Default Boston Pro60 speakers installed - pics!

After the frustration of my AVIC + bad sound I picked up some Boston Pro60 speakers today. The installation was fun and not too difficult with some tools, wood, paint and of course taking my time It is a tight fit, though!

For today I'm done, the amp will be completed tomorrow - can't wait for the sound!

Looks sweet! Are you also planning on replacing the rear speakers? Where are planning to mount the amp. Show more pics - can't wait to hear how they sound!

The amp is mounted in the rear compartment. Thanks to the help of Steve I finished earlier than expected and now have awesome sound! No plan to add rear speakers of a sub yet, however, I already prepared the wiring for that upgrade

Ignore the fingerprints on the radio

You need to buid in your Sirus Radio with the radio. It looks stupid with that siri sticking out like that. Buy the siri box that ties into your HU. Get rid of that stupid thing
