I've been around Car Audio a very long time. Did many installs on my vehicles and I can say that this is a quality install.

Where are the amp(s) going?
Thanks! Amps are mounted in the factory foam insert in the spare tire well

Did you have them just install that decoupling foam, or did you do full sound dampening? That system is beautiful. I've been wanting to do a full system+sound dampening on this car, but work and my house have had other plans for my time and money lol.
Ita not

Its not a full deadening, just on acoustically important and particularly noisy areas (as well as for decoupling). Front and rear doors sealed and deadened, rear floor deadened, spare tire well and behind the subs on the 1/4s deadened/decoupled. The vehicle is very quiet now and the SoundSkin used was very light and a mixture of deadening materials.

Want this so damn bad, and you said you paid only roughly $3k for this install? I might just drive my ass down there and let em go to town.

Ehhh it came out to more than 3k. Forgot I was originally going to supply my own amps and only asked for 1 enclosure. 2 enclosures and 2 amps later I was looking at around 4.8

That seems like a much more reasonable number lol. One day this car will be my dd and when that happens I’m following your lead for sure!

Thanks guys. Sounds great. Not better than my klispch 5.1 system at home, different and equally as good. Definitely bassier, still a few rattles I need to sort out. Will probably end up deadening the hatch as well as the plastics are temperamental.

Those rattles will drive you nuts for sure. Just plan for some performance upgrades to offset the added weight of the deadener you need.
