Stereo Set-Up Pics

Just finished installing my new stereo set-up. Tell me what you guys think.
Set-up is....
An alpine 60 watt perchannel deck.
Type-X Alpine component speakers. (Almost 700$!)
Alpine 4 incher speakers in front
Alpine V-Power Amp (Around 350-400 Rms)
Rockford Punch Sub
Box for sub was bought without checking dimension in car! (Lucky fit)

I know most of you guys would probably spend all that money (2000$)
on mods for the car, but im a music fanatic and i cant stand the sound
of distortion.

Any body else have a nice stereo in their rexxer?

I like the taped on neon ring around the headunit, haha

Not bad though, I had a sub in my 7, then I realized I didn't want the car for show, I wanted to go fast.

Hide the wiring, its worth the 5 minutes it takes. Plus invest in a security system when you have a 7 (or any car with a stereo). Otherwise you might end up being down 2 grand right away .

^ Ya true, shoulda just stayed with all alpine.
As for the light, i kind of need because my interior light doesnt work. It matched the
deck pretty good too. I'll post picks when it gets a little darker.

no it's just a blue light that is the exact same colour as the deck. Makes the deck stand out
allot better.

I have two speakers and a head unit. That's as good as it needs to be. If you want a rolling stereo, why not buy a car that lends itself to an aural pounding better than the RX-7?
