So i got my new system in after 40 hours of laboring. The end product is simply amazing and ive only played it for about an hour. The kicks are really sounding better by the song and i cannot believe how hard they hit. I followed install instructions by keep_hope_alive so the credit of the SQ goes to him.

Here are some pics, more to come!

Alpine CDE-HD149BT

Rainbow SLC 265 Kicks

Alpine PDX-5(105x4rms, 384rmsx1)

Rainbow Profi 10" (yet to be installed)

 
ANd it continues to amaze... Rainbow reccommends 10 hours of break in time to assess quality, im about 2 hours in and it seems like they get better by the song. Constantly being surprised, cant wait to incorporate the Profi.

Glad you're liking your sytem!

Where did you mount the tweeters? and any chance we could get a quick video of it playing that'd be awesome

I will get a video shortly in the next few days hopefully. Tweets are mounted in the stock dash location up by the windshield and couldnt be happier, although i keep finding myself going back and forth on the +0 and +3 db inputs... These kicks are making the wait for the sub very easy. The kicks really do sound like a kick drum its crazy. Ive had Infinity Kappas, PG RSDs, MB quarts, Alpine and a few other brand of speakers and honestly and rightfully so nothing even comes close, and i havent even bridged them yet so they are only seeing 100 rms
