Thanks guys. Well I'm using the JL Audio 500/1 amp that is pretty much designed to power that sub at about 350-400 watts rms. I used 4gauge wire and a 1farad cap to power it. And for highs I have 4 infinities powered off my Headunit which is probably only 35rms. Depending on the quality of the CD I can blast the volume all the way to max (35/35, with treb lowest, bass lowest and Sub at max (15/15)), But I think I want to get some tweeters to bring up the music in front.1995stockcivic said:
Ctele02 (actually 05) Profile (Death to all 56k modems!)

Well I guess its about time I've made one of these... I previously drove an 02 GLS Elantra and thats how I got into modding since it was my first car. After finding this site, I've realized that theres more potential in these cars than most people see in it. So thats why after my accident (totalled the 02) I "upgraded" to an 05 model! I liked the 01-03 body more, but I have a thing about used cars... So most of my Audio mods in this new car came straight out of the corpse of my old one, tragic yet that is the circle of life I guess...
Pictures/History:
(pre-Profile) My Alpine Headunit (CDA-9805): I like how at night, its lights match the rest of the green in the dash and console.
My JL Audio 12" W6 with Ported Box: On the top you can see the scars it received from that last car's accident, but luckily it survived and sounds as good as the day I bought it.
My 15x7 Rota Slipstreams (13lbs) with 205/55/15 88V BFGoodrich G-Force Sports (20lbs)
(10/27/05) Audio: JL 500/1, JBL GTO75.4 and Road Rage Capacitor
(11/14/05) Speakers: 2x 6.5" Infinity Reference 6012 si (50rms) , 2x 6x9 Infinity Reference 960 3i (100rms)
(11/19/05) Tiburon Sway Bar w/ Metal Endlinks (No pic): It really is a big improvement over the smaller stock bar with plastic links! (Part#'s 55511-2C100, 2x 55513-2C110 and 2x 55530-29500)
(11/21/05) 35% Tints (No pic): Not so dark (cool) but Great for getting the sun out of my face, plus they are legal.
(11/26/05) MUSSA Type-B Front Strut Bar: Looks good and "feels" good, I think... or it might be a placebo effect but I still like it.
(12/19/05) MUSSA Rear Strut Bar: Nice and Shiny.
(12/20/05) ARK Black Billet Antenna: Shorter than I expected... When they say Four Inches... They mean it.

So ya my car = Totalled... was able to get most of my system out except for front speakers and wiring. Don't know if the amps/sub still work but i assume they do. Only able to get 3 of 4 rims... each of the three was quite a deed to get out as Morgan can attest. I "gave" him my ARK antenna, 2 rear Infinity Refs and Rear Mussa Strut Bar since hes helped me a lot in the past. The Springs/Struts/SwayBar/FrontStrut were most likely all destroyed and not worth the time to check.
I'm alive and so are the other people I hit but I'm pretty sure our insurance will be so high that we won't get another "nice" car like an XD in a while.

Hey im back... the reason is I wanna share my new (used) car! Drum roll please.... its a 2006 Silver Subaru Legacy! Its special edition, non turbo 2.5L (about 170hp) shiftronic automatic transmission and ofcouse all wheel drive. Eventhough it was bought with 15k miles on it, the car feels and looks mint. First impressions are the car is a big step up from an elantra. Although i do miss somethings about the elantra, for example the ergonomics I was more used to in the elantra but thats from about 5 yrs of being in one. The car is MUCH faster but at the cost of being less fuel efficient seeing average 20mpg, but it handles so well and stops so easily. No leaning few bumps are felt and the steering is right straight on. Though I don't think I'll be modifying it anytime this decade... but who knows maybe down the road. Sorry to brag Heres a pic of what I'm talkin about:
