Doesn't look like you cut any corners! Should be a real nice setup when you get it installed. You'll have to post up pics of the sub box and headunit/humount when you're done.

That should look and sound amazing when it's all installed and ready to go man, I love the metallic and chrome look of everything. It makes the equipment look so much nicer.

I'm going to pick up one of those HUmount pieces one day, I think they look really good.

Any shots of the new deck?

looks like you have a little project going on. When do you think it will be done,and did you upgrade the battery too?

I have 18"s on the front and 20"s on the rear. The reason why I asked about the battery is that the caps will need to see voltage and current. Well if you have a weak stock style battery most likely your are going to lose voltage and that can hinder your performance.Plus the main job of the caps is to regulate your voltage to give you the most power to your system.

Personally I have three stinger batteries 1 sp1000 under the and 2 sp1700 in the back with a stinger 10 farad hybrid cap. I started out with three optima yellow tops ,but when I upgraded the factory alternator to a stinger 250 amp I kept on melting the side post on the yellow top battery ( under the hood).I went through two yellow tops within a week because the side post kept on melting. So I said F-it I switched to stinger and everything has been cool since. Both batteries are awesome in my book, I just been have better luck with the stingers.

Thanks
What I had to do since the tires are larger that the factorys, is get a programmer and program the new tire size in the computer.

personally, i would have found a more powerful amp for the front/rear speakers than the A2002T.....at 4ohms, those amps are only going to be pushing 50w RMS to the fronts & around 75w for the rears (3-ohm impedance on the rears)....with the subs getting almost 500w each (if wired correctly, i.e., all voice coils in parallel), the bass will probably drown out the highs if it's not turned way down.

i'd look at putting at least 100w RMS to the fronts/rears, if not 125w - 150w RMS....the speakers can handle it, so why not give it to them? it will only help. in reality, you could give the fronts/rears 200w - 250w each without much worry....just make sure to match the gain on the amps to the head unit properly so you will only be amplifying actual music, instead of amplifying music & noise.

oh, and btw, 6 farads is probably a bit of overkill for the wattage you will be pushing (~1000w RMS....don't really need a cap for the mid/high range amps). 1 farad will generally support 1000w, so for the wattage you will have, a 2 farad cap would be sufficient, with a single 3 farad cap like the ones you got giving you that extra bit of headroom for ambient spikes. if you only use one of the caps, it will make installation that much easier, and will still be plenty to support your system.
