and sorry bout the bad quality pix :(

any ways my impressions:

MD22:

with about 600w and the MD22, The bass was noticeably different. It was more crisp, more defined, snappier, cleaner, even louder than the viper 1200.1 running it at 600w. SHakes my whole freakin car more than i have ever felt when i played the beginning of Hoods Run down by lil wyte. All in all, AMAZING improvement, i have to turn the bass down.

MD41:

oaky this is where i dunno wats goin on... ithink its because im only sending 50w into my rainbows whereas i was sending 80 with my 9.2. The midbass most definitely improved. It blended with the bass MUCH more perfectly than before. The midrage was much more defined and louder (with 50w). The highs however were a little different. it sounded more laid back i guess? i dunno but i can live with it. maybe a little tweeking and things will turn out okay.

thats all :) just wanted to share

We could try to make it work. It's not like we'll be cutting wood the whole time and Jeremy could take care of the assembly of his box on his own. We're gonna be spending some time taking my car apart, so Jeremy could be using the saw then. whatever though, doesnt matter to me, up to you. Just would like to see J's amps.

Oh and about Jeff (goes to UCI, met Jeremy before), he doesnt even have his car yet so he won't be doing anything soon.
