The Pac works perfect. I did a quick test and hooked it up to the amp just on the floor and connected a speaker to it. It plays full range to it. Now I just have to install everything. It was kind of a pain getting the wires off the back of the radio it does not pull out all the way. But I would say get it, it works as advertised. I will post more pictures Sunday or next week. I got the PAC from Amazon

I got everything in yesterday. I just have to build the box will try and get the pictures up tonight or tomorrow night. It is not too bad taking everything a part. I still have to build the box for the subwoofer and I am going to mount the amp to it. It is a definite sound improvement to the rear

removing the rocker panels ..I think that is what they are called. They come off very hard. I am not sure if there is a better way. There are 4 tabs and also double sided tape. unfortunately I broke a tab. But no one can tell since they go back in fine. Be careful if you have the lighted ones there is a wire to be disconnected.

I will post more pictures tonight. I have some showing the deck lid. Overall it is not too bad just take your time. Hope this helps some one. I am also building my sub box tonight so I hope to have pictures in the next couple of days for that too. The pac does make a big improvement in the rear sound. Not so much bass even from the new infinity deck speakers Infinity Reference 9632cf 6x9-Inch, 300-Watt High Performance Two-Way Loudspeaker (Pair) I got an adapter to go from 6x8 to 6x9. I know that is not the best but I really like the sound from the 6x9's. I did also use baffles DEI 050380 Boom Mat 6"x9" Oval Speaker Baffle - Pack of 2. Xscorpion SP-AD6957 6" x 9" to 5" x 7" or 6" x 8" Speaker Adapter for Select Ford/Mercury/Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge Vehicles (pair)

I had to fade more to the front because of the back speakers overwhelming the fronts. I went ahead and ran a front right side speaker wire while I had that side disassembled and will get the left side at a later time. I'm not sure if I want to tackle the fronts or not. Running the wires thru the door looks to be a PITA.

Running the wires through the doors is kind of a pain, but not as bad as some other cars I've done. If you look at my build log you can see the steps I took to do it. How is the sound with that PAC module? Are you picking up any noise or anything?

The PAC works just fine. When the volume is all the way down, you can hear a little bit of electrical noise but only if you listen for it. I ran the electrical supply to the amp a little close to the RCA wires so I don't know if that could be causing it. It is so low that I'm not going to worry about it.
Never mind on the build, I found it. Did you have to drill any holes in the molex connector to pass the wires thru?

I did not drill any holes in the plug. When you pull the molex out of the boot you can separate the molex from the piece that locks the boot to the body of the car. Once you do that you can push the molex down into the car and run the wires through the boot, effectively going around the molex.
