I'll be finishing it off with a blue Ford Oval logo on one side and a tri bar pony in the middle, and a GT logo on the right side!

Wow, this is not my loudest system, but it sounds good.

Nice! I think I would only use one of the logos...like the GT one on the right. Too many logos would look busy.

I was debating the same thing. Then the answer is... one tri-bar-pony right in the middle!

yeah it does look awesome. Are you in the business. Did you build the box or did someone else. when I am ready to do it. I certainly would like to know how much etc. That looks quite professional.

Did it all myself. It took a couple of hours each of a couple of days. I built a box for the sub, then built a rack for the amp. On the amp rack I put a floor and side pieces and painted everything black. That way, when you put the left rear seat down, it gives you a little cubby hole to hide stuff, or place small belongings. I'll probably put a little roadside emergency kit in there. I can post a pic if anyone would like.
Then I made the front finish piece, just cut some MDF, and wrapped it in some red leather that's a close match to the paint and the leather seats. The only cost other than the equipment, was a sheet of MDF ($14) and the vinyl from Jo-Ann Fabrics ($6), so about $20. I'm happy with it, thanks for the nice compliments.

On a side note, don't be a 27 year old guy walking into Jo-Ann Fabrics on Old-Lady-Craft-Day-Sunday. Man did I feel out of place.

Is there any way you can snap a pic from the inside with the seats down?

Pic as requested w/ seat down. Also a pic showing my nice new cubby hole. I haven't bolted it down yet, but when I do, I'll most likely bracket it to the crossmember on the underside of the package tray. Ignore the wires, I'm out of wire loom and haven't hidden them yet.

Thanks for posting the pics, that helps alot. The back of the trunk has a slight incline, but the inside pics look like the bottom of the overall stand is flat. How did you tuck the entire setup into the back of the trunk with this incline?

Good question. The front panel of the box is a couple inches longer than the back and side panels. The longer front panel acts as a prop, keeping it level. All panels are level at the top and sides. Where the bottom meets the front kind of looks like an upside down L.

I've got the base stock stereo, not even the Shaker. The single disc stock unit that comes w/ a Deluxe Mustang. 4 stock speakers, that's it.

Earlier the better. I've got a wedding to go to Memorial Day weekend, and a Surprise B-Day party the weekend before. May 7-15 is best for me. I'd love to check out some other '05's. Around here the only one I get to see is in my garage!

:jedi: Haven't watched those movies for a long time. :jedi: Maybe we should meet at a movie theater? I'm hoping somewhere not far from Lauderdale. That's a haul across that alley. Don't think bad of me for having a front end loaded up w/ bugs guys.
