@ Shane Fontane: Whoa, you must have spent a fortune on gear. Cant say i'm not jealous though...How are you liking that Omega 8?

@ Upright: Your level of cleanliness and organization amazes me. Do you always keep your setup looking that good, or did you just tidy up before you took that picture, lol. I can never keep my setup neat for more than a week before it turns to clutter :(

Basic set-up, 1200s/TTM-56, 2500. Usually it's more orderly. ;)

There's actually hardly any space behind the decks as more stuff is leaning against them on the inside, the photos don't do it justice.

The box on top of the frame is actually a carpeted speaker cabinet, repurposed. Worked out quite well. There are spaces in the bottom for two 15" subs.
