All finished. Turned out great IMHO. Not a ton of pics, but nothing you haven't seen before etc.. Nod to E.Tinker on the remote knob location and Derrick_B for the amp mount idea.

The results are really something, its hard to leave the car it sounds so good I'm officially now addicted to car audio! Not good.

I'm already planning EQ / processor and the iSimple ipod integration here.

The only thing I would have done differently is probably just powered the fronts and left the rears connected to stock or removed them. This would have saved some $$ as I would have only needed the LC2i and a 4ch amp. I still could double up the channels and send it all to the fronts as stated earlier, but for now I'll keep it as is. I'm happy. I may add the dynamat to the rear hatch floor, that will have to wait til spring though.

Oh, and don't let the 8" W3 deceive you, I have listened to two other vehicles with diff sub configs (10 + 12) and this setup can hold its own!

Any comments / thoughts welcomed. especially on the ipod integration and processor route.
