btw - Changing from 6.5s to 6x9s is a DOWNGRADE not an upgrade. 6x9s sound like ass in general...

1. Alpine CDA-9856 HU
2. Hertz 6 1/2" components up front - hits pretty hard for separates
3. Alpine 4" coaxes in the rear doors
4. Hertz 12" sub in Hertz sub box
5. JL Audio 300/4 amp running the fronts and sub, HU running the coaxes
6. Optima 34/78 w/ bling Monster terminals
7. Sound deadened front doors
8. All Monster wires
Thinking about "The Big 3" mod once I can get some questions answered. Nothing too drastic but the system sounds real good for people inside the truck. Also, not too bad in price as everything above installed came out to less than $1600.

You guys have some really nice setups
Here's mine -- clean and simple:
Eclipse AVN2454
6.5" Focal Polykevlars/Vifa Tweeters/custom madisound crossovers
10" Illusion Audio sub
2 Zapco 350 Reference amps (1 for the Focals, 1 for the IA sub)
2 Zapco SLB balanced output convertors

I pretty much have the stock stereo in the 85', the tape player doesn't work anymore, and the rear speakers are blown. But I just put in some nice 4" infinities up front that I had laying around...

Those kicks are prefab by Q-form, I just reinforced them with some fiberglass and they're quite durable now. The imaging is perfect, but then again I have another set with the mid in the doors and the tweet in the sail. I may be overkill but I likes it...

Now if I could only replace the broken glass on the 440 for less than the the 250& mcintosh labs quoted me I'd be done. Actually I also purchased the koda comps used so the only new items are the eclipse and the brahma.
Stout, so you are running 2 mids and 2 tweets per side and it sounds ok? How is it set up? as a 4 way or 2 2-ways? I'd love to get some q-forms and stick my adire sf-7s in the doors as a 3-way I am just not sure how I'd handle the x-over duty and if the kicks would get in the way of my clutch.

Yes, two mids and two tweets. I have them running off only the front channels of my amp at 2 ohm stereo. I guess you can say that I'm running them as one 2 way setup. I've tested it with just the kicks, just the doors, and then both together. All setups sounded good, however, the midbass from the kicks was little lacking, and the imaging from just the doors was a little lacking... But both sets together is amazing. If you go three way you'd have to go active or build your own crossover which would be a pain. The kick on the driver side does come out pretty far and I can see it getting in the way of your clutch somewhat. I can post a pic of how it looks in mine if you want and you can decide if there will be enough room.
