Nah, I'm actually looking forward to it. I've had a little break thanks to that bitch Katrina. Most of my family is here from New Orleans.

That's going to sound awsome not only for music but no road noise, I thought I did a lot on mine, and I didn't do any sound deadining, plus I ran everything with the full interior,(P.I.T.A.) though, and I built a square box, made sure everything fits though with the top inside. Good luck to you, I don't have that much patience.

This post belongs in the C5 stereo stickey 
Awesome pictures, awesome write-up 
Both could do a future C5 installer a world of help. If you would be so kind and would like to share it to others in the future, let Bogus know and I'm sure he will make it part of the C5 faq. Again, awesome

I just like the satisfaction of doing something myself so if I can't do it, it won't go on the car. Can't wait to tackle the forged motor project!!! Instead of a step by step, I figured the pics would suffice. There is enough how-tos on fiberglass for people to figure the rest out on their own. But, it always helps to have pics of the car you are working on so that is what I am doing.

Thanks! As far as the ramps, you are thinking of someone else. I know which ones you are talking about and that is an excellent idea indeed. The ramps I built are heavy enough that they don't move when I drive onto them but are a pain in the **** to move around. I like the ones with the pin better.

Cajundude,
We are living in a parrallel universe.. I have ben looking for a C-5 guy who is as sick as me and I think I found him....
I will show you a few more pic of how far I have got
Had to tape the back of so I could pull my three molds
The box will hold three JL AUDIO W6-12 and I will stiil be able to put my coupe top in the stock rack. Thats why I had to go down to get my 3.75 QB. foot of air
I just finished running the main power to the back Here is a shot of the bat. box
I'll post more when I can. Keep up the good work your install is looking fly.

WOW that is some great looking glass work, I didn't have the patience to try and get mying to lay out like that so we are waiting wright now for it to come back in black leather.
I like what you did with the plaque is that a front licence plate?
And thanks Cajundude if the glass comes out you no i'll give you guy's some pic's. he he I have a few more pic's of whats ben done so far I hope you do not mind if i post them here...
I used the guts from a bean bag to check the volume of the box so we didn't end up starving for air or have too much for that matter.
This is the big pimpel sitting on end..
Can I ask what are you guy's useing for door speaker's?
