Geeves is hollow at the moment.....BUT, here's what i had:

4 - 5.5" door speakers (who doesn't?)
2 - 6"x9" pioneer two ways
1 - 6"x8" pioneer three way center channel
2 - 10" MTX woofers
1 - 12" sony something or other woofer
custom box for all three
1300 watt alpine amp for the 10's
2 - 240 watt california amps, one for the 6x9's and one for the 12
capasitor (i forget the output on it)
Pyramid 10 band EQ
DEH 8600 pioneer head unit.

It was quite a frankenstein system...i had the 1300 amp and 10's on the sub woofer output while the 240 amp and 12" was on the rear channel RCA output. The other 240 watt and 6x9's were connected to the rear channel and all four 5.5"ers were on the front channel. The 6x8 center was a combination of the front right and left via a crossover i ganked from a friend of mine.....it blew out a month later so i guess it didn't really work.

I know that was right after the install but was cleaned up.

Then stuff started going wrong so the Tear down began. Installed a crossover as well and waiting to buy new Amps. and redo everything all over again.

Ok here's what I got in my s80t6


-Mb quart Q's front component speakers (giving 150 watts to each speaker in the front, and the stock speakers in the back are getting 75 watts)
-JL 450/4 Amp for the speakers
-JL 1000/1 monoblock Amp for the sub
-JL 13w7 in a ported box
-JL Audio Cleansweep-takes factory deck signal and Cleans it up to make everything sound Louder and clearer , this allows me to keep a stock look.
-Alumnapro 5 fara C.A.P(carbon alloy power), has a distribution block and relay to hook it up.
-monster cables used (4 gauge for amps)

I've had a little experience with these and in my oppinion Cleansweeps and head units are a horse apiece. Just depends on your appearance preference. They sound damn near identical to me with the exception of sub woofer out put. The best way to get a perfect sub sound is with an expensive head unit with a designated sub out (usually colored black instead of the typical white and red). But, the rear channel method is still affective and with the right EQ can sound just as good.
