It does go boom boom when I want it to, but when I turn the bass down, it actually sounds fantastic on music. My goal was to create the ultimate SQ build with the option of getting crazy loud if I wanted to.
The sound quality is amazing. Going fully active (amplifying after you crossover) is the only way to do it. The speakers all image so well, I'm very happy with how it all turned out.

Anybody know where to get a cheap back up camera? Also, for anyone who has put a stereo in a not too old Ford, what did you do with the two orange wires that are both marked illumination?

I would hook at least one up. Read up on it, it will dim your head unit when you turn headlights on etc.

I hooked the one the instructions specified up, but it didn't dim. I'll try the other one tonight. I think one is to power the lights and the other one is to tell them to dim when you flip the headlight switch. Amazon has back up cameras galore, I just have to find one with decent reviews. All I have left to do is trim the dash opening, find a wire for reverse, and run RCA cables to my amp. I don't know why I haven't gone with an aftermatket head unit sooner. It is so nice to have and it's not even done.

seths right, they dim your unit when you flip on the lights. you'll need to run the orange wire to the positive wire on your headlight switch. I personally don't like the dimmer, so I just leave it disconnected, but to each his own.
edit: for the back up cam, run the wire to the reverse lights.

I know what it does, it just didn't work when I hooked it up like the adapter kit and stereo install guide made it sound like it should be hooked up but I hooked the other orange wire up and it works fine now. Now it's just getting the fit right when I cut the dash.
I don't want to run a wire all the way to the tail lights just for the back up camera. Word on the interwebs is that there's a wire coming out at the bottom of the steering column I can use for this purpose. I ordered a back up camera for 15 bucks on ebay, hopefully it works out.

I would steer clear of all of those brands.
6.5 JBL marine speakers that I have in the bronco are the tits. Get super loud off very little power and do not break up and distort.
Hifonics is good for amps, MB Quart (Also owned by maxxonics) is better for speakers.
Stay away from pioneer and kicker. They sell them at walmart, nuff said there.
And MTX is more concerned with form than function.
JBL all the way.

Nothing wrong with pioneer as long as it isn't the crap sold at Walmart. As far as weather/water resistant speakers, as long as it doesn't have a paper cone (cheap speakers) it will be fine. Don't waste a lot of money on rig speakers, you are just going to annoy others on the trail.

Got these speaker pods for christmas. i'm gonna put some pillow stuffing in them.
then got these speakers from best buy with some gift card shuffling, and got the amp from work from returning a ****ty broken window motor from my dad's suburban. I got a 4 channel cause i'm gonna mount my old pioneer 6x9's behind the seats
what are the battery looking things?
