[QUOTE="ericnord, post: 5007802, member: 560194"] Hey everyone, With Doitor's guidance and extreme patience on my side I've decided to do a CX-7 install. I'll be posting pics along the way and need a lot of help since this is my first custom install. System as currently planned: 1. Legatia L1 in pillars powered by Alpine MVR-T420 (110x2) 2. Legatia L6 in doors powered by JL 300/4 (150x2) - don't have this amp yet so open to suggestions 3. Elemental Designs 13aV.2 powered by ED Nine.1 (1200x1) 3. Alpine CDA-9886 w/ iPod cable and AiNet run to processor 4. PXA-H100 I took advantage of my day off to start removing pieces so once my RAAMmAT BXT arrives I will be ready. I just bought one roll along w/ 3 yards of Ensolite, but not sure if that will be enough. I also have some extra Dynamat and ED that I can use as well. first pic is the exposed dash. It was pretty easy to remove. I'll use an American Int'l dash kit and wiring harness. (notice the screws on either side of the console panels up under the AC controls. These require a Z screw driver that I need to buy so that is why the console isn't out yet.
