Default I Love My System

I know people usually post here to ask questions about audio equipment or setup. I wanted to post to say thank you to all of you who has helped me with me setup. Bert, Haze, Sly, Gannicus, and many others. If I did not mention you please don't get offended.

I presently have a modest system but I love it. it is everything I need. I can hear my music at over 70 mph with clarity. That was the most important part for me. i do enjoy the bass though...lol

I have a 16 SGS. stock radio flashed by dealer (Rockford flash setup). Two JL amps 400/4 and 280/4 both bridged. Focal 6.5 in the front stage. Pioneer pros 6900 in hogtune lids for the rear. Not sure about the pros but they can be changed if necessary.

As someone told me awhile ago, it is not just about the equipment. It's also about the setup. i took the time to make sure all of the wiring was the best. The speakers were fitted properly and sound deadening material was placed everywhere..lol

I didn't need 12 speakers and 6 amps to have a great system....lol. I know some of this can seam overwhelming, but don't let it. I do have an electronic background, but you really don't need it if you listen to the experts here. They truly know what they are doing, and are here to help you not hurt you. They have nothing to gain in giving you wrong information.

Again, thanks to all for your help. And Happy Holidays to all.

I had the JL amps in my previous car that I installed. They are phenomenal.

I'd love to check that system out. Who did the install work ?

The JL amps (if I may answer) she is running in two channel mode. So there's one amp for the rears and one amp for the fronts... that's what it sounds like to me. I had them running this way also in my Camaro.
