[QUOTE="Harblar, post: 378156, member: 8673"] I'm thinking of doing something with the sub box the Car Stereo Company is building me. :wink: And with that let me segway into my latest update! Plans are in motion for my audio system upgrade. I've been in contact with Noah over at The Car Stereo Company (CSC) for the last couple weeks and I've got my plan of attack laid out for a massive overhaul. So, without further adieu, Here's the build: Speakers: Front - Hertz HSK 165 Components. I demo'd these locally and really liked them. This is the only thing I didn't get through CSC, since they are not a Hertz dealer. Rear- Hertz HCX 165 Coaxials (I may hold off on these for a little while and just leave the rears stock, but we'll see how I'm feeling in a couple weeks when I start the install) Amps: Front - JL XD600/6. The plan is to run an active frontstage, so one channel to the tweeters and the other four bridged to the woofers. *obligatory Tim Allen Mo-Powa grunt. Rears - JL XD400/4. Bridged to the coaxials when I do them. Considered the XD200/2, but I've learned that's it's always better to have more headroom. Processor: Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty.3 there were a number of options for this, but in the end I like the flexibility and options vs. price of the RF 360.3 the best. Hopefully it ends up being a nice bug free install... If not I may look at trading up to a Bit 1 down the road. Sub: And now the corner stone. I'm having CSC build be a nice custom Scab Box, but with a bit of a twist. Instead of going with the dual pioneers I opted to go for a single JL 13TW5V2 powered off from a JL XD600/1 amp. Due to the bigger diameter/airspace requirement of the woofer, Noah's going to have to fiddle with the design to make it work. (not too worried. I'm sure it's going to kick some Major Ass.) The amp is going to be built into the box and the whole thing should fit under the 2/3rds section. I told him to feel free to post a build log on the construction if he wanted, but it might take the rest of you Hooligans hounding him a little to get it posted. hahaha. All the wiring was custom ordered from KnuKonceptz. I've used them in the past and was very impressed with the quality. I ended up going with 1/0 gauge for the main run and and then 4 gauge off from blocks to the individual amps.
