ok guys, i got my car back yesterday from the shop, car toyz in egg harbor township, nj. here is the laundry list of stuff that was installed-
alpine type r components, 6.5"
type r 12" sub in properly sized sealed box
alpine pdx 4.150
MTX re-q
sirius sportster 5, direct wired to HU and permanently installed/hardwired.
i kept the stock amp and sub in conjunction with the added stuff. i have to admit that the sound is absolutely incredible. it's full, clear and crisp. i have the 12" sub tuned to pick up where the stock sub leaves off, so the bass is nice and low and not overpowering in the upper bass region. everyone who has sampled the system has commented on how well it performs. i had a neighbor sit in the car during KRS-ONE's 'step into a world' and he could not believe it was only one 12" sub.
the installation was top notch. they ran the wires properly in the jambs, the amp and re-q are installed underneath the plastic tray that resides between the spare and the back seats. nothing was cut or modified, they are securely mounted and TOTALLY hidden. access is easy for tuning purposes- one only has to undo two screws to remove that plastic panel. the box is easily removed by two spring connectors for when i need storage or want to lose weight.
i really am excited about the way this thing turned out and i want to thank those who helped me with alot of information, especially fourthmeal.
