hey guys hows it going? my name is matt, i reside in wilmington, nc born and raised. attending a local college and should be getting my associates in electronics engineering this time next year. anyways enough about me and need not mind the username as i no longer have the dakota nor the w7's. currently driving a scion tC. ive been through a different route lately, even had a full blown elemental designs system w/a nine.1, 13av2 and a nine.2 on the 6500s, but now im on more of a budget and already have a 2 channel for my components. thus far i still have the elemental designs eDi 6500 mids and highs, completely deadend the doors, inner fenders and hatch area, and just running a premier 680mp headunit... will be the last of my upgrades once i get the rest since it can run my ipod. first off, i know mtx isnt the best, but ive never had any problems with them, and i know what to expect, just wanted some opinions on what u guys think, im getting pretty good deals on the equipment so i cant complain... so here it goes.

headunit

- premier deh-680mp (had installed for about a year now)

front stage

-elemental designs 6500s (installed)

front stage amp

-mtx ta5302... 75x2 @ 4 ohm ( a little underpowering but better safe than sorry)

sub amps

-2 x mtx ta5601... 600x1 @ 2 ohm stable

subs

-2 x mtx t8510-44... 10" dual 4 ohm subs, figured each paralled to one amp a piece @ 2 ohms and set gains appropriately

wiring

-already installed tsunami 0awg amp kit

deadining

-eDead doors, inner fenders, hatch area

anyways, i know its not much but what do u guys think about it? when my money flow becomes better and i graduate college ill be refining it once again. thanks guys.

Not tOo big a fan of mtx, but if its what you want and like it then that's all that matters.

What kind of deal are you getting on the sub amps and subs?
