[QUOTE="TurboTommy, post: 1881126, member: 65233"] First off thank you to the other folks that have posted their own projects and the vendors such as Sounds Good Stereo, Soundsskins, and Nav TV. I watched countless videos and set a budget(which doubled) and then began ordering my equipment. My first suggestion is to spend the money on the quality prefab products out there like the block-off plates, custom speaker adaptors(vs the free Crutchfield specials), AMP rack, and pre-cut Sound Skins. You will get a better result and save time and aggravation. My goal was to keep everything looking stock where possible and no cuts of any kind for the factory wiring. Everything I did is reversible. I enlisted the help of my cousin who does high-end home theatre and we borrowed a buddy's shop and spent 12 hours this past Saturday and another 10 hours on Sunday. I am very happy with the way it came out. The Focal K2's offer clear highs and the JL stealth box pounds for a single 10-inch sub(I was ok removing the storage box below the seat). When it came to tuning the JL VX800's DSP the software is pretty good although to get the most out of it a pro tune would be best. For now, we used an ARC mic along with my MacBook pro. We set the limits relatively low for now so I can break the drivers in. Feel free to ask away with any questions if you are embarking on your own stereo build.
