I feel in love instantly with this forum. Im about to try and find one that deals with wiring and gutting the car so i can do it myself. Im all about this type of work just didnt want to jump in a Lexus and start digging with no idea at all.

***Update***

Well, I have been working on the car but haven't posted in a while. The morel tweeters have been moved to the factory tweeter openings. I had to do a bunch of trimming on metal with the dremel to get them to fit but they did. Car is at "Lakeside Audio" right now getting the tweeters molded into the factory tweeter opening. I elected to have them do it because of materials. Should get the car back on Friday and I'll post some pics. It sounds pretty damn good right now without any tuning though.

These are some very rough pics of the tweeter pods. Very rough. You'll get the idea though.

Third pic. In this one you can see where it needs to be blended in better.

nice !

how did you attach the rear board to the 2 smaller ones that were liquid nailed to the gas tank?
(was wondering if it's a permanant or you can always slide the main board out if needed)

Once everything was working great and I knew I probably wouldn't have to take it out again I put a small dab of liquid nails on the two small boards and placed the rack on top. It stays put very well but if I needed to pull the rack the spots are small enough that it will just peel right up. Don't ask me how I know that.

Didn't want yall to think I wasn't doing anything. Tweeter pods are done and installed. They turned out well. Only option to get the Morel's in there. Dynamatted the trunk today to get ready for the fiberglass enclosure going in the spare tire well.
