some of their studio amps when my old system got stolen. great equipment.
