[QUOTE="griffee, post: 3215646, member: 569557"] Okay the wrap up. I have everything back in, and did the install in my required 4 days(except for the re-installation of the rear seats while tuning).I didn't take pics of the front door panels reinstalled because...well they look like stock door panels and a stock door.The tweets went in the stock location with stock covers so there isn't anything to see there either.The rear door panels back on show no signs of the 8's underneath.The rear seat now being reinstalled hide the amps almost completely.I will get some shots of that and add them later.The stock head unit with the LOC is..well a stock head unit. I am very happy with the way things turned out.No box under my rear seat.So the doggies jump in and out with ease instead of trying to make the leap to the seat or the "help me" look when they don't want to attempt it. No amps under my driver/passenger seats.So I don't lose all the storage for one, and for two when I am carrying passengers in the rear they have some place to put their feet and they are also not kicking my nice amps. No reason for a theif to break in to my ride because they are ogling my set up.Looks stock.Love it. Now for the best part. IT JAMS.The 8's would absolutely astonish you as it has other people I've sat in the truck.They pound for 8's.I've had 8's before as well as having 2 10's in a downfire box and they didn't come close to this setup.Tight,punchy, and can play pretty low. The powerline components are very detailed and crisp.The mids play pretty low themselves and help with imaging as it really seems to just tie everything together.I don't know how to explain it really but the sound seems to come from everywhere.The tweeters are directional from the standpoint of hearing them in front of you, but the sound from the tweeters doesn't sound seperated as in left and right..it just sounds like front.Hard to explain really. I listen to lots of different types of music...Toby Keith...Panic Channel..Talking Heads....Shinedown...Metallica...Snoop Dogg...Kid Rock...it just depends ont he mood I'm in, but they all sound great.My head unit is set flat and the only adjusting I really need to do between any of the CD's is the bass adjusting knob(remote volume from the amp) for the subs.Very rare do I need to go + or - on the bass/mid/treble settings.I feel this is a pretty good indicator of having a setup dialed in pretty good.You should be able to stick in different types of music with different recordings and not have to adjust yourself to death to get it to sound good again because you changed CD's. I really got to give a big thanks to Don at Unexpected Creations In New Jersey on the great gear.He helped in picking equipment to meet my expectations as well as putting up with lots of dumb questions.It was a pleasure doing business with him, and it's nice having the peace of mind that he will stand behind all his products and gear.A nice big plus from buying from an authorized dealer for the products on this install.Thanks again Don! Now I did this install over a year ago. It's still pounding, and still going strong.Trust me I play the heck out of it. It's either jamming or off for me...doesn't seem to be too much in between. A few final photos of the wrap up...awesome head unit eh? [/QUOTE]
