system eval

After asking so many questions  I'd like to get some opinions on my system.

Sony CDX-M610 Head Unit, 2 Pioneer 5.25" coaxial speakers (TS-A1365), 2 Pioneer 6x8 coaxial speakers (TS-A6867), 2 Rockford Fosgate RFP3412 HE subs (sealed enclosure), 1 Rockford Fosgate Power 500bd amp, 1 Kenwood KAC-649S amp, and a 1 farod ohm Rockford Fosgate cap.

I have a second Kenwood KAC-649S that I'm not using right now, but may add to the system on the back of the amp rack (since there's no more room on the front!)  to split the 5.25's from the 6x8's.  This is all being put into an '02 Mustang

Sounds good ( except I'm not a big fan of co-axials  ) I like components better for imaging purposes. Do you find under curent load that you get any light dimming ? The 1 farad cap seems a little small for the system that you have. Otherwise I would just add an EQ and X-Over to the system to do the fine tuning. Great system otherwise and do you have any pics ??

The Mustangs come with Fords heavy duty alternator, and it's been handleing the load quite well.  I have not had even the slightest hint of dimming, which was a relief.  I've had to use 2nd batteries and isolators before to keep that from happening, but thankfully not this time.

The cap is only running to the Rockford 500bd, which only calls for a .5 farod.  But the Kenwood is on the same distribution block, so I guess it could draw from it as well.  Eventually I'll add an EQ and X-Over, but I've got some more designing to do first (space is extremely limited in the new stangs).  I'm using a manufactured enclosure for the 12's, and I'd really like to make a custom one to fit the trunk better.  The amp rack will be re-made as well and given a better, more professional, look (carpeted and better materials).  I used what I had in the way of materials to get me roll'n again.

No pics yet, unfortunately.  No web site to post them.  I can take some and e-mail them to you if you want though.

That would be great if you could email them to me. velocity@valleycable.com

send some pics my way at ineedsubs@hotmail.com

sounds like a really loud mustang, I want those subs.

It's the loudest install I've done.  I can't sit in the car for more than a few minutes before the pressure in my ears makes me get out, and that's only at half volume.  I'm trying to find someone with a db meter so I can get it measured.  I'll get the e-mails and pics out as soon as I can, I'm a little behind things right now due to a death in the family.
