I was just curious if anyone here has a big sound system. Although I don't, I used to have a nice little system waaaay back in my car and always liked nice clean/loud systems. I realize big systems can be a little more challenging in a truck.

Post some photos and a descriptions of what you have. I'd really like to see them. :icon_thumby:

You guys are giving me ideas for when I get home. I have a memphis 2000w amp and a soundsplinter RL -i10 sub, a memphis 450w amp and alpine component set for the front, and an alpine iDA-X100 head unit. I plan on getting a batcap for it since I will probably step up and get a 3rd amp and run components in the rear later as well. So far all I have planned out is a .45cf box tuned to 27hz for the sub and qlogic kick panel mounts for the front components.

spendy system, i wanna see some pics of the bench. did you get everything retail? im at Just over 1200 bucks but everything i bought was direct from the manufacturer, except the head unit which came from craigslist. i will never pay high retail prices for run of the mill gear from best buy etc..
