    Hello Everyone! First post new member, love my prius 2011 ( never thought i would say that) hehe.

    Installed Kenwood DNX 8120 Navigation system, with Alpine PDX 5
    600 watt amp. Hertz 6x9 front with tweeter in dash and 6x5 in passenger doors.

    Two 10' Kickers in back, I am making custom boxes soon to integrate seamlessly in rear hatch area.

    Its absolutely amazing!! Worth noting completely solved the poor FM reception problem as well.

    Hertz ESA 165's Tweeters

    I feel they are on par with Focals, The symbols are clear and sharp, mid-range is awesome and you can imagine the bass response. hehe

    That's sick!! Have you noticed any additional battery strain (as in if you were idling while listening to your sub for an extended amount of time, does the battery wear down quicker)? Did you hook the power to the battery, or the place under the hood. Also, where did you ground and punch through the firewall? Thanks!!
