finally happy with the system in my jeep and going to make it permanent. only took 7 years of trying different equip and starting several different boxes (that never seemed to get finished cause i knew i could get more out of the system) this coming weekend building a new box and amp rack, a complete re-wire new rca's, speaker wire, power/ground wire, new 5 farad hybrid cap. I'll post pics when i finish it up

Nice and Congrats!

Make sure you have full coverage and you add the receipts to your car insurance policy.

That won't help you. Been there done the "try and get my insurance to replace my expensive system when my truck got stolen" thingy. Twice my truck has been stolen and both times my insurance told me my homeowners would have to cover it. (renting at the time after my 2nd divorce) So no coverage except to replace with factory radio. Check with your insurance carrier for coverage. If they will cover it thru your auto coverage, please let me know who you use.

BTW...congrats on the system finale.

thanks. yeah the insurance company wanted quite a bit for extra coverage on the audio system but my agent just told me to save my money and if anything should happen it's covered under my home owners policy

i have had the system in for quite awhile sub has been in a temp box for about 9 months and for the past 5 years the amps were in an amp rack (that did get finished) that was to match a sub box (that was never finished) for a different sub, and everything else under the back seat (install sorta completed). there have been 2 other sub boxes started to match the amp rack that were never completed in that time period, always got as far as getting the sub in tweaking with the sound listening for awhile and deciding that wasn't the sound i was looking for.
my wife has been making fun of me cause i cleaned out the garage a few weeks back and finally threw out all the partial boxes (5 total) sitting in what became the "sub box grave yard"

finishing up the last little bits today. a few changes (better changes) here and there to the original design, but should be driving out the driveway today

well it has been done for a bit now but i finally got some pics on the pc.
there is a compartment on both sides of the box one side has the eq and spatial processor the other is storage.
final system:

JL 300/4 bridged powering Boston Acoustic Z6 Components for front stage
JL 500/1 powering JL 10W7
Eclipse 2102 30 band EQ
Audio Control ESP2 spatial processor
Alpine 7998 HU (soon to change)
Hitting a moderate 137.3db clean NO distortion (consistently, not just a onetime deal). Has people scratching their heads and asking " All that from one 10? Where are the rest of the subs?"
