Is my system any good?
Ok here it is. I will get pics up soon but for now I'll just tell you what I have.
1)kenwood head unit
2)4ga ground and power cables
3)gold plated o2 free rca'*
4)12ga speaker wire
5)200amp fuse in square fuse block(way expensive!)
6)jensen mka 500wt competition amp(I hate big amps)
7)mtx box for hatchback cars that fits in the trunk and I could easily put 2 more of them in there!
2 12" sony xplod subs
Just wondering what you guys think my system would push in a db drag or something.
I need a capacitor and probably a component system to replace the stock speakers!

I would be really interested to see or get your feedback on it. Personal preference.. I will not go with Sony Xplod Subs.. I"ve heard them and they don't hit accuretly nor low enough in my opinion. If money allows JL is #1 choice for me.. I will be trying out Cerwin Vegas hopefully this summer. I"ve never tried Jensen Amps so I don't know how they are. Went through a few amps in my lifetime and the best I"ve had was JBL'* ( the are way underated and WILL push out the RMS as stated if not more ). My old ( gone now ) 500 Watt JBL unit kicked major a$$ and blows the doors off even my last one ( which got stolen 
) Acoustic Audio'* A1000 1000watt amp. But at the same token.. I"m gettin old so having the music crankin major SPL and DB to the point everyone within 2 block radius can here is a little too much for me now. I want it to play hard clear and pound hard enough at high enough decibal for me to still tolerate IN my car.. not have to flick a remote buttons outside the car to go.. cool huh.. now give me a boost so I can get home.. hahaha.. But again.. the key is if you're happy with how it sounds.. that'* all that matters. Let us know on it.

That is way true about the son'y not hitting evenly and they don't hit low enough. they sound like a midrange! but they don't sound too bad. I am going to go with a pair of audiobahn flame series subs after I get my new airdam and paint it which will be a while down the road :(

thats ok for someone who wants good sounding music...gives LITTLE bass...( empahsising little) but a 200 amp fuse...you use a fuse so that you dont blow your crap on a power spike...with that fuse youll blow your crap on a power spike but it wont break....thats a beast! i had 2 12 " sonys...SUCKED....go with mtx...JL....rockford...kenwood deck...i woudlnt recommend...but its decent...pending which model you have.....you kinda wasted money on a 500 W amp...specially on a jensen...it pushed out what...125 x 2 @ 4 ohm? or what?...but overall...its a DECENT...system....
