Unanswered: Christmas a little late for me

I have always loved nice sound in my car audio.So for x-mas I asked for my dream sub and today I finally got it.I figured I would share it with you guys and gals.I still need to get a few more things but I have most of it.Like a crossover,2- 8" mids,300/4 amp,and power capacitor.But very happy so far.Thanks Tim

With the throw on those subwoofers won't it cause the car to jump up and down when you have it real loud??

Looks like a great setup. If I had something like that in my GT the headlights would dim too much and the alternater would implode.

have fun with it.

Now you just have to ask yourself, 'Is it okay to have more power inside the car than you have under the hood?'

I have also upsized the alt to 100 amp at idle.It is out of a 5.7 l Suburban gutted and then built even more powerfull.So with that and a power cap I shouldn't have any dim in the lights at all.Hopefully I can get more power out of my engine but if not it sure will sound great.

Better start saving for hearing aids!

Perhaps it can serve multiple purposes. I could use one in some of my cars to help rattle the bondo loose. Might be a good defibrillator too?
