Default 2007 C6 Base Audio upgrade complete

I recently sold my 97 and purchased a 2007 Base coupe. I love the vehicle but unfortunately the stereo left me unsatisfied. I had a pioneer app radio 2 left over from a previous vehicle and decided I would use it as the centerpiece of the system. I went to my local audio shop that has worked on a previous Acura TL and my current Lexus GS 350 Fsport, they do excellent work. I purchased JBL 6.75" components for the front, 5.25" coaxles for the rear and utilized a kicker comp 10" sub that I already had. All of the speakers are ran off of a newly purchased JBL 6 channel amp. Since the Pioneer only had 2volt pre-outs and 2 sets, I purchased an Audio Control LC7i to get boost the preamp output level and to keep full control of balance and fade. While the dash was out, I had them do a carbon fiber vinyl wrap that matched the new targa top and halo wrap. They incorporated the wrap onto the sub box for a little added touch. The doors and rear hatch area where deadened with dynomat.

Killer looking install! How does it sound? Bass adequate with one sub?

Thanks! I'm very pleased with the amount of bass. I used that kicker sub, albeit with a different amp, in my C5 and knew that it would do the job for my tastes. It's a sealed enclosure so it's definitely more punchy than boomy bass.
