Default pics of my setup...











JVC avx1 hu
cdt-hd62 comps
JL10W6
phoenix gold tantrum 500.2; sub
phoenix gold xenon 200.2; comps

i finally got my humount bracket in (he had to make me a new one that would fit this headunit's faceplate) and holy **** i could not wait, it looks 100x better being flush mounted than that POS generic mounting bracket i had in temporarily which stuck out and looked all kinds of ghetto.
overall i absolutely love everything i've got, sounds amazing and does all i want it to and MUCH more...i would never push this to its limits or i'd go deaf, but i do have it cranked up pretty high most of the time
oh, also have about 50sq ft of second skin's damplifier in the doors.

do you use the headunit's trim ring? mine was still a TINY bit too small to fit the ring, but i did some tinkering and got it to fit. i should have just had him make the bracket the same length as the faceplate and done away with the trim ring all together

i didnt pay anywhere near that, nor would i. but thats not saying this isnt a badass HU, because i really like it. i've only had alpines up until now. i had an old jvc kamleon waaay back in the day and it never gave me any problems but it was deffinitely not the highest quality...JVC's quality has for sure gone way up since then, or atleast with this one anyway.

i had a chick that works at an audio place use her discount so i got it for 280

Excellent job on the setup, extremely clean. HU is damn nice too! Id've gone w/ two similar amps only because im major OCD and that'd get to me, but setup is sick. Post it in the sticky too so other ppl will see it in future.

yeah i didnt like the idea of having 2 different looking amps, but i'd had the tantrum for a while and i got a badass deal on the xenon so i figured what the hell. atleast theyre the same brand
