I will do my best to keep these pics up-to-date, as I am usually changing something all the time.

Clarion DXZ925. This thing kicks ass, it has just about everything you need built-in, from a dual 3-Band parametric EQ, to Dolby Prologic II decoding. Very sweet. If you thought your bass couldn't get any tighter, listen to one of these.

I hated it, so I did this... Sweet850's 1994 Volvo 850 South Portland, ME Customized with JL Audio Speakers, JL Audio Amplifier, Clarion Head Unit, JL Audio Tweeters, JL Audio Subwoofers, Monster Cable Wiring, K&N Intake, Bosch Engine Electronics, Blaupunkt Video - 36

Also decided to use my deck to it's full potential, so I figured I'd add a center channel (a JL XR400-CX). Easier said than done, though it wasn't too bad.

Had to pull off the dash and do some "custom" cutting. Filled in the groves in the ducts with aluminum tape and to cover that, some electrical tape.

Finally, this is the nastiness behind the amp rack, along with the Clarion amp for the center channel (silver, right of center), my DC/AC power inverter (red, right) and my $100 subwoofer speaker cable (black w/ green stripes, center) Sweet850's 1994 Volvo 850 South Portland, ME Customized with JL Audio Speakers, JL Audio Amplifier, Clarion Head Unit, JL Audio Tweeters, JL Audio Subwoofers, Monster Cable Wiring, K&N Intake, Bosch Engine Electronics, Blaupunkt Video - 43

Behind the heatsink fins on the amps are 9" red neon lights, as well as a red 10" in front of the W7 mounted on the floor of the trunk to illuminate the cone and another 10" red neon mounted on the trunk lid to illuminate the mirror-like black painted plexiglass logos.

Sega Dreamcast. Much better use of the ski pass-through as far as I'm concerned.
