Something looks out of place without Double Din radio installed. I sure like to hear the sounds that will produce.

Courtesy of my friends in college station, tx...Mobile Toys, Inc. I asked them to keep it light...use of birch and exotic materials to keep it light plus Illusion Audio Carbon drivers...very high end and light weight.
Focal Be tweeter, Illusion Audio Carbon 4, 8, and 12". Mosconi amplifiers. Dbx driverack processing.
Enjoy.

Yeah...that deck is temporary...that is a pioneer 80prs however. It has full processing capabilities and 3 pair of Burr Brown 24bit DACs. Quite nice. I tune team cars and help coordinate a North American audio competion team for Focal, Mosconi, and Illusion Audio.

the important question
does it produce the sound you're after?
install looks great, but, it's been my experience when you spend real cash on car audio there is a certain sound you're going after

I know exactly what you are saying though. A high end system must be picked by choosing speakers you like. Then you choose amps that match the drivers requirement for power. You want all the drivers to blend tonally...that takes an ear when mixing and matching. Then it comes down to a tuner. Either you if you have a good ear or the shop you trust.

I've had multiple world championship builds winning both USAC and IASCA...two different cars...Acura TL and a 87 GN. This vette is better than the Acura and as good tonally as the GN was. I love it. It has volume for days and image and stage is great! Very life like yet I set a tune up last night for jamming that I can cue up on the fly. rocks!

but amps. there are still people who claim amps are amps and receivers are receivers in HT. i'm not sure if they are tone deaf of what but the #1 reason i've held on to my old phoenix gold ZPA amps is sound. they have a completely different sound than newer gear i've heard. and, well, exotic amps like you have aren't really in the budget lol. is there anything similar those amps sound like? they look extremely well made from what i saw online

i think amps are the most overlooked portion of high end builds. everyone knows speakers are the lions share of it and one guy may love morel supremo's and the other something like you have.

I don't know if you noticed but everypanel behind the b pillar is 100% fabricated...only the roof latches went back in so the top could still be stored.
