From someone who used to install stereos for a living, I take pride in wiring cleanliness and attention to detail, and you sir have accomplished that. Great work.

Changed the grill cloth on the rear speaker grills. Wanted more of a two tone look. Turned out well.

Still waiting on DVD changer to get here before I can button things back up. W505 is installed and working great. NAV, Bluetooth the works. Ran both Ipod cables into the center console along with bass control **** for my sub amp. All turned out well. I can hook up my Ipod on high speed and Iphone on USB connection.

Everything all done in the back. Went ahead and put some baffles on the Morel's in the back so I don't have to worry about the sub bothering them. Crossed over at 120 and the baffles don't buzz or anything. Ready to put all the trunk liner back in.

Mic for the bluetooth on the W505 is mounted on the pillar. Works great. Going to be taking the radar detector off the mirror as I'm going to mount the Escort SRX I took out of my wrecked on Thursday Cadillac CTS-V. It looks like it's totaled.

Built a temporary enclosure for my JL 13TW5. Wanted to see how it was going to sound before I built the spare tire enclosure. Haven't fired her up yet. Volume is .75 cuft.

I wonder what the sub is gonna sound like...should sound good.

On a side note, what size speakers you think I can fit up on the rear deck withouth hacking up the metal and using a simple spacer like you did...think a 5x7 would fit? Trying to get some more mid bass in the system....a 6x9 would be awesome...

evil,

A 5 1/4 is as big as your going to get without cutting metal. My Morel's barely fit even with a one inch spacer. Cutting the sheet metal is no biggy with a nibbler though. In my old SC 400 I cut the whole decklid out and did a Dynaudio MW190 free air for the sub and Focal 6 1/2 coaxials back there. Took literally thirty minutes to cut out. Reinforced the decklid with 3/4 inch MDF, worked like a charm. This time the only reason I didn't cut was because I was going to do the sub in the spare tire well.

Awesome job. There are some shops around here that don't even wire as cleanly as you did. Very nice job. I wish you were in MA so you could wire my car up when I upgrade.

Got the sub playing. Sounds very good. Very tight, will need some hours for break in I think. All in all I think I'll keep it.
