[QUOTE="Guy, post: 1281827, member: 22717"] So I have roughed in part of the new install. JL HD1200/1 mono amp. JL 800 XD 8 channel amp The maestro dsr1 1/0 gauge pulled to the rear. It’s fused at 200 amps. Two distribution blocks with 4 gauge power and ground leads to both amps. The two 12s are in. Everything is “hooked up” and working. The dsr1 appears to be pretty flawless so far with integration. I haven’t installed the HERTZ components yet. I haven’t tuned it. Just a few initial impressions. The stock system is very muddy. You’re missing so much musical information... it’s disgusting. 1200 watts going to two 12 inch woofers isn’t too much bass. The bass is so clean and free of distortion that it isn’t dissonant in any way to distract from the music. The Alpine Type R thins are pricy but they are worth it. Dean Martin never sounded so smooth. Over the next week I’ll be buttoning everything up, installing the components... and then the tune... I’m not going to lie... I talked to a local audio shop who has a wonderful reputation... and I think I may let them use their equipment to tune it properly so I can get the most from my labor. To be continued. [/QUOTE]
