So I finally got my system put in thanks to Chris (HT) for referring me to a good place =) Turned out very clean I love it. 2 PPI amps and a Solo-Baric kicker...

No just the regular. The amp made the stock speakers sound a lot better tho

The enclosure looks flush. Good choice in equipment. Ive always liked the quality of PPI.

Sounds good. I have a blast singing while driving now haha. The bass was a little to strong for me tho =P
How do you get rid of that rattling noise... is the the license plate?

there's a lot of things that rattle back there--including the license plate. it can help if you add Dynamat--which is a sound dampening/deadening material:

but even after that, don't expect the rattling to disappear... it'll probably help though. also, i would make sure your license plate/plate frame has ALL four screws (and tightened) in it to give it the most secure fit. i would even tape it down with some double-sided adhesive for the most secure fit.

Nice set-up, love the lights and the fact that you used PPI. I'm running a PPI A600 for my bass and I love it.

Definitely want to tighten up the screws on the lic plate. I lost two screws the night I installed my sub. The base was definitely too strong for me for the first month, then you kinda get used to it. If you need to, adjust the gain down to lower the output of the amp.

Nice clean set up KC Girl!

I've been so tempted to upgrade my sound system but don't want the added weight....

Maybe I'll just upgrade the drivers and add just an 8" subwoofer with new amps..
