Well, I got the stuff and currently am installing my stereo. The head unit wasn't as bad as I expeted or heard. I will fabricate a black plastic cubby hole to fill the space below the head unit. It's a Blaupunkt.

Then I got the amp installed. U.S. Acoustics 85x4 amp. That thing is big. I am mounting it behind the drivers seat. Is there anything behind it that I should worry about when drilling through the body? Also, if I take off the nut to the seat, and put the ground wire to that nut, would I be okay, or would I need to remove the capeting? I was hoping that I could just ground it with the bolt, and not the frame.

Then I installed the CD changer. 10 disk Blaupunkt. I am in the process of mounting it. Can I drill into the passenger side wheelwheel right underneath the speaker enclosures? Is there anything I need to worry about?

I also got the back speakers in. JL Audio 6.5" subs. Fit perfectly, with about 1/8" clearance between the magnets and fender. Sounds great so far.

The fronts are coming in soon. They are DEI Viper 550.2 comps. I know I will neeed to drill out the enclosure. I was thinking of mounting the tweeters next to the bulge in the carpeting right next to them, but atleast in the open. Anyone try that? Either that or I will put then right next to the speakers and flush mount them, and set the tweet at +6dB to compesate for it being behind the capeting. But the biggest concern is where to mount the crossovers. Any ideas? I was thinking of running them from behnd the passenger seat, like I am mounting the amp. But I keep thinking that's alot of wire running around. An ideas on where I can mount them? I don't care if they are exposed.

Also, how deep can I go with the door sill speakers? I though I'd have more than what I'm seeing.
