Yes but you do realize that you will have to remold your radio bezel to fit the Double Din. Or you could buy the bezel from C5 KIDD on this forum for about $400. Good choice on the Focal speakers I have just put those speakers into my 02 vert,well the rears I went with 130 CA1's and the fronts are the 165 KF's. What type of sub are going to put in. I would suggest a JL Audio, depending on the box, a 10" or 12" W3v3. Oh and you might as well add the iPod while your at it. I hope this helps.

I have a PDX on order. Who built the amp rack... I really like it!! What is the red stuff that is around the amps? Is there Plexiglases on top of the amps too? Do you have pics of the rest of your set up?

is there any custom stuff involved in getting the tweets there? Or do you just drill out a hole and there is enough room behind it?

What do you think of the CA 130s in the rear? I'm planning on running the 165 KPS up front in my C6. I'm considering running the CA 130s in the rear but since they are a lower level speaker (access vs. K2Power) I wonder if they would drop the sound quality to the lowest common denominator?

Yup, just open up a hole and trim a bit of material off the back of the bezel and mount your tweeter. This was all I had to do then wire it up and your ready to go.
