[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8521535, member: 614752"] This is very good advice. I didn't see anybody else say it either, but do have a proper box built for the W7. Just dropping it in a prefab will be asking for disappointment. Money spent in sound deadening and prepping install locations of FRONTS will give you a lot more bang for your buck than trying to use a lot of speakers and filling every stock location. JL makes good quality amps that should last you many years and their speakers sound great. Keep it simple. You don't need nearly as much as you think you do to have good and loud music. *Edit* Also don't bother with caps ever, period. Seems like money isn't an issue, buy a premium AGM style battery up front and you should be fine. If you think you need more a high output alternator is the optimum way to feed amps. I have been using Excessive Amperage for many years now and Nathan does me right. Can't go wrong with Ohio Generator, or Mechman either. All of those have been around many years and are well regarded. There's a few other companies that may be good as well but they're newer and I won't vouch for them just because I've never dealt with them or known enough guys who do deal with them. Extra battery will get the job done and is cheaper, but you have to deal with mounting an extra battery and that extra 70 pounds kicking around. If you have the money, alternator is the way to go.
