This is a copy and paste of my post in the regal website so if you notice some buick or noobish mentionings you could just ignore those lol

Unfortunetly I wasnt able to do the full writeup with pics but i'll be redoing the the front speakers soon so I'll at least have that one. If anybody has ANY questions about anything related to the "concert II) system let me know because i honestly think i could answer 99% of em lol Anyways theres about 60cu ft of dynamat in the trunk and when I get some more cash and time I'll actually be dynamatting the whole interior not only for sound quality but ive completely dynamatted a couple cars and the road/wind noise can be all but eliminated.

YES i know it will slow the car down blah blah blah but I'm just as into a cars stereo as I am their performance. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Heres the breakdown:

-Alpine CDA-7873 (soon to be replaced with iva-d100 touchscreen)

-Phoenix Gold RSD 65cs comps (dirt cheap but research leads me to believe they can hold their own against higher end/priced comps)

-Infinity Ref Series 3 way 6x9s (good enough for now)

-AQ HD312 dual 2 ohm sub in a 2.5 box tuned to 40hz

-Xtant 1001x mono amp (1600rms at 1 ohm)

-JBL GTO 75.4 amp (100x4rms but will most likely run it 200x2 for the comps and run the 6x9w off the deck.

-Kicker 0 gauge and 4 gauge amp kits

-JL "premium" RCAs

-60sqft of Dynamat Extreme in the trunk (still need 20ft for the trunk floor)

Previous sub was a memphis mojo 12 but i want more sql (sound quality level) over all out spl (sound pressure level) so i tried out the aq and couldnt be happier.

Thats all for now and in the next coming weeks ill be doing the front speakers and alot more dynamat. The tag has 4 layers on it, where it screws to the trunk has 2 layers on it and about 12 screws and it still flexes like crazy. I removed the center tailight and did 2 layers on top and another layer on every possible inch of the trunk and the side of the trunk. It might seem like a little overboard but when i get a better camera IIll post some flex videos so you can see what im talking about. I work at the install bay at tweeter and one of my walls is shared with pier one and while showing off the system to a coworker somebody from piers ran over and said i knocked over a couple plates and shook everything else lol Certain songs are unbearably loud but i usually listen with the sub on 2 out of 15. I rambled on but let me know what you think.

How can i stop my license plate rattle?? Its effin annoying!!!

 
I had a Regal GSE once upon a time //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Ran a 13.8x@101.2 with just a homemade FWI, 3.4" ZZP, ubend delete and DHP //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Ahhh, the good ol' L67 days... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
Forgot to give it a review lol

The hdc3 sounds great on 90% of songs but on certain songs like white girl by jeezy it sounds like its bottoming out or something. I think I might of messed up a little with the tuning so a new box is getting built into the car once i finish dynamatting and doing a nicer amp rack. Right now im only running off one 6x9 because im waiting on the rsds and the old comps were blown and i blew one of the 6x9s. All tuning was done by ear so theres definlty room for improvement but **** this thing blows my mojo away. Mojo seemed more like a one hit wonder because it sounded good only on a few certain sounds and couldnt keep up with fast basslines like the aq. Thug motivation 101 must be the hardest hitting rap song i ever heard and the interior flex is so crazy it broke rattled apart my cupholder and popped my rear deck panels out. I love it and Its only gonna get better. Next step is rsds, bat, proper tuning then the flip out.

 
Yup good ol supercharged 98 regal gs lol I already have 4 layers of dynamat on the plate its self, 2 layers on where it mounts to the trunk and 2 layers on the main part it mounts on. I was gonna do the dynamat plate but i dont like any advertising or brand names on the outside of my car. I'm picking up some rims tmrw for it and tossing in the HIDS so ill post a couple pics.

"i got better sound" in bright yellow would look tacky on a blacked out regal lol

 
i built the box to djs specs but i really rushed it and being my first ported box build im pretty sure i didnt build good enough to get the tuning i was supposed to. Bottom out on really low basslines...would that mean i tuned to high or low???

 
defintly covering it up with some thin padding and black box carpet once i figure out what my final setup is going to be. Alot of the time i park in suspect areas and i dont need shiny chrome getting attention saying "rob me"
