No problem! How do you like the system? Personally, it's absolutely perfect for the Z. Any louder, and I would need to start bringing some ear plugs around, haha.

Thanks. Trust me, the box is absolutely gorgeous and absolutely well built. The craftmanship is top notch! And yeah, I apologise about the pictures - 5MP cellphone camera isn't terribly good.

Just a thought though...is it safe to mount your amp upside down the way you have? I'm thinking about it from a heat dissipation standpoint. I have no experience with Power Acoustik amps but aren't those heatsinks/vents along the edges on the top of the amp?
I thought for a while about the upside down mounting of an amplifier, and decided to proceed with it. When this amp was pushing 1k RMS for two of my JLW3v3's, it still produced little to no heat. After a loud music session, I tested the temperature of the amp by hand, and it was no more than the room temperature of the car. I'm not worried too much about heat buildup or anything.

Vibration was another issue I was considering, but again, I figured since it survived my 2 subwoofers for 3 years of installed thumping, one sub wouldn't harm it anymore. Knock on MDF.
