Default Going to start my install- What do you think?

Just as the tittle says, I am going to be starting my install this weekend. Should be getting the rest of my stuff this week in the mail as long as everything goes as scheduled. Just figured I would post up everything that is going in and get some opinions on what you guys think. Also if anyone wants to give me a heads up on any isses I may run into, dont be afraid to let me know. Here is a list of everything thats going in:

Eclipse cd 8445
HUmount w/blue led Trans Am logo
Phoenix Gold Octane R 8.0:4 (75X4 RMS)
JBL BP1200.1 (~1300 rms @ 1.5ohms)
6 1/2" Alpine Type R comps
6 1/2" Alpine Type R coax
4" Alpine Type S coax
Subthump T-top box w/Trans Am logo
2 JL 10W7's
130ft^2 of RAAMmat
Stinger wiring and rca's

Only thing I could come up with I may want to do would be put some polyfil in the enclosure since its a little on the small side. Any opinions or tips are more than welcome.

Looks like you've got things under control, The only thing I see is, Alot of people say you won't need the 4 inchers for the hatch once you put the coaxs in the sails. Maybe save yourself some $. Good luck.

This is a component set. You can see the tweeter and mid-bass driver mount in different locations(used for better imaging)





This is a co-axial. The tweeter is mounted in the center of the mid-bass driver.

one thing that you are missing is the GM battery tap (assuming you still have a side mount terminal) if you have the top, no need to worry about it.

btw, some may say you don't need it, but with big ring terminals on your power wire, you may only get a few threads on there
