Just finished installing the system... and i must say, even though it was a cheap brand name, it definitely does that job! WOW! I didn't want much and this is more then what i need, shakes the truck apart!

Sound quality is excellent, but it needs tweaking, i basically cranked up everything. It is below zero here and did the whole install outside while it was snowing.. so when i was done.. i just turned it up took it for a spin and parked it. I'll probably tweak it sometime this week. I can't believe the bass for the money though. Fit perfect. Crappy part is i was expecting to screw the amp underneath the seat, but there isn't a solid piece of wood... I imagine i will install it behind the backseat backrest when the weather is good..

And yes the box is sealed.

Just ordered a system..-box-1.jpg
Just ordered a system..-box-2.jpg

The 18' of power wire that i got in the stinger package was a bit too short.. so i couldn't bring it back farther, so it's exposed a bit. There is a bit of cleaning up to do with the cords yet to do, but i'm not sure yet if i want to keep the amp there. As you can see though,the enclosure bolts right into position.

Yes, i know the truck needs a good cleaning but it's in the negatives here.

looks good man, you should lengthen that cable and run it under the carpet there though.
