Okay...I have some pics of the new install about 80% complete. The kick panels are not in, and the finish work is not all the way done, but the elctronics are good to go. Thank you mobass666 for the help with those sensitive alpine processors.

This is temporary till I decide on new subs. XXX 18!!! One big sub.

New amp rack under the second row of seats. Two A/D/S P 4.14 amps and one A/D/S P 6.25 amp. The 6.25 does the front component set in 4 channel mode, giving 50 watts to each midbass speaker and 25 watts to each tweeter.

Here are the two PRA-H400 processors delivering the signals to all the amplifiers.

The DEQ-30 I bought required a little repair in the form of a new toslink reader. This pic was taken just after I installed the new reader so the chassis is only 1/2 there. You can see the optical cables coming into the unit. Looks messy huh!

Here was my first amprack with Linear Power amps. These are very clean little amps, and they are not very expensive.

New 2.2 HV's for the rack.... 12.5 watts x 2 and 800x1 into 2 or 4 ohms. Ohh yeah!

Here they are in the rack. I think they're giving the xxx 18 around 1500 watts total. I left the amp on the 4 ohm taps, and the sub is showing each amp about a 3 ohm load.
