Default Just installed my small system

I just got done installing my amp and sub in the car. Amp is an old Rockford that has 250 Watts and the sub is a Alpine 10" inclosed in a stealth box. This thing hits harder than any other sub I have ever had. I will get picks up soon. I have the amp mounted where the spare tire used to sit. I have C5 brakes up front on the car so that 16" rim for the spare won't clear the caliper.

Type-Rs hit harder, and Type-Xs are an SQ sub, but those type Ss are really good too. I wouldn't waste my money on any E series stuff though, not when the S is only slightly more expensive.
