RF P3 here. Not top of the line but sounds great and really hits hard.

Interesting setup. Is it a free air? Or a ported? What does the rest of the box look like?

That looks amazing. I am torn right now. I want to get an old school Cerwin Vega stroker and put it back there. But it will be so loud and rattle the really bad.

Are those JL Audio W7's ?

Haha thanks bro, I wish they are W6's 12's but they hit insane. As long as the box is built right u will be turning heads lol. Dynamat for the rattle though takes a bit of time but well worth the extra work.

are you fellas installing these yourself?
I have a JL W6 sitting in my garage collecting dust.
Thinking about getting a new amp and taking it somewhere to get installed but for whatever reason i am paranoid about taking it to a shop

I will have the ML system already, so I am going to have to play around with different upgrades and see what I like best. I have always had aftermarket systems, and play my music loud.

The 12" FI "Q" sub I have now is in a sealed box and I am reading that I will be very surprised how much better it will sound in a ported box. Next thing will be upgrading the component speakers. Probably do Rainbow Germaniums again, or Hertz. We will see.
