My 370Z aftermarket sound system

Speakers:
Tweeters/Mid\Bass: Focal K2P in stock locations
Sub: 8" Alpine SWR- 4ohm connected in parallel in custom composite/fiberglass sub box (flush with rear hatch floor).

Signal Processor: Audison bitTen

Amp: Hertz HDP-5 (5-channel amp)

Wiring: Separate wires connected to each speaker controlled by the signal processor (i.e. active set-up). The signal processor greatly improved the sound and imaging coming from each speaker compared to the passive crossovers that came with the focal speakers.

Car is at the dealer today, so I don't have any pics. Not that it matters, it looks like a typical install and is subject to change a bit in the next few months anyway. Equipment is:

Kenwood DNX9990HD head unit
Image Dynamics XS-65 6.5" component set
MTX Thunder 5604 amplifier running in 3 channel mode
JL Audio 10w1v2d4 sub
Zenclosures 10" rear firing box
Metra Axxess interface

The amp and sub were old units I had laying around from years ago. They'll stay in for a few months until the weather turns nicer and will be swapped out for an Alpine PDX-V9 amp and JL 10w3 respectively.

Sound quality wise the ID components sound clean, but the sub is a little sloppy for my tastes, especially at higher volume levels. It's a pretty entry level sub and the amp just doesn't have enough grunt to get the job done.
