Well I've been spending the entire weekend working on this sound system. All seats and carpet are out of the car and I am wiring it from the ground up! Spent on excess of $300 on wiring so far as I am going for maximum decibels... Swapping my 10" Orions for my 12" Pioneer 2000W RMS comp series subwoofers, with a set of Kicker 6X9s in the back, with my 280W Clarion splits in the front! Will see how I go but I plan on having tweeters in the roof lining as well...

Having a few mates over while I do it in case I lose my sh*t and give up :lol:


Pics up IF i do it!!

This mean you might have a set of 10" up for sale? Thinking about going that route with an inverted box instead of my 12" kicker - going for more clarity over hard DB's these days...

Correct, I will have a set of two Orion 10" subs up for grabs, absolutely brilliant subs, and with a custom made ported box. :)
