[QUOTE="SSS 18734, post: 6235665, member: 559710"] I've been working on this project on and off for a few weeks now, and I finally have enough pictures to justify starting a thread. I'll start off with my preliminary goals for this system: 1) I wanted my sound stage to be directly in the center of my dashboard. 2) I wanted utmost clarity and low distortion from my components. 3) I wanted them to get nice and loud... Cleanly. 4) I wanted a good-sounding substage that will get loud and reach down to the mid-twenties to satisfy my occasional need for ridiculously overemphasized low-end. 5) I wanted to retain seating for 4 people. Three up front (bench seat) and one in the back. 6) I wanted to do as little modification to my car as possible. So on to the pics. First thing I did was install my new head unit. I picked up an Eclipse 8445 in a trade that I used for a while, but that has been replaced with an 8455 that I literally got for FREE [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] [IMG]http://i615.photobucket.com/albums/tt233/sss18734/F-150%20Build/DSC04211.jpg[/IMG] Then I deadened my rear deck using three layers of fatmat that I had left over from two years ago.

I deadened the rear doors as well, but forgot to take pics. But who cares about those. There’s nothing going in there.
