My custom JL system

I am sure many of you have seen my system but here are some more pics.



I want to hide those wires someway







Sorry about the blurriness in some of the pics. I was in a rush when I took them this afternoon.

Looks great! Are those w3's?

I am a fan of JL audio; I have 12w0's in my daily driver and I couldn't be any happier.

I wanted to do my system in the Firebird all JL but I couldn't afford it.

They are W3v2s. The v2s are much bigger and louder then the original w3

That's easy in a setup like yours. You build a panel at the same height as the top of your box and extend it to the back seat. You make a cut-out for the amp, then carpet the panel. Drop it into place and it'll give the amp a nice flush-mount appearance and hide all of the wiring. It'll also make your box look a lot more integrated.

I have thought of that before. I have been thinking about mounting the amp where the back seats were. My back seats are removed

Yay for JL Audio!! I like your setup. Right now I am running an Alpine Amp for the speakers but I want to get a 300/4 like you did. I keep my alpine amp hidden in the spare tire well. Its not worthy enough to be seen.

Anyone running JL 6x9's? I'm getting a headunit and 6x9's for my B4C that I will eventually sell. So I came across these JL 6x9's for a pretty good price, wondering if any of you guys have tried them (TR or VR)?
