Re: Ultimate Car Audio Setup (mrkln)
Alpine with navigation, dvd changer, mp3, all in 6.1 Surround Sound and pop out LCD screen, 3 A/D/S amps, Focal Utopia Seperates front, rear, center, rear center, and 2 AudioBahn AWT10 subs with 2000w power in a custom bandpass box. Clifford Alarm with all options, Remote Valentine Radar, and you're set. If you do it right, they will all be invisible from the outside.

Re: Ultimate Car Audio Setup (92TripleBlack)
Let me re-phrase my above post. We all have seen the "Fishman's C5".
His expertise is top notch for sure. That is a nice $50k demo vehicle. Trailor it, park it at shows for promotions, etc. Put it in your basement or living room, whatever. But drive it? I doubt it... And they say talking on a cell phone is a distraction....... :lol:

Re: Ultimate Car Audio Setup (ICULUKN-C5)
Do you have two JL subs? Are they in seperate or a single enclosure? Is it sealed or ported? Are they wired in parallel/series/sterio? What kind of SPLs are you getting? I like the valentine. Good deck choice. The amp would be the weak link of the system. I'm a little suprised they mounted it there and not vertically against the rear of the cargo area.
Thanks for the feedback.
