what are you using for component speakers? i also see you have no dynomat? also you didnt say what size wiring your using for your amp. sounds to me like a basic rattlebox car. the jl subs are the best thing you got IMO. i just dropped $3600 with crutchfeild for my new system 2 months ago. still havent installed it since i am waiting for sandblasting and paint. maybe i'll post the components later for you to see what some of us like

it means his 2 12 inch subs are in a box with 4 cubic feet of air space/volume. depending on what the subs require for air space and the volume the magnets and speaker frame of the subs take up this could be very sick indeed. but if you know about all this stuff you can build bad *** boxes that will bump an 8 inch JL better than some peoples 12 inch subs

yeah i know but i'm not into the full bass systems any longer. blew my rear window out of my mustang 5.0 hatch back on the freeway with the windows and t-tops off bumpin kid rock. and i'm gettin old LOL. i am on the color matching thing for my build now. that same mustang LOL and i wanted the kenwood **** to match. i have always had infinity component speakers so i am not changing. i did consider the jl speakers too but after a long time with infinity i wont change. even though the jl component speakers sounded just as good and would match the subs. i still have a few sets of infinitys in the mustang from the last system. gonna give those to good will for a tax write off if my pops dont want em. with a new build its just time for new stuff. no budget for this build either. going to SEMA next year with it

yep we're all different. systems are seriously like oil brands. honestly i like the clarion head units too. i have had them and pioneer and kenwood and sony, and pannasonic, and alpine, but i like clarion the best. but for this build i like that the usb wire on the kenwood can be routed to the glove box. i see so many young builders now with their systems but theres a crappy lookin wire out the face of the head unit for the ipod. just looks crappy to me. so the kenwood wire can be routed through the rear of the deck to the glove box for a clean and hidden look. i dont even have an ipod yet cause the last one i paid 250 for it but i didnt know how to down load songs off it and since i like stuff from the 80's no one wanted to spend the time putting my cds on it so i gave it away. thats why i got the cd changer too. maybe this time i'll get someone to down load my cds for me to my new ipod. i'm gonna offer a free ipod like whatever i get to anyone willing to do that for me. and i had an ipod that said it could hold 66,000 songs so i forgot what it was but it was 250 bucks. thats a good trade huh? yep i still buy cd's.

I like the subs, good amp kit, i think the capacitator is a massive waste of time and money in every single audio system on earth.. for the price of a cap you can get a sla 33 ah battery or smaller. jvc head unit is ok, i have sold jvc before but i'm a die hard alpine fan till the bitter end. props for choosing components of any kind- better than a coax setup. and good job choosing sound deadener, even though dynomat is the most pop name, it is rather expensive.

if the surround (rubber part between cone and basket) has separated, you can glue it back- if its on the frame size, if its a puncture hole, use finger nail polish- it works, but if its a foam surround, that is a lot harder to fix. I know partsexpress.com sales replacement surround for subs, last time i looked on there i saw the red surround used on the old CV Vega subs.

i have an odyssey battery going in the car with my newest system. i have them in my other cars (5 vehicles) and i had them in my boats in the past (6 batteries in 2 boats) the odyssey batteries are the best IMO. expensive but made in the USA with no recycled materials. even the lead is mined in the US. missouri i believe
