Pics of my new install After shopping around for a couple months and hearing every speaker imaginable this is the system i decided on.
Kenwood 915DVD reciever with Nav add on
Sub amp - Memphis mc1000D 1100 watt got it down to 1 ohm stable
Subs - 3/ 10" subs Eclipse sw7104dvc T4's Diecast aluminum
replacment Component and rear fillers - Eclipse se8362 6" component
se8363 6" fillers
Subthump made the box for me and i was VERY impressed by the quality of it.
I figured i came this far so i might as well make use of the 5.1 surround, so i had them custom install 2 Eclipse se8233 centers 3 1/2" speakers in the dash aside the front window defroster. (this was the BEST investment!)
Memphis mca2004 4 way amp for the component and fillers
This system sounds amazingly LOUD and CLEAN. I really like the kenwood reciever because all the crossovers are touchcontroll from the front.
the sound advantage in harwood hieghts IL. hooked me up in a little over 1 day from start to finsh along with a couple other little extra's.
first extra was a blue neon licence plate holder in the back powered by a toggle under the steering wheel. second extra was a blue neon strip around the reciever area also powered by a seperate toggle located under the steering wheel area. hidden from plain view of course.
http://www.rakereward.com/stereo.htm is where the pictures are located. the file sizes are a little big but nothing for a broadband connection...
Let me know what you think!

Pretty sweet set up. How do you like the subthump box? I am considering a purchase from them for my 2 12" subs and would like some feedback from buyers. By the way where are your amp/s mounted? Looks awesome.

everything looks great except the neons.
neons are way too ricey, and the way its all squiggly around the center console just looks cheap.
now if you had a fiberglass box with glass/mirors and neons then its cool.
and the license plate...... nastiest thing you can do to a car.

I like the system.. Really nice, with gobs of power. However, I would ditch the neons, mostly the neon wire around the radio, personally, it looks like

Does your Kenwood receiver play mp3,s on DVD's? I am looking for a unit to do this and am not having any luck. May have found a Pioneer but really would like to stick with Kenwwod Excelon. Thanks

I did the same thing but with a 4 X 6. It sounds really nice but leaves a big oval on the windshield that won't defrost/defog.
