No, Nelson. Not in yet. I let go of the TRU amps to the buyer of the Max. Doing a single Zapco Reference DC(likely 1000.4) to bypass the need of a separate processor, get my L/R EQ and T/A. For sub, not decided yet. For the interim, i have a DIYMA 12" just to get install moving asap and tune the fronts, but would like to do an IB Dynaudio MW190 down the line behind the armrest.
Do you have any bare trunk pics you can share?

Given my recent motivation to upgrade my sound system, I'm gonna tag this thread also.. Manny, it looks like you've sourced some crazy hardware from Germany. Nelson is gonna be helping and advising me regarding my own sound upgrades in the next few months. I can't wait to have a stereo that kicks a little ass!

Damn, Nelson. Those pics make me want to step up my driver game and I haven't even installed these yet 
I didnt know that whole back wall opens up like that. Was that Vanadium driver IB or sealed? If so ,Do you have a pick of the rear of the baffle?
I'm trying to keep this setup as simple as possible, yet have the T/A and EQ to optimize it. So DC's made sense.
I figured i could dump the spare to lose the weight and setup the DC's in the well like you did in that build if i end up going that route.
Thought we could just wire up a simbilink run tapped into the HU. I can always deviate to an MS8 and go budget on smaller amps that are stashable friendly (zapco studio x's).

Nice. Its been a solid sub, it always finds its way to hold me over between projects. The one i have is in a 1.0 cu/ft sealed box, but the driver has a MINT motor finish on the behind. I always considered going IB if I had enough DSP to tune the sub, since its has such a great looking arse with that polished plate, stacked magnets.
