I am.Boston splits up front,Alpine DDdrives in rear and just a Kenwood 10" sub.Fronts and rears powered by Alpine 4 ch.200WRMS(4x50WRMS/channel)Sub by Kenwood 2ch.bridged amp 120RMS.Dynamatted ft.doors..Just make sure you use a sealed not ported enclosure for the sub.This keeps the bass nice and"tight"not droney.

1K just for labour.I supplied the amps and speakers.Got it done 3+ years ago.sorry no pics,nothing to see.The guys that did the install did it so from the inside of the car you can't see anything.Inside it looks stock.Amps are mounted under the rear parcel shelf and covered in same material as the boot lining.Sub is the only thing you can see.

Got any pics of the amp positions? I want to get the Alpine MRP-F300 but not too sure where to mount it.

on the underside of the rear parcel shelf in the boot. put some carpet over it no one will ever know.

That's where i've got mine.They made a shelf and covered it in same material as boot lining so now it looks like it's part of the boot.:thumbsup:

Focal 165VR, dont waste your time with anything else, these are the best sound quality
6.5" component speaker set for $529 (best under $550).

Dont waste your money on too much sound deadening, in the hot sun it gets sticky and starts to smell like ashphalt in your car..

I've never been a fan of 6x9's. If you want to run a sub, you don't need the extra (poor) bass.

I'd stick to 6" coaxials in the rear for a better sound.
