Post pics or vids of your stereo here. These are my kicker Comp R (2) 12s 2000.1 hifonics Zeus amp and Alpine type R 15 performince technique 2000.2 amp. I also have a capacitor that runs both amps and an optima red top battery for juice upgrade alternator bought off a guy from Los Angeles California.

Doesn't the rear receiver rack really kill your departure angle?

No offence tyler, but have you heard of GMTNation? You might be a better fit there if you've got a system of that size. I doubt you'll find anything larger than a single 10" here, and that would be rare indeed.

I have a 10" sub! It sits in the garage. lol Hell, I doubt the Amp even works anymore. I think it's an old Optimus. Anyone else know who sold those? They were actually pretty solid units.

Yes it does and I'm in the process if making a new one for it to better suit the angels it was my first and I like the way it looked I put the 12" sub's in there when I bought it but the 15 has since been removed as of yesterday just 12s only that still give a lot of cargo room and. I'm now in the process of also get all my parts for lift adapters wheels tires and possibly an rear locker just getting the finances straight and gathering parts today of some minor things

I played that game back in high school... 2 8s - 3 10s - 2 12s - 4 6x9s - 4 tweeters. All at once just to know what it could be in a 2 door s10 Blazer. It was ridiculous but fun.

Now its simple quality...

They are now along the Dr side facing the pass. Also got components for up front.

Optimus was just Radio Shack rebadging other brands. None of its own stuff.
