Default Photo of my custom setup.

Well the last time I showed a picture of my setup I had everything cloth covered and different brands. Last summer I changed everything out to pretty much Kicker peices. I think everything sounds amazing for the price and I love the 5 channel amp. I have the KS component speakers front and rear, CompVR sub, and the Kicker 5 channel (700.5). I'll post the rest of the picture's in the appearance section once I have time to load them up.

I like it...very clean cut, per say.

Can you still put the T-tops inside the slots?

Where did you find the vinyl covering for that amp rack? That is a VERY nice install. The rack makes it so much easier to hid wiring without having to cut carpet and just looks so finished! Gotta love stealth enclosures for practicality and sound! I love having one amp do all the work too. Simplifies everything!! Excellent work!!

And its a Kicker amp , not a fan of rockford stuff.

As for the vinyl I just went to a fabric store to find it. They have so many choices for cloth, leather, ect you can pretty much match anything. The stealthbox was made by me also with 3/4" material board and is covered in the same vinyl.
