New Thump In The Trunk...

i am finally replacing my system....
here's the specs:
pioneer premier 640 HU (installed tonight)
V-Tech Single Sub Box (being installed tomorrow)
V-Tech RIP Hammer 10" (tomorrow)
JL Audio 500 D-Class Amp (being installed tomorrow)
lightning audio 4 ga. wire (power and ground)
lightning audio patch cables
lightning audio 12 ga. speaker wire
should i get a 1 farad digital top cap as well?

will be customing in an equalizer into the dash under the hu once i decide to re-amp the surrounds

i already got a fosgate component system installed up front, and alpine type-r's in the rear

but what you all think of the sub and amp choice? the guy at the store guarantees i'll hit at least 135-140 db..

actually v-tech subs have been out a while, but they arent that popular in the spl comps or anything, anyway, they are really impressive, at least to me... a friend of mine had 6 v-t orignial hammers in his lowrider pu, and was putting out around 170-180 dB if i remember correctly... here is a link to their site too ...

Mike Jones from Lubbock, Texas holds the record. He has 9 Digital Design 15" subs, and 9 Crossfire amps. Digital Designs Custom Sound Works
He kicks out around 175 dB FYI
