Okay...I have some pics of the new install about 80% complete.
Here are the new kick panels. I used Seas L15 midwoofs, Peerless 6.5 auto woofs in the doors, and Seas Lotus reference tweets. Nice stuff!!!

I have installed 3 DPS-200 amplifiers in this amp rack to power the front section. I used Audio Magic Presto II interconnects. These are pure silver and they sound great.

Another rack just behind the one above. This unit houses the two PRA-H400 digital processors. Heavy guage wiring and distrobution blocks are hidden below this rack out of sight.

Here is the new HU, Alpine CDA-7949. This feeds a DEQ-30 and the PRA-H400's via toslink cable. Very low loss!!!

Okay, the DEQ is operational with its new reader. I will be getting an RTA pretty soon so I can really put this baby to work.

This is what sits behind the second row....3 marine batteries, two caps, and a whole lot of 2 guage wire. This bank is fed by 0 guage.

These are two Visonik V2908's. I experimented with these and decided not to use them. I have 3, and they are for sale.
