Sound System Complete!!

Hi guys I have just complete the sound system mod on my C200K. I got

Alpine 9857 Deck
Zapco SX SL II Pre Amp
Front and Rear speakers: Dynaudio Esotec 6.5" Woofer, 3" Tweeter
2 JL 10W6 V2 in custom bandpass box
Audison VRX300 115x4 @ 4ohm
Base Acoustic 1200Watt Class D
Street Wires and EFX speaker wires and cable.
Karstard 2.0 microfarad Capacitor

I know i should have gone for the 12's but the bandpass box will be so big that i wont be able to put grocery in.

Looks awesome! Nice job. How is the sound? Also, how loud does it get? Thinking about a set-up in mine. I already have all the gear from my sponsor to put in it...

wow i like your set up! nice deck you got there. The tweeter pod was mold without requiring replace a pillar or cutting original piece thats why it looks a bit funny but it doesn't bother me much. The esotec is great. Good mid base and produce big vocal. The highs is not as good as the Morel but I find it more entertaining to listen to than the Morel.

Some may ditch Dyn because of their somewhat lack of detail and accuracy, but when listening to music, it's the emotion that count. This is where Dyn excel, attack and decay is amazing. Are u running pasive or active??

the great thing about this work is that no rattling noise whatsoever. My previose box was rattling like hell while driving. The box and rear sound concept cost usd 1000 my whole system cost like about 7-8 grand but please do remember that electronics in Thailand is a lot more expensive than in US. So if I am in US probably cost half the price for all the goods.
