Well, near me actually. In my garage, in fact. Finally decided to do something serious about the sound system in my Exige. Basically the components are:

1) Alpine 9820 Head Unit (Standard with my Exige)
2) Focal 100CV1's in front, Focal 130CV1's in back (been in for a while now)
3) Alpine PDX 4.150 Power Amp (4 x 150W/channel)
4) JL Audio Stealthbox

A few details: the front and back speakers have been rewired and are now in parallel driven by channels 1 & 2 of the PDX 4.150 (150W for each front/back pair), the Stealthbox is being driven by channels 3 & 4 bridged to 300W.

The install's not quite complete but since the head unit's back in, the four Focals are rewired, reinstalled and hooked up to the amp, and the Stealthbox is sitting on the sill wired to the amp as well, I fired it up. I think I'm going to be happy. I still have to some wire routing to do (hard part done: wires are out of the dash and on their way to the center tunnel.

I figured out a way to run power to the amp by going through (without damaging) the grommets in the boot and firewall. Wire looms for all cabling... no bare wires. It's been a long day though, so tomorrow I'll finish, post pics, and go for a drive
