Just installed the whole system

Well today my package finally came, seemed like it took forever. I ordered everything of Sonicelectronix, and i am very pleased with the packageing and so on, but any who. I oreded one Rockford Fosgate R1 Prime ( 10 inch ), there box that fits underneth the seat, and an amp which eventually came up as back orded so i got the Jensen 760. Starting with the subwoofer, looks good cone is for the most part flat, fairly shallow subwoofer. (150 RMS, 300 Max) Next the box, small space so i added polyfil, and if i did my math right should make it equal to around .52 QFT. The Amp is very nice, matches the box well, i bridged it so it would be 190 Watts to the sub, i like the amp sound quality is top notch, clean sound but it gets hot quick, maybe a fan in the future. Over all the system sounds great, could not be happier. I now some others may rag on me for getting RF and not going with sundown or any other great brand, but i would recommend this to anybody on a tight budget, limited space, and does not want to blow there doors off.

I think when the boxes come off back order i may order another R1 and box, it just sounds so good. That would make it 240$ with shipping for two under the seat boxes, two RF R1's and an amp, which will push 380 watts. Again its not going to win compititons but it is going to sound good. My best friend has a MTX Terminator with two 12's on a Kicker ZX.300 amp, we both think my one sub is louder. The only thing i would fix is better low's, but hey its a ten what can you expect.

Not trying to be a downer but you have got to do something about those wires FAST!!! Some of the strands off of the ground wire are dangerously close to the turn on lead. If you are not going to crimp ends on each one you might want you twist the ends with your fingers to stop some of the strands from going astray.

Oh, yeah no problem your not a downer. Thats right when i hooked it up, it is now much cleaner all the wires and all, no stray strands or anything. My brother said this system is **** when he ran 10 gauge USA audio power wire, speaker wire for a ground, USA audio remote line and for the speakers he had all Infinity's lowest line, and a JBL amp that said 1000 watt JBL Amp, which probably pushed 75 watts a channal @ 2 ohm's. He said i had my speaker wire wrong and both wires should be on channel one, i laughed. He said RF was crap and he could get me " JBL Type R's " for 50$. Then he said why did i not go Alpine, i said i had only a 5 inch deep box, he said you could fit an Alpine Type R in there. I smell jealousy. Im enjoing every second of my system.
