Re: post pics of your stereos/systems
Quote: 02 avalanche head unit. soundstream amp with clarion 6X9's. also have 5-1/4 two ways in the dash.

That looks really familiar I have the same deck in my 89 running speaker level to a Kenwood KAC-8405 which provides 60 WRMS X 4. I did some work to the sail panels and created an enclosure to accommodate a pair of Kenwood KFC-XW800F 8" woofers from the Excelon series. With the fabric over the sail panels, you'd never know there's an 8' woofer in there except for a little deeper bass than a 6X9. I'm also using the AUX input on the back of the head unit to play the audio from a satellite receiver.

I have future plans to install JL Audio's Clean Sweep signal processor, hence the space in front of the amp on the board.

Re: post pics of your stereos/systems
Here's the system in my car, One 12" Kick comp dual coil 400 rms 800 max, 8 ohm wired just to make sure I don't miss any beats. A Crunch 1100 watt 2 channel AMP with two 6x9 Sony Xplod speakers. (I'm going to be replacing them with some higher watt Kenwoods soon.) And a Kenwood deck. Spent about 500 or so on the sub, amp ,speakers, deck, AMP wiring kit, and supplies for the box and shrink tubing. The box is a 2 inch ported and hits hard on the high notes but I can still hear/feel the low notes so that "What size should I make the hole and how long of a funnel" guess ended up being amazing. I'll be adding another kick comp sub on a separate box just so If I need the trunk space I can take one out and not be without subs. All in all I love how cheap and affective this sound system upgrade was and say Kicker is the way to go!

Re: post pics of your stereos/systems
Upgraded the system in the Bird. It wont win any events, but it provides a much needed bass boost for the car.

Kenwood MP245 Deck
Kenwood Excelon X172 6 3/4" sail panel speakers
JBL 8" 800 watt Sub woofer
Crunch 1000 watt Amp
I may eventually upgrade the front dash speakers, but so far, stock speakers remain.

Quote: 7.5" in dash and 12.5" flip down - yes it is in front of my rear view mirror

The amp box with the two 6.5" speakers will have a large bow tie cut in to it with plexy glass over it and back lit with orange lighting to accent the car.

Sub and amp box unfinished in picture I am currently sanding and prepping them to be painted the same color as the car

Nope.....it will sound the same.

It's just personal preference, although downward facing subs do look cool.

Kinda overkill for the rock I listen to, but the mids sound real nice through the subs. I went through three sets of dash and rear speakers before I found a set that was crisp enough.

Re: post pics of your stereos/systems
Well I finally have something to add to this post. What do you all think.

Pioneer deh 15mb
Pioneer 5500t 820 watt amp works out to be 190w continuous at 2 ohms
2 X Pioneer ts-w259d4 10 inch subs 1200 watt peak 350 continuous
pioneer 4x6 in the dash
? 6 inch in the qform kick panels
and I know phase linear 6x8's in the sail panels.
next is to replace all none pioneer speakers with pioneer

This is the first sound system i have ever done. I have never put one in a car like this before. the iroc metal plate glows orange. does anyone know how to get it to glow more tho. I heard sanding the plexi difuses the light more and makes it glow more is that true ?
