Here is a pic I found

Battery in back next to subs under cap, 1.5 farad cap, 2 10" Rockford punch subs, 2 12" Kicker Solobarics,

Sherwood 75x4 amp for the 10's and the front speakers ( Boston Pro series tweeters, Oz 5 1/4 mids, Oz 4 inch mids)
Audiocontrol 2 way X-over for this amp.
Alpine 30x2 amp for the rear ( bridged to 4 way pioneer 6x9's)

Rockford 200x2 amp running the solobarics in parallel ( 1 ohm )
Sheet with amp says brideged @ 14 volts= 624 watts @ 4 ohms....1 Ohm?

Pioneer Head unit and a Clarion EQ

This is a pic with everything uncovered...you get the idea. When it is covered the only thing visible is the 10's. It's all covered in gray vinyl.

New solos are square, old ones were round.

The old Kicker Solos did come with a K. Then later models had the S.

yes, its really not a good idea unless you really know what you're doing. power levels, placement, phase all can wreak havok with multiple subs... especially in a car like ours

Ok fellas.

READ!
It's not a mess!
That all gets covered up. Totally stealth, you cannot see anything except the 10's.

As far as mix-matching subs:

It's called different croosover points.
The solo's play 50hz down, the 10's play 50-100hz.
This gives the best sound quality.

This is pretty much a competition setup....but I can't find the pics of the door panels and stuff. They're all in Hawaii.

MAKE SURE YOU GUYS KNOW YOU **** BEFORE YOU POST!
i.e. " Solo-Barics are round...those are comps."

You have got a lot of power and ground wires crossing and zig-zagging around all you RCA's and speakers wires. Do you not get interference from that wiring setup?

No. It's all mounted on a board, non-conductive.

As long as you run power wire on one side of the car and RCAs on the other...you shouldn't get any noise.

i'm sorry but that looks like a vary scary setup IMO i would try and sqeeze all that into the back of my car i'd stick with either the 10's or the 12's i wouldn't mash both of them into the tight space of the back of our cars. but that's just me...

I'm not sure who told you everything is fine as long as you run your power down one side and RCA's down the other. That is true, but any time that wires are bundled together or laying by each other there is a chance that noise can be coupled in from one to the other. Thats on a conductive or nonconductive surface. At some point everyone has to cross wire and in that case the best scenario is to have them cross perpendicular (90 degrees) to each other. Just some information for you.
