My new audio
I finally got around to installing my old gear in my new car...
Deck is a Kenwood KDC-X869
Sirius Starmate tuner is located in the sunglass holder
Amp is a Sony ES XM-7547 (The last non-sucky amp Sony made)
Cap is a Blitz 2 Farad
Enclosure is by Z Enclosures
Subs are two 10" Boston Pro 10.4LF's
All cable and power parts are Monster Cable
Here's the pics (excuse the horrible lighting. Sun was not cooperating):
Yes, that's my goofy a*s in the mirror.

Paint's already scratched. I'll probably move it anyways though. I was gonna have the tint guy put a little clear piece there when he did my clear bra but I forgot to ask. Oh well. My paints not perfect anymore anyways. Today a truck threw a rock up at my driver's door. Made a chip about the size of a pencil eraser.

And yeah, I've got a brand new Z and I also have rock chips already.

What I'd like to do is 1 sub, 2 amps, widescreen tv, and my mini ps2. Obviously for show purposes. I have the amps, mini ps2, and the sub (which I'll probably trade up for a 10") and my DVD/Navi is already installed. My plans are to put the 10" and amps between the rear speakers and strut bar and the widescreen tv (flush mounted) underneath the rear strut bar....like his subs are in the pic. Now I could also do the sub in the glove box replacement enclosure so that it will free up that much more room to put the other items back there and have a much cleaner more stealth look to it. Hopefully you are kinda picturing what I have in my mind. It should be pretty bad *** when i'm done with it.

If you want to do a single 10, put it in an enclosure behind the driver's seat, where the factory Bose 10" goes. Mount the amps where mine is. If I were going to run two amps, I'd put both side by side where my one amp is and I'd hide all of the power stuff (cap and blocks) on the underside of the amp rack.
My RCA cable runs down the center console. The power and remote turn-on wires run along the passenger's side kick panel and sill plate, under the carpet. The power wire comes into the car through the ECU wiring harness grommet in the battery compartment. The grond wire is attached to the body at the child seat anchor in the hatch area.

Kelli has a single 10" sub mounted in the factory BOSE location. My stereo guy used one of those slim profile Alpine subs and did a custom downfire box back there and it sounds pretty good. Still, one 10" sub is pretty weak. You can do the same downfire setup in the glove compartment too and then you have two 10s completely hidden and still some room underneath the sub to store paperwork.

got pics or the model number for the alpine? I have been thinking of getting rid of my current box because it now flies to the back of the car when I take off fast since I got my turbos, lol

EDIT: I found one picture on-line where you can see most of one of my FG boxes. It was the same on the other side.
