[QUOTE="Squirreljester, post: 8397571, member: 666370"] I've been doing my own installs since the 90's, so yeah I'll be doing everything myself. I enjoy running wires and doing stealth installs. I was apprehensive about doing a molded fiberglass box but I found a guy selling one so it worked out. I've done one system with just the fronts, and it wasn't bad, it just means I need to get some more powerful comps for the front. As for the sub stage, I really want to feel it, but I don't want to drown out the music either. I usually try and to 10 times the power for the sub, hence why I have a 500 watt monoblock right now matched with the 50 watts per channel from the PPI. I listen to everything from rap to country to rock/metal, edm, and classical/jazz, so whatever sub setup I get I'd like an external gain control I can mount up front to make adjustments based on what I'm listening to. I was looking at the Sundown SA series sub with a Sundown SCV-1500D amp, but I'm not sure since I can't find any specs on any of their amps on their site, which is really annoying. I was thinking Polk audio, Focal, or Hertz for the fronts, and I'm not sure what amp I should match with it. I had looked at the Soundstream Picaso P2.400 when I was looking at Soundstream for my amps and sub, but I don't know if that's the best option based on reviews I've read. I've also read that Cadence is up there with Focals and Hertz too. [/QUOTE]
