[QUOTE="adjetta, post: 8199558, member: 634094"] Okay so I was really deep into car audio from the time I got my first car at 17 up until about 1 year ago. I started working and found love and in the process lost all my free time and disposable income. Gladly I am back at it, although I still have very limited time and money lol...I am finally designing my next big system! So my last setup in my current car was ghetto as F###, nothing tucked, horrible voltage, and my wire was all fried...But hey it banged right? I promised my self that the next system I built would be proper, and that no expense would be spared. No more cutting corners, and no more junk. Look over what you see below and tell me what you would do to optimize this build. keep in mind this car is stock besides having a deck, amp, and speakers mounted no deadening or anything to enhance the sound, no mdf rings on the speakers, nothing........how would you build a box, what would you tune too, would you run two amps? Really just any advice you can think of really. I have plenty of ideas of my own, however I am just curious to see what the majority of people will recommend.
