Pics of finished system

Well, it's al done, just about, gotta tidy up a few wires and paint the bezel, it's just primered right now, going to do the texture paint w/a satin finish I think. The amps are JL 500/1 and 300/4 endcaps and bottoms removed and put together as one large amp. A custom 1/4" steel box tubing bracket was welded up and is bolted to the back of the amps and secured to the vehicle. I will have to snap a few pics of the sub box w/the panel removed. The sub is a JL 10w1. It sounds pretty good, but I'm also gonna have that whole panel made flush w/the wheel well and get a 10w7 in there, I hope.

The system is:
Kenwood Excelon 8017 Double DIN w/Nav
JL 300/4& 500/1
JL 6.25 ZR fronts
JL 6.25 XR rears
Ipod adapter

WoW! Very well done. I like how "integrated" it looks...

Thanks, I'm very happy with the way it came out. The box will be available in a one piece fiberglass unit with sub shortly too for anyone wanting one. Only thing I have to spend a little more time on is a low volume engine whine. Spent a few hrs chasing down where it was coming from..wiring, grounds, power, amps, swapped them out..nothing. Well, turns out that if you look at my crossover setup...originally it was on the Drivers side, right above the power wire and battery cable. Was picking up the noise through the crossovers! Very strange. Pick it up in your hand...noise gone, set it back down...noice came back. So yesterday, we pull all the wires and soldered new wires and extended them to place the xovers on the passenger side. The noise is JUST about gone, but I can still hear it slightly. I'm thinking the power cable is still too close to the wires running from the amps to the crossover. Going to try shielding the wires and hopefully eliminate the noise.

ok - I know it's been a while since you posted this, but I'm wondering if you're still offering the sub enclosure for the x5 and if so, how much? I like what you did on yours - it's exactly what I would prefer for mine...
possibly if you have the box without the sub, please let me know how much it would be...
I'm based in Vancouver, Canada - not sure if that would affect your price...

That's amazing, it looks great. I wish I had the brains you do to be able to set something up like this in my X.

A 10W7 would be perfect for your 500/1...
