[QUOTE="The_Quiet_One, post: 8523760, member: 614562"] First off this is likely going to be a slow build. I'm making this build log to hopefully keep me honest and try to get everything in before winter. But here is a taste of things to come.

[B]H/U [/B]- Stock [B]Front Stage [/B] Stereo Integrity TM65 mkII ScanSpeack D3004 (tentative) The front stage is currently up in the air.

I don't know about midrange as I prefer a factory look and I'm unsure if I will be able to make midrange pod that looks half decent.
