My 6.5’s and 8’s have several hundred hours of play time on them at this point, I am extremely happy with them. Several rain storms, a whole hell of a lot of ffdp and bad wolves, and they’ve not hiccup’d.

I wish I could get my install to look that clean. Mine looks like a wire genie threw up in it.

You've given me a few ideas. Like how you kept everything inside the brackets and used the space above the amp.

I'm a huge advocate of posting install pics. It's amazing the ideas I've borrowed or improved upon just by seeing how someone else handled something.

Back when Steve Meade first started posting install pictures of his Honda I was amazed at what a DIY guy could do in an average garage. He has made an empire out of those humble beginnings, it's really amazing.

When you guys heard it in ES I was only feeding them 200 each. Wednesday it’s going back in with 4 8’s back there and a 1600.1 mono 1 ohm amp. I’ll then feed them whatever they’ll take and see how it sounds.
