sorry about my lack of pics on a prior post.
1. pic of Viper..
2. Diamond D9's in door
3. power supply
4. Eclipse 7100, notice the light above the vents (blinder warning)
5. hatch w/cover in place
6. JL Stealth box
7. JL Audio 500.1, JL Audio 450/4, 2 D9 x-overs

WIZ1500's system is much more powerful but these speaker absolutely rock. Tried to hide as much as possible. Concerns of heat under overlay (above amps) and may add a fan if needed. D6 components surround but I'm working to adjust the volume as they really throw highs right next to my ear. IPOD interface is under the armrest and works very well! Charges the Ipod, can run songs, playlists, artists... Sirius radio. Blinder MP40 all light units upfront, switch is by my left foot, warning light above middle vents. Thanks again for all you valuable assistance.

I think its just the protective plastic film thats on there. I thought it was cracked at first too.

Nice install. How do you like the HU so far?

I threw out the Bose speaker, if you would like them, I'll need to know very soon and I'll need to dig. THe housing isn't cracked. HU thus far is very nice. Still learning how to use all the features, more to follow if you would like. I purchased what I thought was above average stuff and hoped it would sound nice. Follow 4 or 5 frequent posters here and played off of them. Thus far I am very happy.

It took me a long time to learn my eclipse cd5000

When I pulled my battery connection and lost all my settings and i thought i got them all back in order, I found that I missed my crossover setting. It was at like 63hz with no rolloff. once I found it and set it to 80hz at 18db rolloff it was perfect and sounded the way i remembered. Be patient and you will love the HU

I was really curious as to how you liked the JL Stealthbox because I was considering one.

Is it really worth the money? I haven't been able to find one for less than $500 yet.

sub sounds very nice. the initial cost is only part of the equation, don't forget the price of the amp.
