Just looking to show off my setup, and see what else is out there. I have a 2010 Escalade Platinum, that being said i feel this is a pretty nice truck and did not want to go as extreme as my past set ups, but I'm big time into loud obnoxious music, so I had to do something to this one.

Wanted something "subtle" as in not too flashy, looking like a flea market stereo, but also wanted to keep use of as many seats as possible in this vehicle. Built a custom enclosure for my 12" Fi Q series subwoofer

Like i said i wanted to keep it looking neat so i tried to make the box look like a third row seat when in the folded position.

Started with the amp for the sub under the seat, 1 Alpine PDX1.1000

That ended up not being enough so then i upgraded to 2 Alpine PDX1.1000

Then those weren't cutting it, so now i have a Rockford Fosgate T15001BD, and needing a new carpet surround :oops:

Also plan on installing those Focals in the background soon, deciding on what amp to use to run those, to put under the passenger side second row.

Lets see what everyone else is running, if anything.

I'm currently running a 10" JL W6 in a small box right behind the second row. I'm actually wanting to research how to have a box built for in the sides to be flush. I'm tired of having to pull it out anytime I need to run my 3rd row seats. My sub is powered by a Massive 1000.1 amp. Very clean power with minimal draw, but I hate how it "pops" when turning on and off. You get a weird pop from the sub from the signal thrown with on/off.

I plan on having the entire cabin dynomated with floor, roof, sides, doors, and rear hatch. I feel that will improve the quality of the inept Bose speakers for now... Later when all of the other projects are done, I'll replace the full system for a Hybrid Audio set of speakers and new head unit.

Not off hand. I had to use a shallow mount p3 Fosgate sub. I was very pleased on how it sounded. Just bought a new toy and freeing up some cash so this is for sale

Lift carpet a little mount a mesh grill underneath on top of the plastic. Lay back over carpet. Should look cool.
