Well I did about 5 min of work yesterday. I had a piece carpeted from when I installed my old Phoenix Ti500.4 that was used for the cover..
Anyway it will work for a front mount for the Storage boxes but it shifts the storage box back about 3/4"
I have to spend some time looking at it closer and detemine if I will use it with the bin pushed back or redo a front piece to mount the storage boxes in the OEM location just flush with the back 1/2.
I am also giving some serious thought it a plexi cover for the amps.. maybe tomorrow I will get some time to get a few more pieces installed..

Thanks.. I have a small bit more done but I got side tracked with my new seats.. LOL I have been working on getting those together and now I need to get leather for them..
Anyway, I might get a chance to do a bit more this weekend..
I am thinking at least getting the power, ground and remote wires connected and get the amps gains set.

More completed
Today I ditched the crappy sound deadener from the Storage lids, replaced with 2 layers of V4.
I got both amps power run and speaker wire run, Although the subs are not connected as I need to set the gains
Now any ideas how to recarpet the sides like shown with out using pre-molded carpet?

More updates
Mounted the CDT Crossovers. The Remote turn on lead is not wired permanently yet though
then remounted the Storage Bins.
Now I need to finish the top cover and carpet everything, then I can move to installing the CDT Speakers (Currently I am using the old Bostons which are still installed)

Getting closer..
I have to say it is funny how I have black carpet and int he picture there are 3 shades but without the flash you cannot tell the difference.
I need to order a bit more for the amp cover. I also Have an emblem on the way too.. the cover will be very cool
At this point I can move tot he door and the front to get them apart and finished
