I have finally got around to doing my system and it's pics as I promised. I will be going in for my tuning session mid-week, and have used the last week to just "break-in" everything. So, far, I'm dumbfounded how great this system sounds. SO much SPL while sustaining incredible SQ results!
I have tried going with the LCY 110 tweets and the Peerless XLS 8's but have been stopped in my tracks due to space limitations with the configuration of what I was trying to accomplish. Never the less, it sounds downright awesome! It hasn't even been tuned yet!!! My friends are stunned by the overall sound and results. It really doesn't matter what I play. It all sounds soooo clear and musical while having such a presence to it. The bass. although extreme and exaggerated with 4 12" IDMAX's, finds a way on blending so well with the highs while pounding your chest in, if you so desire.
Here's a link to my SoundDomain webpage for this system and vehicle.

Overall nice setup. Although, to make that even more cleaner I'd try to hide the wires going to the amps by making an amp template to semi flush the amps in. Would take some work and planning but the end result would be hot. Just a thought
Love the install regardless.

Wow just a little headroom in the power department huh? That's a seriously sweet setup. How did you cross everything? Did you use the amp's built in xovers where you could and make the rest on your own? Let see, highpass for the tweeter, bandpass on the mid, bandpass on the woofer, lowpass on the subwoofer. That's a lotta filters!

lol, I knew that was coming.
LOL What took so long!
BTW, Those TN52 tweets I am running are doing a great job in the kicks. The TN51's (Utopia) are the harsher of the 2, the TN52's are from the K2P series, and are a lot less harsh. Also, throw them in kicks and theyre even less harsh! A bit of tweeking, and yo uhave some real clear, very nice sounding tweeters.
As much as most would not like to admit it, Focal TN52's and even 51's in some cases, if done properly, can really sound as good as any tweeter. Theyre just hard to get to that point, but is totally possible! When people hear my TN52's, they freak with the highs on how clear they are.

Been busy...major midterm test this week I was busting ass for.
Nah...Focal and good sounding never go together. Only heard 1 or 2 cars that had Focal tweeters that didn't hurt my ears, and those were TLRs.
Want some good metal domes (yeah, that's nearly an oximoron in of itself)? Get some Seas Lotus metal domes.

Which ones would you recommend? If money was not an issue, which would be ideaal from ANY brand out there!
Metal domes? Right there in the last sentence of the last paragraph. The Lotus metal domes are pretty darned nice. Maybe the LPG metal domes...
