Hey guys, I'm the lucky owner! I've gotta say, we only had 1 major setback, my 10w6 wouldn't fit given 1 of my major requirements of having full use of the trunk. I haven't had much time to listen to the system yet, but my initial impression is extremely high...and I'd have to say we met all goals for sound quality and appearance given my budget. 16psi can provide more technical details, but basically sound is full, smooth and balanced with no overpowering bass/treble/mid. Overall, extremely pleased....all expectations were exceeded!

So, including equipment I would say likely more than Mark Levinson option, but can't compare the 2 really since I haven't heard that system. Can you give some comparison on the 2 systems since you've heard both?

WOW! What an impressive install you've done. That has to be one of the cleanest non-stock installs I've seen.

Thumbs up

Bing,

Wow, nice install!! It looks better than my 2IS! I'm glad I could be of some help with the project. I really like the way you used none of the actual floor space up. Are those amps the Alpine MRV-F345 and MRD-M605? I have a F545 and a M1005 in my system.

Finally !!! An install that meets my standards !!


J/K.....I'm just a huge fan of an audiophile SQ setup that leaves a functional trunk. This install reminds me of my favorite shop:
