Thanks bro, thats pretty much what caused me to do my system, I was down to one rear speaker and one door speaker!

It sounds amazing. I constantly listen to it wayyyy too loud (my ears litterly hurt) and have to completly turn it off sometimes. I cant help it, I have yet been able to turn it too loud that it distorts.

The only things I will change will be with the amp. It emits a blue light when powered, so Ima crack it open and change them to red (my interior lights are red) and I plan to make a box that will flush-mount the amp with the carpet.

Thats it. I absolutly love this purchase.

That seals it for me then. As soon as Ian at KeeAudio gets a break I am gonna look into getting this amp and install kit. If he gets me a sweet package deal maybe the sub and enclosure .

Congrats man, you'll like it. Mine just crapped on me. I dont believe it is the amp though, it has multiple diagnostic measures to keep from hurting the amp. I hit a bump and now I'm getting a problem, I'm pretty sure a speaker wire just came loose, I'll troubleshoot it tomorrow and fill yall in! If not I guess I'll call IAN to make good on that year warrenty

Keep in mind, this amp has seemed to run pretty damn hot, expecually as loud as I listen to my music along with the tempatures here. Id recommend somehow incorperating fans if you can. I plan on flush mounting the amp with my carpet and 2 computer case fans.

Im not, there's no point. My midwoofers (sails) and sub (trunk) in the back would drown it out anyway.

I know it's kinda off topic but.... I saw on your steering wheel the volume and seek and blah controls for the stereo were lit up... Is that stock... :/ bc mine do not light up, are there bulbs under those controls.. maybe mine are bad, because it sucks when I'm driving at night and I have to feel for which button to press because I can't see them lol, let me know anyone thanks. I'm driving a 96 firebird, 3.8v6 model.. I know no v8 not yet anyway haha.

Screen printed max power ratings for the loose. Pretty clean install though. I would have sound deadened the hell out of the doors, hatch, and back speaker area at the very least.
