Default Finished system..... check it

well i got my stereo in and pretty much completed saturday night and today i reinstalled the rest of my interior and finished sound deadening a few things.
first of all...
sound deadening is absolutely incredible. every time i added a little more and put in a few more panels it just got so much quieter. now that i have some deadening on the back of the panels and the carpet and seats are all back in now..... its serisouly SO fricken quiet. my exhaust is almost unnoticable. i am so amazed by what this stuff has done for road noise and squeeks and rattles in the car.

2nd of all.... the new stereo is pretty fuggin rediculous. i need to build the new sub box still and possibly figure out a better way to mount the amps but for now it works. and man o man does this **** ****.

heres the lowdown...
-Panasonic CQ-C8401U MXE head unit....
http://www.speedsound.com/product.as...ific=jnrohprok
this deck is pretty sweet, i havent messed with it too much but i love it so far.

-Orion Components in the front which came with the car
-MB Quart Coaxials in the back which came with the car
-2 12" Polk Momo subs 400 RMS each
-JBL BP1200 Mono Amp
-Pioneer 4 channel

the speakers are so much cleaner and crisp sounding compared to before with the Monsoon deck and amp.
The subs also are now at full power as opposed to before where i had a 500 watt amp running them.hehe

I got everything used except the speakers like i said and the sound deadening. In total i have about 900 bucks into it and it was well worth it. i love driving the car now, even tho it has snow dubs and its cold as hell out.lol

Nice, I have been watching the progress on your car. As for the sound deadening, that is something i have been interested in. Where did you get your stuff and for how much? Looks nice by the way.

im building a custom box this week when i get the time, its already been cut out on a CNC machine with 3/4" MDF. i designed it in CAD and it should fit perfectly in the well, and the interior volume is dead on for the specs of the subs.

as for the amp, its 1200 RMS. each sub is 400 RMS so i have a spare 200 watts. im actually pushing about 450 to each sub, which is way more than enough and i have more to spare, so that amp is by far enough to rock them.
