Cool beans, should sound great. Still got my VC100s sitting here.

yeah it should, only thing im worried is that my 100.4 wont put as much power to the oem's as i would like. i had a 100.2 on some oem;s in my truck but i still think they need a good 150 to shine.

well see though

You would be suprised. Before I had mine running active off my Punch 25tolife 150, I had them running passive off the crossovers that came with the VC100s. I was using a Orion 4002 (100w RMS x 2 @ 4ohm) and sounded very well. Got pretty loud and sounded good considering I didnt even have the mids mounted.

I think 100w will be fine for them for the time being, but they do shine with more power though,//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

yeah, well when i had the oem;s off my 100.2 they still sounded great, but you could tell they needed around 150 to shine. i think the vc100's will be great off it though

well here are a couple pics from the baffle progress for my 6.5's. you can see the stock baffles in the pic and they have alot of curves in them and im trying to achieve the same depth.

i was going to pay someone 20$ to do this, but i figured i would tackle it myself since i had 3 days off. here's the making of them.

still gotta cut out the speaker hole, but you get the idea

heres my new knu rca's

and here are some pics of the 800prs installed. i still need to modify my mounting kit and fill in the pocket underneath the deck. i dont like the look of that pocket there, and then another one under my heat controls. ill end up tackling that another weekend.

sorry no pics of the install of it yet, but i will snap some pics of that when i go to clean up the wires behind it and run my new rca's

well got the tweeters installed in the door panels today. i was gonna run them in the a-pillars but the vc100's mounting tactics would have made that a little hard for me.

i think this will do fine though. here are some pics
