I like it. Honest opinion is I would probably match speaker wire and rca cables if they are showing or flip them around and show the power/ground/remote wires.

I do like the floating rack though that shows it off while also keeping it out of the way. Very nice touch on that.

The power and ground have yet to be run to these amps... but all connections share the same side of the amps. I may go back to Knu RCA cables to match the speaker wires on the left amp.

Grabbed 20ft of 4awg power wire so I can hook these other two amps up. Gonna use 4awg ferrules to plug them into the amps. I know, CCA cable. This is for the short runs at the amps from the fuses.

I ordered a bass knob from RF for my 1200-1 like a week ago. Today I got a notification that it shipped today... from Arizona.... I got home from the store and it was on my porch... here in Kentucky.

Nothing wrong with the old bass knob except the phone cable doesn't snap into the amp securely because the little tab broke. The new knob doesn't have an LED but is much cheaper quality. I may keep using the old knob with the new cable and save the new knob as a backup.

I actually like their subs, I just question if their box sizes are correct or if they state such small boxes for marketing. I had the Tropo XL 12 and put it in my 1.5@32hz box. Didn’t play with it for long bit I wasn’t pleased. I’m sure it prob needs more like 2 cubes. That’s why I put a new baffle on the front and installed the AB xfl 10

We may see a pair of Tropo XL 10's on a Taramps Smart 3 in the future. I would swap them into this current box which is over 1.4cu ft per sub.

Finally got to the back dash. I removed the busted and unused 6x9's and put some materials on the back dash and under some panels behind the seat backs and the pass through hole. Twas a fun lil adventure but I am now more familiar with my car. I didn't take pics of ALL the progress but you get the idea. There is more deadened than what is done in the last pic. I will also do the underside of the trunk lid too.

So far so good. Bass "sound" is improved and there is a lot less vibration from the rear panels.

I was gonna mount my 3's and tweets but man I wasn't expecting it to go from cold and rainy to oppressively hot and humid. It already "feels like" 94° and the humidity is 64%.

Man, I was driving home listening to Six Feet Under "Warpath" album and the double kick drum sounded horrible. The rear of the car was all vibrating and sounding crappy. Halfway home into my 30 min drive I pulled over to get some Starbucks from the gas station and see if I could find the rattle. I did. It was the speaker connection for the right rear dash speaker and it was floppin and bouncing on the spring bars for the trunk lid. So I secured it temporarily out of the way which got rid of the rattle. Man it was loud and crappy. I am still gonna have to sound deaden more stuff UNDER the back dash.
