Look at it in this sense.............it could have been a lot worse! Like for instance having your whole car stolen and take to a chop shop at the next town and then beat the car to death so bad it wasn't worth the scrap prices! Oh not to mention the 5k in audio, 2k in rims and tires and the money I had stashed away.....my bowling bag/balls/shoes. Horrible day! I wish they just spray painted my car......I wish!

Not gonna lie, I hit it just to see what it was and hit the minus one and the guy I did it on didn't even leave bad feedback............ So sorry about that whoever you are, lol!

More pics of the silver truck, which looks to be Toyota and the Chevy Bellair!

Highs amp-Older clarion amp, forget model. Does roughly 75rmsx4. Box-2.0cft ported box @34, built by Twisted0912 over at ca.com. Wire-A shit ton Knu Konceptz KLMX 0/1 and accessories, with big3 finally done. Batteries-1 Redtop group31 up front and 1 Powermaster D5100 in the back. Deadener-100sqft of fatmat throughout and about 60sqft of Secondskin damp, all in the trunk. I need more, lol! Doing 145.1 last time on buddies TL.

I had an older autotek MM amp from a few years ago and I have used a lot of their newer amps, but lower mdels like the SS and Street editions as I am on budgets now with kids, lol! All have done very well in my case. Currently running another maxxsonics product and not one ioda of a problem.

Nice specs on that amp. Kinda wish I would have went that route over my current Hifonics BXi amp, which is the 2608d and wasn't but a little bit more money..........oh well, still like my amp and does the job.

I like both brands, but have had better luck with Kenwood as far as function, durability goes. Also never had once an issue with any buzzing through the speakers with any deck besides Pioneer and had it on majority of mine and would have to go abouts grounding the deck and what not, something I never had to do with any other deck. Also blew my picto fuse in my 880 as well....... I like the older Piooneers for a good 10 years ago, but seems now they are just cheap looking. If I was to buy between the two now, Kenwood x without a doubt!

I don't understand why people have such bad luck with KLMX wire. I have used it in two installs, the 0/1g kit and does fine and I am at around 1600rms and did the big 3 with it. Only problem I see is that it is hard to put ring terminals on, but just need to be patient and it will work. For the money it is hard to beat IMO. All their wire is really good IMO and if you have the extra dough, then hit up the fleks-kable. Also whoever said that the KLMX wire is hollow........obvious you have never used it.

Looking good skip! Really coming along from the last time I saw it on ca.com........them stupid fuggers banned me for avatar abuse 2 years and I didn't even put it there...... Then my AE, first one ever......and now I am banned forever, lol!

Awesome setup! Really diggin' the box design.

My parents still have those subs in the same box with the mid and tweet and do quite well. When me and my wife were married we had the reception in my parents back yard and used those speakers for our wedding as we were trying to save money and off an ole school pioneer receiver and we were jamming the night away till it got till 1000pm, which is when the noise ordiance went into effect and someone finally called the cops on us or so we thought, lol! Police told us they could hear us at their station, which is a good few blocks away, lol! They let us off with a warning as most knew us and even stayed to shoot the shit for a few, but we had to turn off the music.....well turn it down. Anyway, some nice sounding cabinet speakers!

If you like your buddies sound, then why not go with that route? I am sure if he is a good enough friend he would understand. Least in my experiences as I have cool friends that are also into audio. I say a couple xcons would be killer, but that is some moola!

Couple of Dcons off a 1000rms amp should do really well in a ported box. So 310 for subs and I am sure you could find a 1000rms amp to suffice under 200. Would be a nice little setup for ya. I have always had good luck with Maxxsonics stuff and like the BXi amp I have or any autotek amp should do. The 1610BXi amp can be had for under 200 or right around there IIRC on eghey.

Why not a couple of the Icon 10's ported? That is what I am thinking of next.........if money allows me early next year. Will be just drop and play away as my box is perfect for them. I am currently running 1 10" older Pioneer Premier 250spl versions and doing 145.1 off the TL off my Hifonics BXi amp at 2-ohm, so around 1600rms or so, maybe a little less. Sounds good, but wanting to try something else. I do have my electrical up to par, which always helps of course.

Different strokes for different folks, but IMO and I have had a few of each, I would go with kicker. Had 4 mtx 7500's, old school terminators and for Kicker had a few L5'S/L7's and a CVX. MTX's seemed built better though, but always enjoyed the sound more from the Kickers, especially my CVX when I had it. And yes, I know people think it is just the round version of the L7.......I beg to differ.

Sounds like a nice budget woofer. I am thinking next year I may check these out or maybe if money allows the icons as either or will drop right into my box, which is 1.0cft @ 34. Nice box by the way and impressive review.

Awesome setup! Just read it from start to finsh and was a fun read. Kinda sad to see you let it all go, but if you got it for a good price, then so be it. Rex............man, I wish you would have kept the truck. So many people use rex's. Either way, awesome setup!

Awesome advice given in this thread.

I have noticed a little bit of results when working out on my bowflex. Lost 50 pounds on that last year, but gained most of it back, lol! Starting to workout on it again and lost 15 pounds thus far. I workout 5 days a week for 1 hour at a time and watch what I eat. Trying to stick to 1800-2300 calorie intake, but some days are hard. Doing good today though, but tired........only have about 350 calories in me for the day, lol! Won't eat till 1130 tonight either............at work and can't eat at work with a bad stomach...... Hope to hear your results.

Man and I thought I was bad at the netz, lol!

Awesome pics of the dogs. Love the white German Shephard. Wish I could find one local around here. Have had 3 GS's from when I was 8 to now. Currently have a 1 year old GS....well it is my moms, but I visit enough to call her mine as well, lol! She is 70 pounds and only 1 year old. Thinking about getting a weiner dog, but my apartment complex don't let pets in, however he used too. Thinking about asking him. My kids would like an dog around the house. Would like a GS or a lab, but that I am sure he won't go for. I will have to get some pics up one day of Zoe (RIP) and Greta the 1 year old. Sadie, my mixed GS/huskey, I would have to scan.......so no pics of her, lol!

A big x2 to that one. I had my cutty stolen when I was late one day to work quite a few years ago. I had two alarms on it, a viper and a crimstopper as my secondary, well they got to both of them quickly......not to mention my car was very easy to steal.....all cuttys are. Wish I would have invested in a quick release steering wheel! I lost my ass on that car. Any theif if good enough, can and will take what they want. Best way to deter theives is watch where you play it and never bump around where you work or live. Been doing that for the last few years and seems to work now.......that and don't pimp your car out, lol!

Woofers are decent if you get their higher end, which is still budget to most, lol! Amps do rated power IIRC. I have uesed the older audiopipe when they first came out. Did a 149.1 on 4 of their 12's off 1 modded 1501d MTX amp doing over 2k rms. This was a few years ago though. Heard nothing but good things about their amps still.

If you are looking to run the Kinetik up front, then get more yellow tops as your rear batteries. Red tops are a starter battery and they say not to use for caraudio use..........granted many do with good results, but more up front with yellow tops in the rear. The yellow tops and Blue tops are more geared for audio. I currently run a red top up front, with a powermaster 5100D, with no isolator and doing fine, but wouldn't mix match redtops and yellow tops in the rear. Just get another yellow top.
