Yup, simple. I used ABS plastic to get close, Rage Gold body filler to smooth it out, and sanded it to wrap ready.

Sub'd, you setup looks really good. I gotta change mine up to a more permanent oem-like setup when I get a chance. I like how the subs are hard wired. That looks hot.

Any reasoning for making the midranges that much off-axis? Also, what are your plans for the dead pedal? I've always thought about how nice it'd be to have kicks and that they couldn't be "that" hard to make, but forgot about the damn dead pedal, hood release, etc.

That is where they sounded the best. I made test pods and put velcro all over them and drove around with the speakers in different spots at different angles for weeks to see what imaged best.

The hood release I just moved to the firewall. It was pretty easy actually.

For the dead pedal I'm just going to buy another OEM one (~$12 @ dealer) and cut it to fit. That is what I did with the stocker, but got a little ambitious with the dremel

Impressive for sure. Right up there with the stuff you see on TV for audio installations.
