Minimal audio install

Minimal audio install
so I finally got everything in for my "on-the-cheap" audio installation.
Materials:
(1) JL Audio 10W6V2 - $180 on Craigslist
(1) JL Audio 500/1 - $220 on Craigslist
(1) Zenclosure - $155 from zenclosures.com
(1) 4AWG wiring kit - $80 from Fry's
1 Lot Misc stuff - $50ish - Fry's & Home Depot
Total cost - $685
This isn't exactly a difficult or exciting install. Definitely not a quality fiberglass job with neons and the like, but my main goal was to fill out the lower end while not depleting the funds in the bank.
see pics below...
Remote Bass **** located..
Rear seat removed.. (this was a b|tch to do BTW)
Rear of car sans rear seat..
Cable daylighting..
Cable cleanliness..
Completed..
Closeup..
Special thanks to DieselDoug for tap locations on the Bose and Woofer amps as well as help with amp settings! And thanks to Jedmonds for the temporary sub box and soon-to-be dynamat for the trunk lid!
Let me know what you think.

thanks guys. i'm loving the system.
it's honestly way more bass than i'll ever use. the input sense (gain) is pretty low.
@meatshackle: my remote bass **** works perfectly. is your BASS EQ switch ON? if it's OFF, it defeats the bass ****.
i have the Low Pass set just shy of 100Hz, with the Bass EQ centered at 90Hz and a pretty wide (low value) Q (bandwidth). that allows the bass **** to affect pretty much the whole spectrum between the low pass and infrasonic frequencies. plus, with the LP that high, it really punches the snares and bass drums on rock and metal songs.
