Install is everything too, I've had JBL p660c comps and souded as good as some guys high end Audio Systems 650$ comp set and mine were 150$ lol I have my 6.5" drivers all in their own pods inside my doors. Which make the cheapest of speakers sound great. Don't forget, there's nothing wrong with mainstream audio....it's all in the install ;-) and box is everything.

my old Pindepioneer comps for $35 sounded better then the type rs in the same doors. my head unit (i guess) blew those type r comps in 6 months and according to the dd1 my deck doesn't clip until volume 48 flat eq and before i knew that i never turned it up past 42. and my hpf is at 85hz mid 500hz -2 treble 12.5khz -2 on deck and that blew the rs without clipping! thats the exact opposite of quality! i just found out today that one of the mids is blown and one of the tweets is in its way out.
so In short a whopping 15w rms for 6months blew these $300 "top of the line" alpine comps!
there rated for 120w i think so if i actually put 120w to them they would have lasted what a week?

I dunno, I have had a pair of type x comps in my IS300 on 100+rms for over 2years and they loved it. It's always possible a bad batch came out of type r comps but I've heard a few on over 150rms and they get loud. But ur right, the quality is nothing like it used to be.

that's my neg to engine block. that's the knu koncepts cca 1/0g wire. personally I'm not a fan of kk wire and especially not cca wire but when i bought my yellow top the kid Gave Me a bunch of scraps all blue(which can be seen right by the Alt) and green as you stated. but some of the scraps had terminal rings already on them. so i just used it. it's so short the cca dont matter and hey free is free!

i really like white wire. mostly because you never see them. i have white wire for my ground for the 1400 might bring it up front to the engine bay... not sure.
i think i finally figured out how i wanna do my amp rack. but i Cant start it until i get my exo 15 box built

White wire is clean but sucks under hood, gets all greasy and dirty. I like techflex for under the hood personally. All wire out back will match though, including my sub speaker wire. Only wire that wont will be the little bit of speaker wire coming off the amps for the front stage, so i will probably hide it in white techflex. Make it all clean.

my power wire to my amp has the shield on it. i have some more but most everything is getting switched around. that's why some wires are miss matched and to long. I'll make everything pretty when i get all the real stuff
