New system installed (pics)

[dek86]

Hey guys I just installed a new system in my explorer. It is 2 12 inch L7's and a jbl 1200 watt amp. The box it is in is a huge and ported. This is soooooo loud!!! It drowns out my stock door speakers so that will be the next thing I get. Anyone got any good recommendations for affordable door speakers?

The subs and box:

The amp mounted on the back of the box (double mdf in the back so I didnt have to put holes in the box):

Thanks for looking!!

Geeze yall were quick to respond. thanks for the good comments. Um, i got everything off ebay and the box custom made so it was around 700 after shipping for the heavy subs and box. Yeah it takes up ALL the room which kinda sucks. And it weighs a bunch too so taking it out is a pain. But oh well I dont use that space much so its all good.

I noticed you can't install or use your cargo cover anymore with this setup. How do you plan to hide this so that thieves wouldn't be able to see that you have this expensive system? When I had a system in my car I usually turn down my system 10 blocks before I get to my destination. Otherwise it invites thieves. You are like inviting them and telling them, "hey, look and see what I got!"

Don't take it the wrong way, just looking out for you, man.

Actually, i can still use the cargo cover if i slide the box forward a few inches. And, I have limo tint all the way around so they cant see in very well. Also I always turn my stuff down when im getting close to where im gonna be. Im gonna put an alarm on here pretty soon so hopefully that will help out too
Thanks

my friend is runnin 1500 watts through 3 12's and he got pioneer side speakers and they are unbelievably clear and are not overpowered at all by the subs.

sweet setup, might I recommend doing something else with your amp though........ so many possibilities

If i were you i would get some of the Pioneer speaks mentioned above if you want to go cheaper (get em at walmart for about 55) or you could go for some Infinity Kappa 5x7 for about 100$ or you could get some JBL or Infinity component speakers for about 150 to 200 on crutchfield or sounddomain but then you would need an amp to power those up but that would sound good.
