Pics of my Kicks and amp install

Here you go. I was going to do it all myself, but just did not have the time or the ability (hand was in cast for 4 weeks), so I decided to fork up some $$ and have someone finish it up for me.




And I still have the ability to use my Dead pedal, just haven't actually put my new pedal on there yet.

Here is the amp setup:



Sorry if the size is too big, I can resize them if you wish.

Re: Pics of my Kicks and amp install

Wow, that is sweet looking. I have some custom kick panels, but nothing as nice as that. I don't have them in yet because they were made for 4" separates and I am going to house 5 1/4's in there. It looks really clean!

Yo, how much $$$ did those cost? That had to be a great deal over what I paid for mine to be done. Those look VERY clean. For my setup though I could question the location of the 4" mid-bass.

I probably would not have done them like that because of imaging and such, but that is my opinion. The look of those kick *** WAY over what mine look like.

Your whole system looks really nice, and clean.

I will get pictures of mine up by this next weekend I'm hoping. Competition is Friday night so I'll let everyone know how I did.

Just to let everyone know the car reproduces 45-51 Hz about the same.. It is a pretty large sweet spot in our cars, so that is really good for SPL.

Later guys.

First off, thanks for the compliment on the kicks. I am confused by what you said about not doing them like that because of imaging. Just about every set of kicks I have seen built for imaging are setup this way. You know something others don't? I paid more than I would have liked to for the whole setup, but I didn't have the time to do it myself. Next go around I will do it myself. The whole install including the kicks was about 8 bills. I already had the custom box built for the sub.

Can't wait to see pics of your setup

Well, the only thing I don't like is the theory of having the tweets on the bottom (blocked by objects much easier than when on the high side) and the mid-bass throwing so much into the dash up top.

That is all I'm saying.. I had the mid-bass on the floor (bottom) and tweets up high.. Because you will notice a tweeter being blocked much easier than you will a mid-bass You know what I mean?

I'm not doggin your system at all man, your setup is tight and I'm sure it sounds sweet.. And it looks just phat man!!

Alright, here is how mine cost me.. I just wanna see if I got screwed.. I get a break on labor because I prepare a lot of things & I know the owner & everybody at the local shop.. Plus bring them quite a bit of business..

Kicks - $400 5 layers of fiberglass in kicks alone..
Speakers - $580 (JL Audio 653-cs)
Amp - $430 (JL Audio 300/2)
B-Quiet Brown Bread $150 (70 sq. ft.)

How does that sound?
