Just some food for thought, but I strongly reccomend that you find a different way to mount your amps and cap. You've got those screwed down into sheet metal that sits 3/4" above your gas tank. If you get into any sort of accident you run a strong risk of those screws puncturing your gas tank. Lay a piece of 1/2" wood down and secure your stuff to that instead of directly to the floor.

Also, the screws are grounding the amps chassis and supplying an additional path to ground which isnt good.

Good point. Many amp manufacturers (such as Kicker) have plastic insulators that the screws sit in, but not all amps have that.

Yeah, the subs look great. Good choice of hardware. Clean install too but still not for me. This must be your first system right? You have the sticker on the box so it gives it away . Enjoy it!

Jim85Iroc, I have a 3/4" piece of fiberboard underneath the carpet. The amps and everything are screwed into that. That's why the carpet and the trim pieces don't always exactly line up. I cut the board out to pretty much the exact shape of that area, then i put it under the carpet. It looks alot better than if I had the board on top of the carpet.


As for the infinities, i used to have a rockford DVC sub and these things are in a whole new league.. They are the best mixture i've heard so far of quality and loudness... I'm not going to have the system tested until i work out some kinks in the alternator/battery combo..(It works fine in the day, but at night with defroster on its better just to leave it off)...

This is actually my 4th system I've installed.... The first one was a rockford xlc powered by a jensen amp.... they got progressively better each install....

92fire-audio --- did you build that box, it looks like it fits really well, If you did do you have any plans, looks great i could just imagine how loud and clear those sound. My friend has one of those subs (12") on one RF 1000a2 and it is deafining. I really like what you have done good job!
