TRU Technology C7. That�s the big daddy that retails for $2750 with all the upgrades. I run 2 of these.

Here are all of the amps when I just got them. TRU Technology T03 are also upgraded with BurrBrown chips. I will say this. whoever says all amps are the same either can't afford any or simply hating.
Pioneer DEX / DEQ P9. I have problems with these pieces. Although I would not call Pioneer engineers retards, this unit is quite a POS. Main problem with it is the crossover points that are preset and pretty limited. I wish I had Alpine F1.
ScanSpeak Revelator. This tweet is second to none. I fell in love with it from the moment I have listened to it. As far as precision goes, I would only put Dynaudio Ezotars on the same level. The only complain is that it sounds a little too pretty so I have to EQ it a bit to get it to sound like real highs in real life.
TRU Technology F1 Crossover. Some seriously nice components inside as well as a cleanest board layout I have ever seen. I actually use it to bypass one of the crossover points on the P9.
Clarion APX1001.2 These amps have almost the same internals as ARC Audio 2500 CXL. When this line was discontinued you could get them at $250 a piece. I sold my ARCs, grabbed 3 Clarions and successfully used them to win a few shows. We even tested them for output in reactive load and that was the only amp in the lineup (ADS, Marc Antony, US Acoustics, PlanetAudio) to meet it's specs. Without doubt best bang for the buck.
Also an ARC 4150 that is going to my beater or my GF's car.
Peerless HDS (right) was the best midbass I have ever used in terms of raw output. The cool thing about this speaker is that it has a BL (motor strength) of 8.0; comparing to other speakers of the same 6.0-6.5. This causes this speaker to be very punchy and controlled. Works well in IB.
ScanSpeak Revelator (left) will totally kick your ass in a right sealed enclosure. Not only it has an amazing midrange but it also can act as one of the most powerful midbasses in the right enclosure. Just make sure you do not run it in IB since it lacks punch and sounds like a mini sub rather then midbass.
Rainbow Pro midbasses (left) really have the lowend and punch. They sound very good, however, they are easily distorted. They are also designed with IB in mind but they simply can not get as loud as most other midbasses out there. MBQUART Q are just one of my old busted midranges. Still sounds pretty good.
Illusion Audio ND8 works amazing in the sealed applications. It has all the punch you can wish for and it would be as fast as any 6.5 speaker. There is a ND8i version of this woofer that is very hard to find. That one is designed with IB in mind.
A little friendly competition from Zapco. I'll keep my TRU's thx ;)
Just one of the speaker shipments.
ARC4150 and 2 Clarions APX100.2
This setup was really good but I don't miss it much.
One day I was all into ARC. I still think they are up there with the best of them. They are all that, no hype.
Same install, ARC capasitors. I hear Brax makes them but what do I know? :)
Nakamichi MB75. They are awesome units but I try to stay away due to mechanical problems.
Linear actuator and limiting switches...that is what I have instead of my fotbrake. I removed it in favour of better kickpanel fitment.
Did your X-Box look like that at some point in time?
RJ (left) and Jorge (right). W7 is in the middle. It would be more interesting if W7 was not making weird sounds. Turned out to be a deffective one but since it was under warrantee, it got exchanged for a new one. Buy from official retailers.
