You really don't want to know... (well maybe you do-lol). I'll unleash all of that once I pick her up on Monday as I haven't gotten the final bill..hourly, etc .I had a cap but rest asure, the final product will be spectacular.

I'm heading out of town tomorrow but unfortunately won't see it anymore til completion. Here is a sneak peak of what they sent me today.

What Focal speakers are going in the doors? I am looking that their Flax 3 series.

I am using Mosconi 100.4's x2 and a 100.2 along with a 6to8 with the controller.

Also doing K40 front and rear, with lasers.

Along with a curb alert in front.

Normally I do my own mods, but this time, I don't have time.

Focal just Released their new version of their k2 power after several years of the older version. I believe to take the place of their burilium line.

The tweeter pods are made of 100% cast cell acrylic, layered together. The front trim ring is brushed aluminum to match the accents on the door. The front trim ring / grille assembly attaches to the pod with magnets for easy access. There are threaded 1/4-20 inserts mounted into the bottom of the pod for a secure mount to the door panel. Only thing that is not pictured is to wrap the rear insert in black matching leather.

The amp rack houses (3) Mosconi AS Amplifiers. It has a removable insert to gain access to all the system fuses and BCM fuses. It is finished in black alcantara suede, brushed aluminum, and matching red leather. The customer asked for some lit acrylic inserts to accent the product.

The enclosure is layered to create its shape. It houses (2) Focal Flax 8" subwoofers. It has a brushed aluminum trim ring with press grill. It sits in an Alcantara insert that attaches to the enclosure which is wrapped in matching Red Spice leather. A light shines under the arc to accent the shape. The enclosure flows into the amp rack with a "belt" break that features a 1/4 layer of brushed aluminum, 1/2 layer of red spice leather, and 1/4 layer of brushed aluminum.

2 antennas inside the rear bumper and a little something in the front brake air duct. That have to do with laser jammers?

Oh, I never noticed the antennas in other pictures, so I thought you had added them. My mistake.
By the way, looks like a very nice install.
