Nice work, but that is some serious overkill. Back when those amps were "new" I built a system for a friend using one RF Pro series 10" sub, four 6.5's, two 5.25's, four 3.5's and four tweets running off one 300. It hit 130db without heat issues and he had at least 75% of his trunk space left.

Agreed on the "overkill" statement. I am very often likened to Tim the Tool Man Taylor. But seriously, these are pretty much all collector pieces and I didn't want them to have to labor very hard. More for show than go if you know what I mean.
