Man I love your system! Wish I could hear it first hand.

Where all do you have sound deadening? Just the rear hatch door?
That is a mean set up. The vibration I get on my rear view mirror doesn't even compare to the earthquake you're producing!. Question is, how do you carry luggage around? I go fishing so often I wouldn't know where to put all my gear if I had a woofer/amp set up like that.
I bet that sounds great in person.
That looks loud.
ya the bottom tire well, the whole top hatch, along the rear behind the lights, and 2 sheets thick solid all along the rear underhatch portion, where most of the pressure is firing.
Man I love your system! Wish I could hear it first hand. this FAT MAt is good stuff and very inexpensive. do not buy dynomat unless you wanna pay $200!

I think its a little wimpy compared to my buddy which competed and took first place with [2] 15inch old school type-R's and similar amp in a custom box. My enclosure is a bit small, but it exactly to MFG spec. The size limits the loudness potential, unless I made a custom box, which im not going to do, yet. I might have "davetheboxguy" make something bigger that will fit in this boot without modifications. i am running stock alternator and battery, those things also limit my SPL. Other than that it sounds good for just riding around. very clean, gains set properly, minimal clipping. The most important thing is that the trunk does not buzz like a trash can rolling down the street, which helps when trying to dodge policia. lol

I'm too broke to travel. ha... no i use the back seat for everything, or my wifes JUKE when needed.

Man I wished you lived around DFW. There is this place I am going to buy my sub/box. hits super hard.

Anyways, nice rig man.

do you have any aftermarket interior speakers? and if so do you run them with the factory amp?

You know, i want a aftermarket alternator. But here is the thing. I don't want a aftermarket alt that only pumps juice at 2k rpm. to me, those are ok but I am not at 2k ALL the time. I tried calling this one company that makes high output at idle rpm but they said they won't touch our alt for whatever reason. I know a battery will help, but honestly I think the battery is only as good as the alt. so if your amp has a high capacity amp output but your alt is only pushing low amps, then your high amp output battery won't be putting out high amps because your alt isn't giving it high amps.

I noticed you said you clip. is it because of power or your amp?
I set it to NOT clip with a DMM @ proper voltage gain match, but i said minimal because ....even tuned correctly any system will clip depending on the quality and level of the songs played.. as long as it isn't constant there is no issues. I assume it clips with the limited power source i dont drop below 13.8 which is good.. but i can not verify that all the time.. i turned the bass boost to half to fill in the high end bass that the stock head unit cuts off. Normally i would not run bass boost but with the limitations of the head unit EQ, it is a must.

The components I run are Alpine 610-C's all around with stock center speaker. <---- i can say these do the job very well for the price. I was not an Alpine fanboy, but the speakers are good for the price.

Yes factory amp. no need for aftermarket upgrade with these passive components.

If anyone is looking for a good amp I got one for sale on Amazon.com for $119 used. Works like new, just one little hairline crack in one of the mounting tabs which can be easily fixed with superglue. It is tough to sell things used online, but if your looking for a deal let me know this thing is powerful.

Really? are you talking about the Alpine SPS-610C? those at 4 ohms are rated for 80wrms. I was going to those along with the Alpine SPS-610 (same ratings) JL Audio XD400/4 which at 4 ohms gives max 75 wrms. I figure those would be a great match for interior setup.

I love alpine interior speakers. they are very crisp and sound very fine. especially for the price. I might go with their type r speakers. Not sure

honestly I never got what clip meant. I need to figure exactly what that means. when you say limited power source, do you mean voltage power like from your alt/batt? or do you mean from your amp?

Damn that is a great price.

But with my setup, I will need 800wrms @4ohms :D the only thing Hifonics has that matches that is their GLX2200.1D. which honestly isn't bad at all. I can run one 15" with one GLX2200.1D, OR TWO with the same amp. or three with the same amp. but only one 15" will fit in the VT :D wifey will only let me get one anyways even if I could fit more than one.

Clipping = in simple terms is heat generated on woofer coils due to a over driven audio signal where the peaks flatten making the speaker imitate a jackhammer rather than a smooth curve, mine usually are lukewarm all day .but some songs can make them hot to the touch, never to damaging levels though.

That is what this one audio expert told me. He explained in a signal wave.

I saw you listening to project pat. Three six and all them have some awesome bass. I can see why you are clipping and cooking your coils lol they are nutritious for doing that lol
it helps to only play 320 quality music too. much cleaner and precise.

Damn that Shit is tight! Do one of your roof excursion with that track I sent you :D

BTW you should find a way to straighten out your wire. It gives it better flow rather than having all those twist. It isn't good for the flow. kind of like exhaust and intake pipe.
