Cant go wrong with Diamond. If it were my system I wouldve gotten different components simply because of Diamond's lacking midbass, but its great stuff and it should be an awesome system nonetheless. Do you have factory components in the rear? Is this why you chose rear components? Because they arent really necessary. You couldve definitely gone with the D61000.1 instead of the 1500.1 since you are just running 1 D6 12, but thats your call.
Dont bother with the cap, itll just kill your alternator in the long run. Upgrade your battery up front and your factory grounding in the engine bay (-batt to ground, -engine to ground, +alt to +batt).
I give it a thumbs up. Will you be installing it all?

Very clean equipment, I'm not digging that prefab box tho. its way too small.
A nice 180a alternator and a 10 farad cap will solve your power woes.
It will be awesome to see how you put all of that in. I seriously think that would be hot with a false floor setup.

false floor set up with the amps. That box is a transmission line box, and it was built to the specs of the sub.
i have a better battery and a 4 gauge grounding kit already. so i should be good to go eh.
the only reason i am going to be using components in the rear is that i already had some from my wrx wagon that were in the front. i up graded those. didnt want to sell em. so i figured i would just keep em.

A better battery with stock alt is not going to be able to handle a 130+ amp draw regardless of the wire you have. Gel cell & new alt are definitely in your future.
Is that box 18 x 14 x 16? It kinda small from the pics but you know amera angles. That 1200.1 will definitely sound super clean since it will only be running at half power to the sub.

marine batteries are perfect for car audio, they offer stable current to much lower capacities than normal batteries. Ive cycled my red top twice and its already at half of its original capacity.

the 4 channel i have has a bad power supply. so i have to get a new one. so for the mean time i have a cheasy one in there. they are going to build me another box that is shorter and wider so it will fit better.
it isnt done yet, so this is a sneak peak. it looks reall fucking clean when it is all in the right spot

Thats sucks about the 4 channel...where did you buy it? I hope for your sake from an authorized retailer. And Id clean up that engine bay wiring. Hows it sound though?

How much did that cost you? That wiring looks real messy in the front, and is that an optima battery?

Great equipment. You will fry that single 12 with the D61500.1. I have one on 2 TDX 12's and love it. How did the cone get dented?

the guys at the shop did the little dent on the cone....
yea i havent had time to clean up the grounding kit yet. but i will.
i have a warrenty on the sub so if it blows i will get a brand new one, no charge.
its an oddessy battery.

You should definitely put up a fuss about the cone. Its not that difficult to repair, just grab a piece of med strength tape and lay it on hot, cool it down and pull it out. But the point is that they shouldnt do crap that like.

Huge +1 to the dent, bring it back and let them fix it so its their fault if they do anything else.

OMG, have them fix the dent. That is def thier responsibility. Good thing you got the warranty too. It always pays off for me... :)
