Yes all passive. Alpine f17t comps in the doors and spx 177A in the rear. 2 pair 3 ways in doors and 3 set of 6 1/2 comps in the wall. Same wall and doors from the first install. 1986 regal with 6000 zpa watts is now a regal unlimited with 6,800 watts.

Looks good but if I may, cut a piece of plexi the same size as the wood base for the zero points and then cut a 5-6" hole in the middle and then take a either individual or a strip of leds in that hole in the middle and it will edge light the base/plexi that they are on.

don't get me wrong it looks killer but they just seem to be lost in a shadow. I imagine that in person that is not the case but I think with the edge lit they would really pop out of the middle.

I saw your regal once at automotive innovations in davenport at a db drag event in late 04/early 05 I was out looking to see if I could find my orion cobalt amps and mint soundstream D100 and SF90 that had been stolen. Still looking...
Was a nice install then, still looks nice. I must say though, I think the ZPAs were sexier in their raw class AB awesomeness. That current draw though....

Wow..... yea Solar Vision did that system and screwed it totally up. They do good work but are bias to the people. If I was an old man with a classic car with a basic system they would have made it look good. But they do not like it when you want a system that will shake the earth. They told me that a wall of 4 15 kicker would not fit. So I took out my back seat and took a tape measure and said it would. So they built my first wall. It was so big that when I got in the car I could barely squeeze in between the steering wheel and my seat and half my arm could have stuck through my wind shield. The next day I took it to that competition at automotive. It was embarrassing to think off it now that I'm older. Even my door panels they just did a shitty job cutting the holes for the components. Have pics of it all. So I took it to a guy that defected from them and started his own and thus the 1986 regal 6000 zpa. But the current draw was too much on a v belt system. I would have to switch to a chevy and get a dual alt set up from March per. Via serpentine. They sell a kit with dual 320 amp alts. I wish I could do all zpa but it's not in my budget anymore. I have came along way since those days. And what solar vision said couldn't be done. .. well it could. With boxes to spec and full seat movement. New door panels and good enough for me. Any more companies are just out to squeeze any and every dollar they can. Damon LAUD or what ever his name is... I shoulda listen to Chris Molk back in 1996-7 your are a snake. Chris Monte Carlo made from cover of auto sound or car audio I think with his Monte Carlo/phoenix/Oz totally custom set up. Pictured right by the centinnenial bridge. I was 17 back then and that kick started my dream of car audio hell that finally has ended

The cool thing about this set up is I can switch those Viper d2500.1 to ppi pc 2350 which I've never heard before. Or go back to 2 zpa 0.5. The board that the Zpa amps for mids and high are on is hinged and lifts up to reveal the line drivers and bass cube. The 15 farad Ti power core is located under the main amp rack.

.......Huge shout out to the best installer in the mid west HANDS DOWN.... Brian Carpentier. Custom mobile audio installation fabrication. Located in Illinois and very very good. Highly recommended. Did 3 different set ups for me and did them excellently! Same set up... just brand new kickers now.

Hey Anthony, the install is looking great. Ever consider going with fiberglass in the trunk? You can get contours that are near impossible with MDF, plus it's lighter.

I'm starting my install soon in my new car and my plan is to use an amp similar to your 2300, so I'll be able to test yours in my car before I send it to you. It passes all of my bench tests but nothing beats the in car test.
A few of these and a few of those.

I wish I could do fiber glass everything but it's alot of work and super time consuming. Plus to have it painted to match would be awesome along with the wall. But it would be very expensive. I'm just glad to have it all back in there. I can't wait to hear those custom ppi amps. I'm tackling the second alternator alignment bracket issue now. Remember I have an olds 307 v belt. As far as I know they don't make a serpentine set up for it. I have a second Alt now but I have to reposition it to have an even pull on both sides of the crank and water pump. Thanks guys I'm just glad to have some music finally
