I love the voltage readout on the cap...nice touch. I read mine from the Scanalyzer software on the CarPC....it's amazing how much useful data is on OBDII that people never see... even fuel remaining in 10ths of a percent...as opposed to the crappy needle on the dash....
Anyways, you go me thinking I need tweets in the rear now too, not just the front....
I am extremely happy with the new subs in my car, just a little sparkle up top and I will call it a day...
p.s. my sister just got an apartment last night in Redondo and will be moving there B4 x-mas... I am sure I will be traveling out there in a few months!

I soooo want a Scanalyzer, everyone tells me I'm really missing out.
As for the rear tweeters: those are one of the things that I love most about this install. They really do a great job of completing a stereo. I'd highly recommend the Infinity's that I put in but as you see, it's tough to get them back there without a little cutting.
Redondo isn't all that far from where I am...let me know when your'e out in the area, it's always good to meet a fellow rotorhead.

Man I wish I could hear that.
Looks awesome. Makes me want to organize all the wires in my trunk.
Soon I'll be able to get to OC "quicker", maybe I'll give you a call when I'm in the area.

I happen to know a guy who won an amp at SS9. Polk MOMO 400.4
And I, I mean "he" was going to sell it on ebay but hasn't yet.

Scremn: The guy who won that amp was a pretty cool guy, I'm sure he'd hook up a fellow SoCal person with a good price.

I know there are holes in the carpet underneath the jack storage in the trunk.
Would only have to loosen the storage bin and run the wires underneath and then tighten it down. So it can be run underneath the storage.

You can run the wiring underneath.
Just unbolt the storage bin and run the wires then bolt it back down on top of them.
There is no need to run the wires into and then back out of the plastic jack storage area.
(Thought that was explained in my previous post)

Here's the trick to getting the wires to the amp: The storage bin comes with a divider down the middle of it that most likely needs to be cut out if you've got a large amp. (look at my pics again, you can see the hole)
You can either run the wires through that slit OR if you want them completely hidden, like I did then you will cut another small hole into the tray directly beneath the connections.
In order not to smash those wires, I added 4 small pieces of wood (1 in each corner) to elevate the tray a bit so that the wires would lay underneath the tray without any weight on them.
