i think you're pushing that sub to far though. it might be the vid but it sounded to me like a little bottoming out on that low note.

Nice setup man. I'm surprised you didn't go about the install yourself, it's relatively easy, but I do lovvvve the sub enclosure. Next step: Upgrade that Panasonic HU to an 800PRS, 9887, 7200mkII, or similar and go active.
I wish I had a decent camcorder to do a showcase of my system

well i would have done the wiring and such myself but let's just say that rollin' sound of jacksonville gave me an offer i couldnt refuse since they were already building my enclosure and rear false floor for me.
i will be looking to upgrade the HU at some point in the future... also on the agenda is a quality capacitor (despite what some people say, i've witnessed it make a real difference when the bass is cranking) and a nice alarm system to protect everything haha

You're damn right man, I need to invest in an alarm system when I get the cash. Regarding the capacitor though, I'd just upgrade to a Kinetik power cell or Deka Intimidator. I've heard a lot of back and forth on whether the capacitor is really effective.
However, you're running about what? 1300-1500RMS? The stock electrical system (including battery) can easily handle up to about 1200 watts. A simple battery upgrade to one of the previously mentioned will take care of any dimming or electrical issues you have.
EDIT: Nice job on the video editing and all man! I might have to see if I can use my digicam to do it... if not I'm sure my enV could suffice

in regards to my system's total power, it's running 1600RMS; i'll have to look into those batteries
and yeah definitely use your digicam haha i have an enV as well and there's no way it'll handle it.. that editing job took me about 20 minutes; i wanted to get it done as quick as possible just to get the video uploaded. let me know if you need help with editing too!

damn i used to get dimming on about 600w lol.
matt a capacitor is basically a bandaid...it wont take care of the issue...it will just hide it. i would recommend a small secondary battery (a Kinetik HC600 is one popular option....there are many others though)
While on the electrical topic....is there anyone else who would be interested in 250A H/O alts? im gonna approach ohio generator about this and see if they can help out. i need a new alt badly.
