Completed custom sound system

So i just finished putting together my sound system. Let me know what you guys think.

(2) JL Audio 12W6v2 subs
(1) Rockford Fosgate TB1001 amp
(1) Rockford Foosgate T8004
(1) Epicenter *not shown under passenger seat*
(1) Alpine CDA-9887 Head unut
(1) Pair Pioneer TS-A6992R in sail panels
(1) Pair of JL Audio 4" / 4X6"JL Audio TR400-CXi in dash *which i do not recommends
(1) Bogus brand 5farad capacitor that gets job done.

*0 gauge wiring was used for amps*

I fabricated the sub box on my own and color matched it.

Both amplifiers are sitting under a shelf i made for them which puts the amps at a slight angle.

I am far from a pro i just experimented and read up on forums to build my box. I wouldnt charge but i can help you build one at no charge as it would be a learning experience for me as well. All you have to do is buy material and help.

Re: Completed custom sound system

Nice work mate, very neat. I did a similar box for mine, but my spacers are a bit smaller and my amps are in the spare tire area because I need to be able to put my t-tops in there still. You do know that you shouldn't ever need a cap if you have done the wiring correctly.......

Re: Completed custom sound system

So how much to do a job like that for me, huh? I've got a convertible, so the space is built slightly different.
