Finally got everything installed

Thanks to too much work and limited time in a bay I've pretty much finished installing all my new equipment. Only thing left to do is put the top piece on my amp rack and put the plexi glass in place on the rack. Only thing I messed up was get the + and - backwards on one of the caps. I blew 2 60 amp fuses before I realized my screw up. Once I get the rats nest of wires cleaned up in the trunk and the amp rack completely finished I'll post pics. I hope to get it totally done by the end of the weekend.

It all sounds great. Just in case you were wondering what I installed, here's the list
-Kenwood x859 deck
-MTX 4244 amp
-MTX 6500D amp
-Infinity 605cs
-Infinity reference 6x9s
- 2 Infinity Perfect 12.1 subs in a 3.5cu ft ported box built by me
- Amp rack with 2 fans for cooling and a red neon tube

My deck goes to 35 on the volume but I can't put it much past 25 without it feeling like my ears will start bleeding, so I'm pretty pleased with the result. I got quotes from $700-$1500 for what I wanted to do to my trunk but doing it myself only cost about $125 canadian. I can't wait to get pics up

I want to put a small neon in my amp rack/sub box to accent. how did you connect the power? can you just tap into the amp's power line? i'll wait for pics if you're gonna post 'em. thanks

Sweet setup. I just installed the Infinity 605cs and Reference 6x9's, and I must say they are a good deal for the money! I spent 127 USD on the 605cs Reference, and 90 USD on 6953i 6x9s (3way). Very impressed.

I have the power for 2 fans, neon tube, and the the 2 remote wires for the amp coming off a relay. The relay is gets it power from tapping into the power for the 4 channel amp.

I'm not going to have the wires and everything completely cleaned up till probably the end of next week(we just got some pretty damn cold weather up here), but I'll get a few pics of the wiring up hopefully by the end of the weekend
