02 Formula stereo... mostly done (pics) **Updated pic in post #12**
I got this work done over the summer, but I'm finally getting around to posting up some pictures. I can't get over how good this system sounds with just the stock speakers and Monsoon amp. Eventually I'll replace those, but for now, I'm loving this.
System is:
Premiere DEH-P690UB head unit w/ custom-ish mounting bracket
Full iPod integration
PAC SWI-X to maintain full steering wheel controls
JL 8W3v3-4 8" subwoofer
Alpine MRP-F240 amplifier powering the sub
Even with just the one 8" sub, this system has nice, deep, clean bass. I didn't want to rattle the car apart or wake the neighborhood... I just wanted to rock hard
I would also like to throw out an unsolicited plug for Kee Audio, who fabbed up the stealth box for my 8" sub since nobody out there mass-markets one. Absolutely high-quality work for a fair price. I haven't had any issues at all with this.

It's just one of those little things I've been intending to do but haven't quite gotten around to yet. I'm going to by Dynamatting my interior at some point soon, so I figure I'll do it then.

"02 Formula stereo... mostly done (pics)"
he might have meant this by that.
on an off note where the amp is mounted looks much lower than my 98 t/a's..... i think mine is only an inch and a half shorter than the rear seats.

I LOVE the mounting bracket. Did you make it? Does it have light behind it to illuminate "Firebird"?
Or did someone make it for you and where can I get one! I would love to have one for my SS Camaro! Something other than a Scosche (pardon spelling) mounting kit.

Verdad Gallardo You have PM. It's from a non-sponsor, but yes, it is lit from behind.
I finally had a nice day, so I took everyone's advice and hid the wires under the carpet. I think it looks much cleaner now. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic but my wife had the good camera today.
