My new headunit
Ok I finally got my new headunit in. Now all I have left is to hook up my aftermarket amp and finish building my subwoofer enclosure for my 2 15's. But I hope eveyone enjoys the pics.

Oh dont worry my car wont rattle. If you're going to do it you have to use dynomat. And I would love to have woodgrain but the cheapest price quote I got in my area to make that is $350. I would love to make one myself but I dont know where to get the woodgrain.

Smitty, I like the head unit. Can't go wrong with JVC, an excellent brand in the audio industry 
Customizing wood trim surrounding an aftermarket head unit is a difficult task, but it can be done. I know a couple members who have done it to their ES, including this one below (he owns a '98 ES):

My new headunit has a build in amp so all my speakers are running off that and my subs will be running off my aftermarket amp. I just cut the power to the factory amp.

Here's another one I found from this forum. Alpine head unit with custom surround wood trim. This guy (sk8er251cc) also owns a 2000 ES Platinum Edition.
Hmmm, now that I look at it, it seems that the color/hue of the wood trim is different for the black interior than for the tan interior. Anyone else notice that?

What method of madness did you choose to wire the eight speakers into a 4-channel radio? I had my head unit sitting in the closet for a while until I got my amp for mids+highs. My Eclipse doesnt have a built in amp....sweet. I rode around for about a week with only bass. Its funny to roll up on someone with all the windows down and they hear nothing but boom.
