Sure, I'll list the price too since I'm somewhat of a bargain hunter and you'd be surprised how all this did not really cost me that much, compared if I had paid retail that is.

Front spekaers: Focal Utopia 5.25 comps, $499
Rear Spekaers: Focal PolyKevlar 6.5 comps, $299
4 Channel Amp 4 * 80: PPI PCX480 - $359
2 Channel Amp 2*200 or 800*1: PCX2200- $489
1 12" IDMAX - $280
Pioneer video head unit combo with 9000r Dolby digital processor - $1000 for combo
Playstation2 - $299
Lightning audio 1 farad cap with digital out - $99.

I got most of my stuff from Dennis at www.CBRstereo.com and Norman at www.speedsound.com. Great people to deal with!

Clem · 04-18-2002, 06:26 AM

Nice Focal is definitely some quality ****.

My buddy is running 3 focal subs and components in his Civic SiR the sound is so clean and crisp.

Mr.Stream · 04-18-2002, 09:52 AM

Hmmm.....You got too much money.
But it looks really cool. Spesially the PPI ams. I dig them.

phroder · 04-18-2002, 10:42 AM

That's a hell of a system you got goin. I just ordered an IDMAX and a PCX-1250 to replace my IDQ. I can't wait to hear the IDMAX after reading hype about it for two years. You gotta show us pictures of your install!

berman66 · 04-18-2002, 11:44 AM

i'm going with 165k in the front doors running them off a zapco reference 350. I have stealthboxes using a jl 250/1 and i will be changing that soon hopefully to an idmax
