My Moderate Stereo Build Regular Cab

So Ive been fairly happy with my old setup which was a Kenwood 897 HU with Kicker Coax Speakers in Doors and behind the seat. For the sub I had a Polk DXI 12 powered by a Kenwood 9103D in an Audio Enchancers box. This did ok but I wanted something clearer and punchier. So I ended up getting Hertz ESK 570 for the front Doors http://www.mobilesoundworks.com/prod...tz-esk-570.htm. Along with a JL 10W6 for the sub http://www.jlaudio.com/10w6v2-d4-car...-drivers-92120. I ended getting a really good deal on a Digital Pioneer D800 http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...eries/PRS-D800 for the Hertz up front. Lastly, I am keeping my 9103D for the JL Sub as it still works fine and has plenty of power. I also ended buying some GT MAT for the Doors and back wall. So here goes nothing, Ive got a few pics so far but Im not done as its hot as hell outside.

Welp I got it all back in and I am in the process of tuning I will post pics of the finished product when I get it tuned and such. But so far it sounds 50x better than what I had. That little Pioneer Amp is stout!

One more reason not to buy into the BS about brand names on the amps. I've used Pioneer/Kenwood, Alpine, Infinity, and MTX in my time. Could tell an audible difference in any of them, never had one quit or overheat/clip. Sure, if you're doing sound competitions and crap like that, go with whatever gets the best performance spec-wise. If you're powering any normal audio upgrade, use a reputable brand name (for quality/warranty purposes) and call it a day.
