Sony Discman (who needs a radio?) (Wal-mart)
Audiovox 4-channel amp (60w/ch) (Costco)
Radio Shack plastic box speakers (swap meet)
JL 10W1 in sealed box (Cash Converters)
Alphasonik electronic crossover (yard sale)
Vampire fuse (Pro-car Audio)
I used the heater fan switch to turn it on. Hey, I was in a hurry, and the truck is a long way from being finished, and at least it's loud enough to hear over the engine and transmission and wind and road noise.
Worst problem is the 10W1 bottoms out if the volume is up too high, which means a loud unpleasant popping sound.
Future:
pair of 10's or 12's in 4 to 5 cubic feet, driven by one or two Targa 2CH500's. MP3 computer hidden inside '70s 8-track deck. two-way 6.5" or 6x9 in the doors.

The CDT tweeters are nice and mellow, just how I like them. (It's the CL-61 set, without the satnet crossovers, btw.) I couldn't ask for more, especially from a $300 component set. Actually, though adding the Quart crossovers did give them a bit more full bodied sound with considerably warmer midbass than the CDT networks did.
As for the Dyn's; they are the best sounding midbass drivers I've ever owned hands down, but honestly they're not worth the money. I think I would have been just as happy with Focal Polykevlars, Diamond Hex's, or something along those lines.
