Running 6 3/4 Infinity Kappa Components in the front doors, same in the sail panels, and 5x7 Infinity Kappa's in the rear deck... (had to cut to fit those)... And two 10 inch subs in the rear... I dont know about running at half power or whatever, its just as loud as it ever was, and sounds 10 times better.
