Build looks great! I don't know how I missed the install of the tens, but they look good back there! Where do you have them crossed over now? The 8s I have in the back of my truck I have at 60hz now. Keep banging on them they should loosen up some.

Again, wiring will get cleaned up when battery gets back from warranty.

Last but not least time to add some fuses for the RF amps...

So how's the staging with the majority of your mids being behind the seat? I would think it would be super weird to listen to.

Full tilt for 7 songs back to back. You know. Up. ;)

Well, I have done 1-2 songs at full tilt, but not 7. With my overlap at -7.5 7 wouldn't have been possible. Now at -5 I think I will try one of these days. Things get pretty warm though, I wouldn't say hot, but pretty warm, amps and subs. I dig and dig and dig on the voltage though, love testing it. I listen to 10-20 songs full tilt but there is a minute or two in between each one till I find the next one I want to play, if that counts. I set everything correctly and attempted to made things bullet proof apart from manufacturer defects which i apparently don't have so I am just using my equipment to it's full potential IMO.

To answer your earlier question about the FI X series I will say this, at 0 db overlap was as impressed/blown away as I thought I would be, at -5 or -7.5 I got the volume out of it I had hoped for. It sounds good, don't get me wrong, but I liked the sound of the SP4's better, and the RF T2's for that matter. Don't know how else to describe it. Is it loud? YES! Does it sound good? YES! I listen to all types of music so I went with soft suspension subs, I knew I wanted multiple smaller ones so I went with more towards entry level subs, I am wondering if maybe the sound I was after would have been better with more Xmax or motor force subs? I technically don't have any complaints about it, and plan on keeping it this way for a while, but next time I will go a different direction for a different "sound". Oh, the quality of the subs is on par. =)

Originally I had them crossed at 100 when new, was too high, I now have them at 80, I feel like I can get more out of them so I will do 70/71 next and see if it's where I am them or too low/high. Inside screaming at me they are decent, but working on a vehicle the other day I had it parked 25' away and at about 3/4 volume and every type of music sounded DAMN good. I might try and put them more off axis to see if it sounds better at such a close proximity. They are just rear fill that I wont have on all the time so no biggy, and no hurry. IMO though crossed at 80 is still too high.....

The staging is absolute shit, LOL. This is very temporary so it just is what it is for the time being. I have 2 PPI 3-way sets that will go in the doors and either the volume of these will be turned down for the daily or off and then only turned on during demo's so everything just screams. I am not one who is into only having the sound/staging in front of you like at a concert. This isn't SQ, 12 subs for crying out loud, lol. I watch movies in here so I like the sound to be everywhere, personal preference to me is sound only in front/sides and it sounds like something is missing. I am ok with loud and clear and sacrifice staging/RTA/etc. It's just the way I am and what I want. =/

Your are right though, until door panels are done it's SUPER annoying with just sound because the seat....
