[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 2807159, member: 549629"] The keys to a good install? Well, that's a very broad subject, considering you aren't even asking about any one facet of car audio, just your whole system in general as described by a few words in a sig. Your sig describes every major component of your system, but lacks any form of instllation details. Its in those details that you will find all the keys to the 'proper' install. Some general examples would be improving your speaker placement and/or positioning, not simply screwing new speakers to the old stock mount locations and calling it good. Another example would be to properly sound deaden the vehicle. An example with the subwoofer if you were going for SPL, doing the install 'right' would involve measuring your actual vehicle's specific transfer function and then designing your enclosure to reinforce that frequency range, rather than simply relying on some kid on the net telling you to 'tune to 45hz for SPL'. Properly setting your gains would be an obvious key to success. Even things like altering the shape and material design of your interior to better accomodate an audio system. Those are all VERY general examples. Each of them has a wealth of specific things that can be done to improve your system/sound. Some are very common sense, like adding sound deadening. Some are not common knowledge, like exactly where is the best places to apply sound deadening, why, how much, and of what type/material. We cannot possibly tell you specifics on your system, as these things are generally dependant on the specific situation/vehicle/stereo/motives. I suggest if you are looking for help with some of these sorts of things, make up a short list of ways you feel your system needs improving. Be as specific as possible, dont just say 'less distortion' or 'louder'. Show some pics. Give as much info as possible. Then we can be more help. But in the end, we are dealing with each other (all of us) through computer screens. What we can do or suggest to improve your system is limited. Perhaps a run to a local (respected) install shop for a short time answering this same question (how can your system be improved) is in order. If they simply say buy new speakers, or amps, or whatever, they weren't a good shop.
