I had that amp for 5ish years. I liked it.....nice clean power in a really small box. It blew a channel out in about year 6 or so and I replaced it with an Arc Audio 1100/5. That is what I will be putting in my 21.....when it gets here.

I have the same amp with a 10in sub, waiting on focals to be delivered. Which focals did you install? Went with RCX-690 for the front and RCX-165 for rear.

It's the back of the B&O sub, seems like a terrible design, guess it allows the little thing to move easily.

My only gripe is the terminals are facing the door, its not a huge issue a small piece of black tape can't fix.

Is that a 12" L7T? Looking to go this route as it has been years since I've had an L7, always loved the response of those subs. Great fit on those new enclosures.

Beautiful install. Just wondering if that is the MTI enclosure and mounting rack? If yes, does the sub touch the seat when the seat is up? Is that a 10" sub? Thanks.

What's the details for your sub setup (box and sub). I like the idea of having it away behind the seat

MTI Acounstics

Check out MTI Acoustics. It looks like everything came from them, including the amp mounting plate.

My guess would be MTI. They have a couple/few different options if you are looking at different boxes.
I have this one with two Audison 10"
