That I will man. Can I get some recommendations as far as SQ test tracks go? I know these subs are not really meant for SQ, but I wanna see what it can do.

For sound Q testing I like:

The Twinz

DJ quik's album "safe and sound" especially Quiks Groove.

Lotsa Reggaeton like Tego Calderon, Daddy Yankee, Calle 13, & Voltio.

N.E.R.D.

Lotsa "LOVE" jams: Jahiem, Carl Thomas, Robin Thick, John Mayer& Stuff w/ instrumentals.

Nellyville is ok.

And I check the "quick bass" response w/ some techno.

Wow. These things slam. I'm still breakin them in (dunno if it's necessary but figured i might as well), but I let it crank up a little bit, and it was rattling the door on my friends house....40 feet away. I checked, and I think I can get a hairtrick out of it, no girls were handy though to check for sure.

This amp is amazing, the gains haven't been over half, and it's hitting real hard already. Theres a lot left in it. Vids/pics comin soon. Ran out of handy cash to buy carpet, so I just threw it in as is, and it probably will stay like that for a while haha

Sounds good, still havent really slammed it, neighbors got mad last time i tried with a diff setup. Only problem is, when I was bumpin it farily hard, there was a pretty noticeable time delay, as in the bass hit just a tad offbeat. I know I can correct this by using a processor with time correction, but is this normal?? Maybe it's just the subs? Or too much power? (that Rockford amp is a BEAST by the way)

Andddd, I could feel air coming out the front passenger window, tried a hair trick, no go that time. Mayyybe with a different song/different hair haha

Btw: This setup already rattled loose my front overhead console, one of the bolts came vibrating out. And those of you with tahoes (attn meade??), how did you stop the rear overhead console from rattling?? That thing's loud as hell

Thanks man, the terminals are just bolts with a ring terminal on each side. A lot stronger than a terminal cup or siliconing around the hole.
