Looks nice, a little less trunk space then I prefer but if you are gonna put in a system I guess you anticipate that. I think it's a job well done though.

Looks like a nice and clean install. I can't tell if you met your goals, though. How much did that run you, and where does the spare go?

It is a very nice looking install, I am "old school" in that I prefer carpeted installs instead of pure fiberglass even though I do both. Is the amp rack and platform MDF? Are you pleased with the sub's performance so far?
A nice touch is that with an additional panel on top you could hide the majority of the setup, the amps, and still have useable trunk space. Ditto with a carpet grill for the sub.
Good detial on the wiring distribution blocks.
This is the type of install I prefer anymore, a user car install that does not advertise itself needlessly, but still has quality and detial upon inspection.
The JBL amps are on of the best bargin's for the money these days-
Great Job and congratulations of meeting your objectives!

The plexi covers are in the works, I gave up on trying to make them, so I'm going to have someone do it for me...

The Sub is unreal.. I paid $130 US shipped to my front door, and the performance (sq to spl) is second to none.... Check out www.edesignaudio.com for more info...
