    I personally went with ********* and dont regret it 1 bit. Tech12volts has a great reputation around here, but i have my own reasons why i went elsewhere. The cold hard facts are, you have plenty of options, depending on what you want and your budget. To do whats best for you.

Right now u could barely hear my music with my windows down wen I’m doing 70mph

    Did you go with 12 tech? I am very seriously considering this set up.
    Reviews when completed?
    Thanks

    Yea i did, everything looks good he sent me all types of wiring harnesses I got all 4 doors done already on Tuesday I will start taking out seats and carpet to soundproof floors and back wall and wire up amp and subs oh and I have to get the dash speakers done which looks likes it might be a PIA hope not but he has them already wired up to plug and play.
    I have to say it’s been a good experience with James at 12v I work evenings so get out at 11pm we were messaging at almost 2am he answered all my questions fast could not believe it hopefully the system sounds as good as his communications been

    Very curious to hear how it turns out. I'm thinking of doing it at some point, but I have the JBL system and it sounds pretty good for me at this point, so this is lower on my priority list.

    Are the dashboard speakers going to be amped? Is that the center with 2 speakers and did you have to modify the fit?

    Thanks.

    No need to spend any where near $2500 unless you just like throwing your money away. I went Taco Tunes 5 channel, Rockford sub from Amazon, and Infinity Kappas Xovers from Crutchfield. Probably spent 1/4 that. I have not done rear speakers but never have passengers so I have faded towards the front.

    Is that the jl rd900/5?? I almost went with that one but got a better deal on a xd 700/5.
    I installed mine last week and it sounds amazing. I disconnected my dash speakers though and put my tweeters in the sail panels of the front door. I believe it sounds better in my opinion.
