Stealth Mode: Downfire config gives better bass and keeps sub and amp hidden from curious eyes when tailgate is open.

Total system power = 500W RMS/1,000W Max - plenty for my daily driver, but I might add another DVC 10" for a stable 1 ohm load of 500W RMS/1,000W Max on the sub amp, bringing the system total to 700W RMS/1,400W Max.

When my hybrid engine shuts down to just electric, I like to refer to it as "stealth mode" because you can't hear anything but the road rolling under your tires - that is unless I have the stereo crankin'!

Watching my MPG readout and driving to gain the best fuel economy is my new "video game." For once in my life, I now look forward to rush hour traffic - it gives me better fuel economy and I get to spend more time in my "mobile sound environment." Ah, my happy place... :D
