I got some of the same components coming in the mail this week (head unit, Driver side stealth box and amp rack). I forgot the antenna extender though.
Guess I am going to circuit city tomorrow.
Couple of quick questions
What is that PAC unit for?
Is that the extended amp rack? If so what is the width of the JL 300/4?
Keep us posted on the install.
Thanks

Yes, it is the extended amp rack. The 300/4 is 9.25" wide. I can tell you that the 3 amps barely fit on the rack. I went back and forth on whether to get the regular amp rack or the extended and I'm glad I went with the extended.

I was worried that the amp i chose would look awkward on the rack. From the pics i think i will be fine. The amp is W-9 5/8 L-20. It should fit nicely at the bottom. That will leave me with plenty of room for the crossovers and such.
Any idea if the rack will be a pain to remove if a tail light goes out? I haven't received mine yet and i have not been able to test fit it.

The final pieces to the puzzle arrived today. After much soul searching I decided that the new Infinity Kappa's had to go as they were most certainly the weak link in my new system even though they are decent speakers. I just found them a bit bright for my tastes. Here are the replacements....4 Focal 165CV1's...
We are about 1/2 way done the sound deadening and in about 2-3 weeks the new monster system starts going in....Stay tuned.

No, work stuff kept me busy all weekend. I have 1/2 the sound deadening done. I'll get some pictures up soon.

Here are some pictures of the sound deadening install...Not 100% complete yet. About 75% complete.
This is a tedious job and so far I've worked on this for about 12 hours in total and I had a buddy helping each time. I figure it will still take another 4-6 hours to complete. At this point it looks like the car will not be 100% completed and back together before Christmas.
