That all looks sweet, I'm curious though do you have another kick panel box for the drivers side??

yeah there is one almost identicle to the one on the passengers side. they really improved sound in my vehicle, if you are worried about them getting in the way they dont at all, thanks for the comments.

I just thought of another question. how do you wire the kick panel speakers? Do you pig tail the door speakers or something else?

I used to be a basshead, then i turned more into a sq guy.. i became obsessed with a clean sounding system... The infinity's will bang when asked upon but they are definitly more of an sq subwoofer.... mine are slightly underpowered... by about 100 watts, i am currently giving them 312 rms each and i think they still have way more to give.. i am looking at the JBl BPX 500.1 2 of them one for each sub... i cant tell you any numbers of what they are putting out, i have never had it metered... my buddie and i actually designed a system for a competition at the local raceway.. it consisted of 6 12 in pioneer subs each running 400rms.. it slamed... ran 4 amps 4 batteries and 300 amp alternator.. it was in a bravada...

nice i like hearing setups with alot of entry level subs. kinda change of pace so to speak. i heard 8 comp 10s. the black kickers, walled in a blazer on a kicker 1000.1 and it was way loud. but 2 amps? why not just get the jbl 1200.1 and run it at the higher, "2 or 4 probly" ohm load and the amp will run cooler and more efficient for more sq and less distorion :) those 1200.1 amps are the bomb!

Good point i did look into thoes amps but sadly they dont make them anymore.. i wanted to keep the same look with the plexiglass but there new gigantic monoblock is the gto14001.. it has a solid front.. also i dont think i would have enough room to mound them side by sid with my battery. my only option is to find a 1200 somewhere.. or just get 2 new bpx series.. i aso like how they are the power series and designed in conjunction with crown.. i am a firm beliver in crowns technology...

yes crown deserves the crown. lol car audio joke! anyways.... you can get the 1200.1 off ebay for like 200 or so. very good buy i would say.

What kind of infinity components do you have installed? Are they the 5.1 or the 6.1
I've got a set of 6.1 in my car.
What do you think of them?
Posted By: ragsports
Date Posted: July 22, 2009 at 11:22 PM
I have the 5.1 components. I like how they sound. They do lack a little at first in the-mid range. You have to give them time to break in and then their mid-range will improve. Make sure you give them alot of clean power, as they are very power hungry speakers. (took me 3 amps to finally get it right) When set up and tuned properly with a good amp the speakers are amazing.
