They are in ported boxs i forget the exact specs of them we went through about 10 different box setups. At first we couldn't get them tuned right so we gave up on the H2s and went with 4 18" kicker subs but we keep blowing them out. So back to the H2s and everything has been golden.

I will take some pictures sometime in the next few days put them up.

There is NO need for that many sets of highs!!!!!!!

 

if you heard what it sounded like, youd be surprised.. more speakers not working as hard will last longer too.. its balanced out, trust me..

anyways your not alone just remeber theres millions of people out there and probly alot of them with a better system

 

im not sayin mines the best.. i know by far its not.. but it seemed as though this thread was started with a person who really didnt think about how much their system actually cost them..
ive changed around with a few things of mine.. different amplifers and wiring plus 3 more distribution blocks..
but as i said, i do not think that my system is one of the best out there.. sorry if i made it seem that way..

 

You know we all have way too much money in our systems for the same reason....

I never really thought about it... I wanted great sound, the best possible. I wanted to do this will a single brand, and I had good experiences with the clarity of Kenwood Excelon.. Well, one thing led to another, just a part here, a part there to make it sound its best... BAM WAYYY too much money...

I should have started it all with a money cap. Instead of just saying doing whatever it took to sound "blah blah insert your goal here" Of course its too far along to turn back now, all I can do now is add some sound deadening... But I don't regret it too much, sounds amazing, just cost sooo much.

Moral of the story?
Make your maximum price clear from the beginning.
Then choose your goal/s for the system.
Be happy knowing you didn't go overboard.

 

I true installer is never done.

 

You guys are crazy. If the money is IN the system, take it out and spend it ON the system! Unless you're investing IN it...hmm...oh well. This thread will come in handy when i go to build my setup.
