Dennis is the man to talk to. One of the best business owners I've had the pleasure to meet, so to speak. He'll make sure you're taken care of.

Here's my audio installation thread from a while back. I believe I sourced my speaker adapter plates from the company I bought the sub and front speakers from.

Patches thats a damn clean install! I cant remember but did you wrao the bezel yourself? What are your thoughts on the Edesigns components and sub? What sound deading is that? Overall thoughts after the sound deadening?

I like the Edesigns components - great quality for a good price and the service is top notch.
Sound insulation is eDead sound deadener and Ensolite closed-cell foam from RAAMaudio (besides the Madvette kit I had already installed). I think at least one layer of the dedicated audio sound deadening material is a must in a C5 installation. What I added to the wife's car really helped the interior noise level.

After that, I did a full Audio Upgrade with a DDin Bezel from Dennis(c5bearsfan), Kenwood DNX-8120, and ARC Mini Amps, Image Dynamics Components, JBL MS-S Sound Processor, JL StealthBox 10" and sound deadening all purchased from Rick at RAAMaudio. Both are great vendors.
