I like those corner clamps, where did you get them?

Those wheels are scratched... they are just minute scratches that you cant see unless the light hits them just right, sorry to tell ya that bro.

No sir, when I take the center cap out the picture does not come out like that, it is a reflection off the center cap. I am sure Asanti does a better job then that, these are brand new.

No the wheels were not actually put on but the pic gives you an idea.

Here is a short vid.



Please understand this is an 800 watt amp with the gain all the way down, and bass boost set at 25%. Bass on factory deck is set negative and the gains on the convertor are half way. The box is also tuned for classic rock but yet it still gets low and the box is small at 9" tall, yet the bit+h bangs hard for such a huge vehicle and it was moving air. The sound quality was also absolutely amazing all types of music, very smooth roll off.

The baffle is removable.

Well the video sucks you can not see the towel I was holding in the port anyway it moves a lot of air. Enjoy, I will have to make a better video with more light.

I have a few complaints...

Running the wire under the car opens it to debris. (especially with out some sort of plastic shielding.) You can argue the jacking will protect the wire, but the jacket is pretty weak and will chip off... and, well, no one wants that. Not to mention you open it up to a higher degree of weather lessening the life-span of the wire.

It doesn't really matter... but in my opinion that's just bad workmanship instead of just tucking it up under the carpet.

The box is nice. However, sub back port back with out the grill probably would've been better. It probably won't matter, like the wire... but, it's the little things that bother me.

And those rims are pretty dope... but something tells me he's gunna be at a Jay-Z concert and come back to find his truck on cinder blocks.

But Treo equipment is baller. I've always wanted to get my hands on their amps.

with the height requirements he was given he couldnt do sub and port back or down firing which is why he chose this way. Also sub up port back is also most preferred in suv's but Im sure you already knew that. Also Im sure the wire will be fine covered up under the truck because the owner most likely wont be driving through some heavy stuff that could damage the wire.

i absolutely agree with you, especially about the wire. it should have at least be ran through split loom if not something more heavy-duty. the best option would have been under the carpet. safe and sound on the inside.

i just now went back and saw that. that's what i get for not reading everything. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif still, though, i'm just big on running wiring inside.
