Starting the SQ build. Slowly but surely. Will consist of all JL Audio of coarse. 1-10w6v2, 1-500/1, 1-450/4, 2-6w0s and XR650-CSI front stage. Might get it done in time for next season lol :/

Why all JL? Are you sponsored by them? While JL has some nice equipment, they are the end-all, be-all.

Whats photoshopped? lol And I have used JL from 03 through spl to sql. Minus a few tries from Image dynamics and Diamond audio.

I wanted to put a W7 in place of the W6 but space for it wasn't available. The W6 comes really close to the Ttops

If you already have the stuff I'd go with it, but if you still need to buy whatever look into other brands that have as good, or better quality for a lot less. I think JL is overrated and overpriced but thats just me. But looks good.

No offense taken. I have debated with ppl over JL for numerous years. Its a preference of mine which will never change. And the I think the photoshop look comes from the "W6" logo on the sub and grill maybe lol

After some long thought out ways of installing these amps I think I might build a rack where the spare tire should go. Want to keep with the stealth of the install and will be real easy to show if I want to. Will get pics up as I go if anyone cares lol

I would like to see it. I always like seeing a system come together.
I will be doing an extensive install in my new Typhoon one of these days if I ever get a chance to start in on it. It is going to include a double DIN (possibly the new JVC NT3), CDT HD-series components front and rear, CDT Upstage System, the new HD-1000CF sub, and a Clif Designs 2500watt 5-channel amp powering the whole thing.
Your system should be a nice sounding SQ system.

I'm hoping I can get away with using the 6w0's in the sails. In Meca they don't like having any rear fill at all but I think I can Align those out enough. You guys sell any sound deadner? Would be nice to buy from a sponsor here if possible. Btw the W6 sounds amazing in the TA.
