Rep Power: 317

I haven't seen much activity in this forum in a while. Seems like a lot of simple "which sub is better" and "how do I do that". Nothing wrong with it, people need help, but this forum is dying.
I thought it would be nice if we posted up our updated systems, and discussed them, keeping an ongoing thread. It may also be a good way of seeing what others run, so if you see that somebody has the sub you thinking about getting, you can ask that person questions about it and discuss (prefer that you discuss in this thread).
Sound good? I'll start.

Currently
Clarion DRZ9255 Headunit
Clarion Calypso Sirius reciever (molded where the cig lighter is)
Diamond Audio D971 7" Components in custom kick panels
Diamond Audio 12" TDX in a 1.5 cubic foot sealed enclosure
JL Audio 450/4 in Chrome (Bi amping the components)
JL Audio 1000/1 in Chrome (murdering the TDX )
JL Audio RCA Interconnects
Hooker Audio Power/Ground/Speaker wire/D-Block/Fuse holder
Optima Yellow Top
Wraingler 180amp High Output Alternator
Code Alarm 7600 Alarm/Remote start

I am planning on buying a component set, Focal TBe Berrylium Tweeter and Focal K2P Midbass/Woofer. I want to give it a try since I am getting tired of kicks and those Diamond D9's are huge and won't fit in the factory location without modifying the door panels, which I don't think I want to do.

So come on guys, lets see what you got.

sweet, you won a dog at competition?... that's badass...

i'm assuming there's a suspension drop between the 'before' and 'after' pics... looks good... and i see the "hey, i've got stuff to steal" stickers are off... probably a good choice there as well, you have a very nice setup and that would suck much ***** if it got jacked...

I'm not too concerned about getting ripped off really, I park inside every night and I work in an environment that is patrolled by people carrying large automatic weapons so it's quite safe there too I am glad I have the steal-mes off there though, I just wanted them on during the season for some shows.

And yeah, won a dog. I use her as a winter beater so I can garage my Civic and then ride her to work
