Thumbs up Finally done with my sound system install!! PIX INSIDE

As some of you guys may know, I have been installing a system in my truck.
Here are the final results of my hard work..

This is what my system consist of:
Avic D3
Kicker ZX1000.1 & ZX650.4
2 Kicker L7 10's
2 sets of Pioneer TS-C720PRS F+B

The install look very clean and much nicer than in these pix, it was dark out so I had to use a flash.

It was alot of hard work & lots of hours, but im very pleased with the results.

I like how you flushed in the amps and mounted the voltage gauge.

Hows everything sounding?

Hey thanks Low The capacitors LED's were very bright and as you can see in the pix I put a dark tint over them. This is temporary till I nite shade the plastic cover for a better look. I sunk it into the box cuz it was pretty big
and chrome which I did not like much.

I still have not dialed the system in 100%, but it does sound very crisp & clean and can take alot of power. Im very pleased with the sound
Im getting a rattle in the headliner and map lights
that I still need to get taken care of.

Here is a day pic I just took.

Thanks guys, yes I did the install myself. The box was made by a buddy and me. The box is to spec for a sealed box and is in 2 separate chambers.
I have not had a chance to fully crank it since im still breaking in the woofers.
But from what I have, everything sounds clean and balanced.

Pat, that is a capacitor your seeing.

I have had my good eye on those same Pioneer components for a few days now. Apparently you are pleased with them. I think they are rated at 50W RMS? How much power does that amp send to them? I am thinking of putting them up front only and getting an amp with 65W per channel to push them. I am pretty new to all this though. Is 65W too much, would 40-50 be plenty?

I would say you would need at least a 100W per to get them to sound good, im sending a 170W to each one.

Thanks, yes it does sound good, I still need to tune it till it sounds perfect. Im going to give it a couple of weeks to break in before I start to fine tune.
