**PICS** Stereo install - Part 1
Alpine CDA-9811
JL Audio 10W3 in custom enclosure
Bostwick HCA-2100x 500X1
Sounds great for now. Had to do quite a bit of tuning though. Excellent choice for those wanting a good clean deep sound. Phase 2 will include the JL 500/5 and door speakers. Phase 3, screens!

Very nice and clean! Similar to mine (10W3 in box and JL 500/5) but your box looks bigger. When you get the 500/5 mounted, look at my pics and see if you like the way the installer did it... I like it although it isn't very showy, it looks almost OEM since he built a bottom cover for all the wiring on the amp.

Edit - although you might be keeping your 500x1 amp and that would make it totally different!

Looks very nice. Nice choice in head unit. A friend of mine has one of those and is very happy with it (I'm a little biased towards Alpine 
) What kind of screens are on the list for phase 3?

First off, thanks for the replies!
Diesel -
Actually I decided to hold off on the sound deadening. It doesn't have much of a rattle at all since I fixed the seatbelt holder. But I'm a perfectionist so it will probably get done in a few weeks. Hardly any rattle at all from the trunk on the outside since most of the bass is forced into the cabin.

Your setup looks sweet. Your box is definately smaller.
jet -
I decided yet. I may just do 2 Pioneer screens in the headrests. What do you guys suggest?

For screens, since that head unit is Ai-Net compatible, I suggest getting some Alpine screens for the head rests. They'll work together better with the head unit I believe. Are you gonna get a dash mounted DVD for the video capabilities?

I have to say that set up looks amazing. I orginally wanted to go w/ a 2 amp system w/ 2 12 w/3's and making a custom port hole though the existing 10 in sub, but I have to rethink it now. Your setup looks great, plus there is still a lot of room space. But how does the bass hit. Does it hit pretty hard, or is it very mild? Plus, has anyone been able to fit a 12 up there? Thanks

I'll probably eventually go with a dash dvd when I can afford it! 
There's not much rattling at all. I was suprised.
The bass hits pretty good. All I can say is that it hits like one 10". A lot of people are like, " that's only one 10!" For the price/performance I love the JL.
