I will plan on updating this thread going forward with pictures of the install..

here is what I have finished so far.. LOL


More pictures HERE

The back wall was the old piece that had my dual Orion HCCAs on it.. I will either remove the carpet if I can and re cover it, or build a new plate.

Getting there slowly..

Still debating on the 3-way vs 2-way for the front stage.. I could do either, we will see when I get that far

So my CDT EF-61 were delayed ( I got the ematl the day after I bought them) anyway I emailed the place today to check status as they said they would ship today. Well they never got more B stock sets in so I am getting the A stock set!!

Now I might upgrade to the Satnet 560 xovers and just run a 2-way system.. not completely sure yet although I still might run the 3-way..

Nothing planned for the middle exactly, it was more if i ever wanted to swap the NINe.2 for another NINe.2x or NINe.1. Length wise will be very tight.. the NINe.2 is 12in long and the NINe.2x is 14.75in the width of the back area is 32in. so even 27in of amps is tight (plus room for cables and such. I also felt accessing the Gains and control might be a bit harder. the way they are installed will allow for easier access to the gains and RCAs if needed as that end will not be boxed off underneath.

It is also different from the ordinary

Technically the second part since you are using the eDi6500s from your truck

Default eDead V4.. NICE stuff

So, I put some of the eDead V4 in today, got most the cargo area. (Pictures will follow).. I went out in the garage tonight to reinstall my cargo shade/cover, got that done and then I decided to try the V4, well I have one layer in the car, it is installed over the Raamat I had installed 2 years ago. I am thinking that the one layer of the V4 will replace the OEM green yarn looking stuff. Talking with Chris at eD he said the V4 is probably much better then the OEM stuff even at 1/2 the thickness.

Besides that I will have my amp rack over most of it and the carpet seems to fit a bit better.

I also got my 2nd NINe.2x today too..

Hoping to get the rest of the amp rack done this week (with exception of the top).. Still need to figure out what to do for the top.

I am also hoping to get the Storage compartments mounted as well. then I can slowly move to the front of the car.
