I'm sure it sounds nice, but, please, don't drive in my neighborhood with the speakers full blast.

If you can just give me your general location and what time you usually fall asleep at night i'll see what I can do...

While its not my cup of tea anymore, I can appreciate the work you have put into customizing your car and won't knock you like others are. I imagine the only way it would be physically possible to add more sound to what you already have is to bring the box up level with the bulkhead. Not sure how much extra it would really give you however.

It's not all about volume. To achieve high clarity sound with loud volume is not a super simple task to do. This system sounds awesome and not just all bass or all volume. It was built by the guys at Showtime Audio Chicago and these guys are very comparable to Midwest Customs. This system is BEAST.

It would be great for tailgaters.
You could automate the tailgate, and if they get too close, open it and crank the volume up !

The sonic blast should shove them back 30 or so feet while giving you .2G or so of acceleration

Looks awesome
Maybe bring it to one of the Cruise nights in Naperville (every Wednesday) throughout the summer

While I am sure that the sound level is extreme and clarity is probably pretty good with top quality components, where can you go to Amp it up and what is the point? A little like listening to the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Von Karajan conducting, in a broom closet.

It looks good, the fake wood overlay in the cabin, however, not my taste.

I competed on and off for several years and was an installer myself, I had 2x12 type R alpine's in my last XF on an old, hand built PPI (precision power) amp and I hit nearly 140, I am shocked you are not doing much more than low 130s.

What exactly has been done? Number of amps? Double spun or aftermarket alternator? Battery isolator with multiple gel cell deep marine batteries? single or double 0 gauge wiring? 0 gauge ground?

Many more questions, just wanting some info, looks like a nice setup!
