As the weather is glum I thought I would focus on the inside of the car for now - hope you like

I had previously bought Hurdy's beautiful custom made sub box and amp when he sold his car and decided to fit that and upgrade the rest of the speakers too

Here's the thread to show how the sub box was made and the effort and care that Hurdy took to build it

I also upgraded the front door speakers from the crappy 2-way to some tasty Hertz 3 way ones.

The car was fully Dynamatted and the sound is stunning compared to before.
I ran like this for a few weeks and then decided to 'lift' the sound staging by fitting a Rainbow centre channel speaker by modifying the front centre air vent:

The car has 12 speakers and I now have Dolby 5.1 surround!
The Kenwood unit is a beauty and has full ipod/iphone integration, bluetooth, Garmin SatNav and also shows the video from my reversing camera

I'm happy with the interior now

Performance-wise it goes pretty well too - here's my graphs from the Surrey RR:

For the exterior I'm getting some coilies from big Al in April then need to stop dreaming about 19s
