Finally finished my system (pics inside)

[Holty]

I have been sub-less for over a year now since i started putting my system in. I started out with the intentions of installing a system without a sub because at that time i could not afford EVERYTHING right away so i decided to do the mids and highs right the first time and then when i had the money add the sub later on. Well, i finally got around to finishing the system with a sub and everything sounds AWESOME! I can't believe i've gone this long without bass. I listen to everything from rap to country (except punk, i hate punk) and the addition of the sub makes everything sound so much better. I'm very proud of this setup even though there are alot bigger and better systems out there, this one is perfect for ME.

here is a list of the components installed:

Alpine CDA-7894 MP3 Headunit
JL Audio XR650 components in the front with adjustable xovers
Infinity Reference 5752cf's in the rear
Kicker ZX460 4-channel amp running the mids & highs
JL Audio 12W3v2 dual voice coil sub
JL Audio 300/2 amp bridged mono

here is a pick of how i had it wired up before adding the sub.

lesson #1: if you leave your wiring looking like this your asking for trouble. I had alternator whine something terrible until i fixed up the wiring.

Here is the wiring now after taking time and doing it right!

Holty,

I put my amps in the same place as yours, but ran the wires throught the crack on the right side. We thought about slicing the carpet, but decided the other way was better. Is that a 12"? Which model? What else did you get? Looks like a Alpine deck, which one?
