(Chicago audio store) dual voice coil. grils for both of the speakers. 850/2 kicker amp. bridged for the 2 ohm subs. 2.4 digital cap. all the 4 gage wires for the system and the fuses. all monster!!!! also a set of monster RCA's!! A remote for the amp" "

not bad, i have 1 L7 and i love it, it sounds great with the right set up... make sure your enclosure is sealed though i know tweeter charges a crap load for a custom box... and personally my friend had one made from them and they didnt even read whats a good cubic feet or the sub so he has no low lows

im running a l7 sealed at 1000/1 ohm and people say it sounds better than most subs they hear

oh and nah its not to much power if u dont mind some light dimmage, you should sell 1 of the subs though cuz 2 subs isnt much better than 1 sub

Not with a 2.4 fared cap you wont dim any lights. Btw, its a power acoustik.... the capacitor... All monster wires, monster rca's 4 gauge cables ect. Just picked it up, and its sitting in my room. Sweet deal!

sounds/looks sweet
but some problems i have with just my one 12" sub is alot of vibration
i have it pointed to the back seat and it sounds sweet inside the car, but u go outside with the boot(trunk to u i think) closed and it just vibrates and the spoiler doesnt help much, but if i open the boot its awesome but i cant really drive around like that ...
oh and also the bit on the dash that i took out and painted sometimes creaks if the right bse is played ...

With the OEM alternator and the capacitor you'll still be experiencing dimming lights. You'll see...

save the battery money and upgrade your alt, a battery isnt going to hold what your amp needs at loud bass

Ok, well ill still take your word for it, but ive talked to so many people about caps, and the fact that its 2.4 fared.... it WILL Hold the power for my subs to hit AND at max wattage... which how often does that happen? Not often do you max out your subs.... and the cap DOES make a diffrence , how can you say it doesnt. That is not true.

Haha, thats funny. I'm sure ill get rid of them in a year or two anyways, for the sake of space, and they will probaly get old too me. But again with the capacitor. Hmm.. i wont get into it... i just still think it should work A.O.K !

most people dont think that caps do jack sh**, but mine has really helped. then again its 12 fareds... but still. my lights dont dim anymore or anything like that, and my amps run at a pretty good flow of 13-14.
