Did you end up selling your Memphis amp? What gear you running in this install? I see the amp and batts but is that the only amp? Subs?

yea i sold it. i came down a bit more then i wanted to for it tho. but i had something that i had to pay. so you know how that goes. but i got the amp in the pic for a steal. like right after i sold my amp my friend texted me and said he found a crescendo bc3500 for a steal. he talked the guy down some more so i got it because my friend didnt need it

**** dude! Good for you. I'd love to bump into a killer deal for a crescendo amp. I liked the Memphis you had to though. I hate it when you have something nice and all the sudden you have to sell it for something unexpected... What subs you running??

Looks good, man. Just finished up drilling the amps into the rear seats. First few taps were hard as hell because apparently VW put a metal plate in their rear seats. Frustrating to say the least. All I have to do next time I revisit the build is secure down the power and ground distros. Of course, my dumb ass forgot to put a memory card in the camera, so I didn't take pics. Oh well, I'll do a walkaround some time this week.

Rough, man. There's copper shavings everywhere since trimming my power wire got messy (I was racing the sunset lol). I figure it'll take a year or two for all of that to finish vacuuming up. Once I verify the internal wiring of my sub enclosure, I'll put that back in, but it's safe to say the Kenwood in my sig is CRAZY underrated. Like 150W@4ohms at 1/8 gain overrated.

Oh no doubt. There's quite a few replacements I can think of that would perform pretty well on HU power and keep up with your sub stage. Look at some Pioneer TS-D or JBL GTO series comps. They're both pretty darn good on the sensitivity end, believe it or not.
