| This was an ongoing project that I started back in August. I don't live at home, and rarely got home to work on it, so it took me a while to complete. I would probably still be taking my time working on it, but one of my mustang's tires managed to pick up a screw this weekend so I needed to get the Z back into driveable condition and finish the sound system so that I had a car to drive. Several things still need to be done. I'm going to make a panel to fit overtop the plexiglass to keep it from getting scratched. I'm also going to either vinyl the side of my sub box, or paint it black so that it isn't visible through the plexiglass. Then I still need to install my neons under the plexiglass and wire up the switch (I already have the wire run to the dash). Here are the pictures start to finish. The Parts:
 Headunit installed:
 The original blown speakers
 Mounting my 6.5" components to the speaker bracket:
Note the completely stealth look. The tweeters are right next to the midbass (Before you say anything, many professionals argue over placement of the tweeters next to the midbass or up top in the dash, I chose right next to the midbass).
 My door:
 Amp Rack Being Built:
Note: I kept my spare tire and jack, the headlight aiming tools are now sitting in my garage.
 There is still plenty of room for my t-tops back there :) The amps are cooled by a big 12v fan circulating air, and I haven't been pushing the system super hard yet, but it hasn't been getting very hot, if I start to push it harder and notice that it gets too warm, i'll add another fan. What do you guys think? It sounds extremly nice and I have it set up for SQ, not SPL. So the bass hits very tight and accurately. It's not meant to be super super blow you ears out loud, but 400 watts rms isn't too shabby in a small hatchback.
