Well its done, but I didn't make it in time for the show. I woke up at 6am to finish it and noticed that my HO alt was laying on the ground....in a rush I screwed up and installed the stock alt //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
Only installed one of the little batts and with that and the mean green alt it holds 13.6 with the music cranked enough to intermittently hit the clip light on the AQ remote. Pretty happy with that situation.
So impressions, no tuning yet, its fuggin loud. The bostons get **** loud, tweets are bright and there could be more low/midbass but the drivers just don't take the power down low, have to cross them pretty high.
The AQ2200 and the HDC318 are a great combo. I listen to mostly rock and this thing straight jams on rock. Threw in a few rap songs and it gets down there too. Honestly I think the sub could take more powa, but I got the 2200 to where the remote would occasionally light the clip light and the sub hung in great. Will see how things go once the sub breaks in.
Deadening was well worth it, I can crank it up and its pretty quiet outside sealed up. I've got an hdc315 sittin here....already thinking about gettin it reconed to another 18 and picking up another 2200 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif
