Update on MAJOR installation setup...LOTS OF PICS!!
So I just left my buddies shop and took some pics of what we have so far... The highs and mids are in (focal k2p front and back) and a focal center channel, which was just laying around the store. The custom fiberglass sub box that we design should be ready by early next week...(the weather is to humid and its taking longer to cure) and the JL HD 4 channel amp is in, just have to wait till the JL HD mono comes in, but last we checked not till July 11 so I might go with another JL HD 4 channel to power the two 8w7 till they get in here!! Here are some pics but I'll save the rest when the car is complete

Thanks Henryk, Man we have been working hard on this and it look like it was going to be done by next Thursday but now, I added some 10.2 LCD's (which is going to be molded, like it came stock) to the back of the seats. So now its going to be about week and half

Thanks in advance

wow, your probably the only person I've seen to successfully use an aftermarket h/u in a TL. Most people use a line drop, the RF 360, or the JL CleanSweep. You'll have to let me know the tricks to that you used to make it work in the dash so I can do the same when I get my TL.

I have not decided where to mount the maps yet. I do know that I'll put them in the trunk. I'd like to mount the amps to the underside of the spare tire cover. I will explore that option, even if is means building a beefier replacement cover.
Here is a list of what I am installing:
Eclipse XA5000 50W X 4 + 300W X 1 Car Amp (Front, rear and sub)
JL Audio VR600-CSi 6-1/2" 2-way Component System (rear)
JL Audio VR525-CSi 5-1/4" 2-way Component System (front door, dash tweets)
Kicker KS350 3-1/2" 2-way Car Speakers (center)
Rockford Fosgate Punch P250.2 (for center channel with gain turned down))
