looks nice m8 kinda thing im thinking of sound gd? how hard was it 2 build?

[b0t13]

not bad, it looks good!

just dont spoil it with 6x9s in the parcel shelf!

[Scott]

looks nice but i would remove the power cap as a) it doesnt do anything and b) it would tidy up the back of the build there

[reevesy_vtr]

great subs and the orion amp is the nuts BUT if you can get a westcoast 4 channel amp that would finnish the install off.

[Danes_SaxoVTR]

looks smart mate!

[YM03]

not bad mate, just a couple of things

1 lose power cap, pointless

2 try and get another westcoast amp then it will all fit and look tidy

[liamk15]

looks decent mate :Y:


btw what does the power cap do?

[AJ992]

looks good mate

and ye ive always wondered what do power caps actually do :err:

[VTaaRon]

think power caps store some energy taking the strain of the battery and alternator not sure tho!

i have a 200w jenson amp if you wanna sell your 600w one let me know the two will go well together in my boot cheers pm me if youre thinking about it!

[Scott]

as has been said already in the thread power caps dont do anything

[AJ992]

well they must do something or else why would they make em

[Scott]

same old arguement as 6x9s, because people beleive the sales patter and buy them

[AJ992]

looked on web and they just like stop ur headlights from dippin if youve got a big system and your battery cant cope, so ye wud be useless in small setups but help in bigger ones

they don't help in bigger ones either, if you have an install that starts putting a strian on battery/charging or your system does get big, you go for the lesiure battery:thumbup:

[reevesy_vtr]

Just put a yellow top battery in on a stlit charge.

what would you call a big set up? as i wouldn't call 2 subs and front comps a big setup and mine dim, when i start the car after work, turn some music on the car will actually stall if i let it idol....hmm

[mark_saxo]

alpine tpe r subs are ace!

[Andyblacksaxo]

Don't get rid of the power cap. Just tidy the wires going to it. Being stealth looks much better.
