This sub has some SERIOUS output! The distortion is the mic can not keep up with the subs output. Very clean, very deep and hits hard if you wanna play some hippity hop music.

And a little live music. I am very happy with this things sound. Granted unless you are on a PC with a very good sound card and speakers you wont really get a full feel of its sound quality but a good set of headphones may do it.

Install looks crisp & clean, I borrowed your trunk pic to show my audio guy when I'm ready to get rid of the box.

Its about to get even better! For over a decade I have been hunting for a very special tweeter they havent made in over 20 years. The Infinity EMIT-N MK2. Hands down the best sounding tweeter I ever heard. Better than the $1000 Beryllium Illusions, better than the $2000 Utopia Be and even better than the $4000 Sinfoni Opus tweeters. Simply mind blowingly clean and crisp. They make music like no other. Buddy hooked me up with two pairs for only $550 so I can do one pair in the Jag and one in the Denali. I cant wait as I have spent thousands trying to find a tweeter like it and never could. I cant believe these were just sitting on a shelf nearly 12,000 miles away for over a decade. Cant wait as this should make the Jag have the best sounding stereo I have ever built!

Last week my buddy is in the car and says "You have never really gotten on it with me in it" and I thought, gee I really have never gotten on it so I did. TC off, Sport mode on and car kept the tires lit till 3rd gear. Next day I start the car and its vibrating a bit. Then I notice a loud thud every time I take off. Damnit! I was so worried I hurt the rear or something. Pop the hood and load torque the engine and it tried to leave the engine bay. Little closer investigation and yup, think the mounts were ready to be replaced. lol

Previous owner did all control arms 500 miles before I bought it. I have only put another 3000 on it. After I do the rear shocks and spring mount bushing it will be about as overhauled as you can get without tearing apart the engine or trans. Everything on the car has under 4k on it save for the engine and trans. lol
Well probably the axles too. I did just lube them (u joints) today but they seem smooth and tight.

Doing the next change. Everyone always says my intake is too blingy for the engine compartment. Did an antique pewter hammer finish on the pipe that should be close to the engine color with veins that are close to the wheel color. Let it dry overnight and see how it turns out.

Alright, now I have a before and after using the Hammer finish antique platinum paint. Blends the wheels, paint and engine colors together I think.
