No point in having great audio if you can't hear it, so the first step is to sound deaden the car. To do that, the car must first be stripped.

Seas W18NX woofers in the doors. The W18NX are 7" (not 6.5") woofers used in many high end home speaker systems.

A friend fabricated custom tweeter mounts using blank sail panels and fiberglass. He texture coated using truck bedliner spray. The tweeters are 1" Scanspeak Illuminators. These are the finest tweeters I have heard, and are up there with the Seas RT27F tweeters as some of the best tweeters ever made.

Not shown:
3/8" Volara closed cell foam was added everywhere over the damplifer and spectrum.
The amplifiers are under the seats. A Digital Designs S4 drives the tweeters and woofers and an Audison Sedici THK drives the Morel.
In the spare tire well I have layers of bonded cotton, mass loaded vinyl, and additional foam to block much of the exhaust noise.
I was using a Pioneer DEH-P800PRS headunit for most of last year and installed a Pioneer DEH-P01 (JDM version of the P99RS) in December.

Which 1" Illuminators are those? The D3004/6020-00? Or were you able to fit the depth with the D3004/6020-10?
