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.

yup, stock, and the bulbs are under there. IF you decide to fix it, make sure you DISCONNECT the airbag first!!

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.
