Yea, As you know (Living in NE.)the snow and salt are not making me hurry to drive so I am working on this on and off. I think the second time would be much faster. I think sound proofing and changing the speakers would be a couple of days. Not counting the foaming of the 6x9 holes. I spent some time figuring how much interior I had to rip out and whether or not to foam. Don't start a project like this if you need the car in the morning. You can buy front speaker adapters I think but make sure they seal at the door skin. You don't need to bracket the amps but I found that really simple. All the tools are available to me. I like this kind of hobby so for me it is (Most of the time.) fun. And I am thrilled with the results and will be enjoing every mile either listening to the supercharger or some great funk while in traffic.

I am now at the head unit. Me thinks I am going to scrap the factory head. Stay tuned.
