New sound system
Just thought I'd post a few pics of my new sound system. Sound Depot in La Mirada did the work.
Custom box housing Diamond Audio 6x9's, Aline 5-channel amp, and JL Audio shallow subwoofer box
Pic of subwoofer box mounted on top
Alpine head unit with Bluetooth
Diamond Audio component 6 inch with tweeter in the dash on top

Love the stereo. The installer gave me a remote which makes working the stereo much easier. It would have been a pain making the reach to adjust the stereo.

I have a very similar set up and it sounds fantastic! Your install looks well done
Which amp did you use? I put an Alpine PDX-V9 in mine to power everything and it made a world of difference!
Good luck with the handsfree! I thought that was going to be useful until I actually tried to use it and no one could hear me over all the other noise.

very nice setup. I'd like to see better pictures of your box though

I am surprised in the subwoofer choice. As large as that box appears, I would have expected a W6 or something but not a slim woofer. I know a W6 is pretty deep so maybe it wouldn't' fit?

I'll see what I can do as far as getting better pics of the box. The box is wedged in pretty tight so taking it out is a real pain. Basically, there are two separate boxes on the sides that house the 6x9's. The amp is mounted on the bottom base as seen in the pic. As for the insertion of the subwoofer box, it is mounted above the amp leaving some clearance between the bottom of the subwoofer box and the amp. I tried showing in the second pic how the subwoofer box is set on top.

Very true, and one of those which would you rather have decisions. My box doesn't eat much nearly as much space as the OP and in a jam I was able to get my tops in the back if I didn't recline the seats all the way. Wasn't really comfortable but did work. Now that I have a harness bar, that is out of the questions anyway.
