Jl + Rockford Fosgate C230 Sound System!!

Hi everybody, i read up on the thread about the c230 speakers.. and i thought i mean, it doesnt have to be hiphop or rap, for loud music. like the guy said he listens to sinatra, or what ever, bass totally makes the song better.. today, i got installed my speaker system. i can get you full pictures.. of everything, in couple days, just gotta get ma camera.. well.. heres what i have..

JL AUDIO 10" W7 ( probably the best subwoofer out there, it takes 4 12" w6's)
Rockford 800.1 pushing out about 1000watts to the subwoofer..
Rockford 600a4 for my speakers
i have 3-way Boston Acoustics Pro Series 6.53 ( the best components you can get, except for the new boston z-series which range for 1000MSRP.... i bought these for 750)
Phoenix Gold 0 Gauge Wiring, it is the fattest wiring, and probably the best as well. I study music and all i do is sound.. If anybody needs stuff for systems, i have the best hookups... i can get you atleast, 45-60% off original price...

you're close! nice system you have there. where'd you get it installed, and what kind of head unit did you put in?

i'm looking to replace my entire stock system very soon.

Can you get that 'special' pricing on Dynaudio and A/D/S ? If I can get good prices on a/d/s P series amps and Dynaudio seperates I may be tempted to go hogwild on my system again!

Thanks

a/d/s

yes i can get special.. prices for you on the a/d/s products and all.. better than any place...

and the headunit i have is the Pioneer avx-7300DVD...
MSRP = $1999.99... but now i think it went down to like $1400... SO id say its one of the best headUnits and its awsome resolution + good sound output....

haha i'm not planning on dropping $5 grand like you did (i'm asssuming thats what you paid); i dont need dvd in my car or anything. all i want is some nice front mids/highs, a nice clean sub and a clean HU that plays mp3 cds. i dont care about the "rear" speakers because they're muffled by the seats anyway.

also, the reason i want to hook up with you is because you know where to get it installed! i want to do this right, and also you said you could get good prices on gear. i'll PM you when i'm ready to install it.
