are those the rear corner mount for your subs?
I'm debating getting a set of those, and ditching the center 12" sub I have, to gain a little storage space back.

So just ordered the 2 din bezel (in Shale) from VetteNuts which gives you the ashtray door & cup holder door; installing a Kenwood DMX958XR and 4 cameras (F&R separate dashcams, BU and front bumper curb-cam (cutting a trimmed-out hole in license plate cover & painting the camera housing); 6.5" Focal coax in back, will do amps, subs & doors maybe later. The Kenwood's can switch in ur graphic with a usb AND controls their cameras. Just attached photos of the bezel I got today, not a perfect match but close enough.

Well some concert venues and touring sound companies will use speakers midway back(usually flown). They will use a
delay in order to kill the bounce back/echo. Since I traveled on the road with a sound company(Showco) that is what they
did. So with mine I did install rear speakers and use them. My Kenwood has a setting as to how far away you are from each
speaker. I have the fader mostly to front. I use the rear to fill the void in the rear. Probably more like a 60/40(65/35) front/rear
level. Sound is so objective and everyone has different hearing of frequencies that no one really can say what is a good sounding
set up. It really is what sounds good to you and your preferences. So go with what makes sounds good to you.

I just finished the install, the DMX-958XR is quite a beast, shallow mount, lots of stage & cross-over settings, perfect CarPlay and installed 6 cameras, 4 of which are controlled by the DMX. The front one sticking thru the license-tag cover shows me exactly where a curb is. Still fidgeting with getting the AXXESS & RAP to work right, and always modding something else. I repainted the VetteNuts 2-din (they aren't using the right paint) and it was a huge effort to get the bezel & HU aligned, had to drill and tap specific mounting holes, but turned out super.

I love that trunk lid liner. Which one is that?

Which paint did you use to redo the Vette Nuts bezel? I was going to order the Shale one, but if it comes with the wrong paint I might as well do it myself and save the $45 extra they charge.
