ok guys, I've been pondering over what to buy now since before I even got here. I've changed my mind several times, however, I think I've made my final decissions.

I'll continue using my DEH-P940MP. only I'll start using the active crossovers in the deck. Hopefully I'll upgade to an Eclipse down the road.

I'm going to go with the JL amps. A 4/450 for front stage and 1000/1 for the sub.

I've already got the focal mids and DLS tweets for the front.

And I'm really liking the Adire Brahma 12" for the sub, in a sealed enclosure.

Also, the 160 amp alternator and an alarm.

All concerns and/or comments will be greatly appreciated of course. I should be back in the states May 25. Hopefully I'll get going on the system not too long after that. I will be sure to post pics from start to finish of the entire build. I look forward to your comments on that when the time comes.

Sorry Bill ... no SPL vehicle this time around. lol

Looks like a sweet system is on the way.

nah its ok man do what you feel will suit you best! it takes a special breed of enthusiast to do spl. i mean what idiot wants to drive around and listen to one note well that would be me! lol its all good man!

Sounds like a good plan.

You just cant go wrong with the JL amps. Well except cost...

sounds like a hell of a system man!

That should sound awesome. I know William from NOLA has a brahma...and he loves it!

Yea, I like it a lot. It can reach enough SPL to make me happy, yet sound really good normally for when I just want to enjoy.

looks great!

Yes looks great!! You should love the Brahma. You should maybe look into two brahmas, 1000/1 to both of em.....ya that would sound sweet :)

Thanks guys for all the feedback.

I thought about trying to talk the girlfriend into two Brahmas on the one 1000/1. But at their price, one is going to have to do. Besides, I'm not as much into bass as I used to be. I used to roll around listening to Bass Mekanic, Lately I listen to more Van Morission than anything. Maybe some Pink Floyd or Diana Krall. I don't need a wall of speakers for that. However, from time to time I like to turn up some Swisha House just to mess with the kids. lol. And, I figured once I had the one Brahma, if I wanted more bass I could always convince the woman down the road to get a second one. :)
