Stereo Project

[VandalNation]

Hey guys, this is actually my first post here. Sorry to make it so long. I've been lurking about for a few months (since I got my 2000 X5 in early June). Anyhow, I finally got around to doing a total stereo revamp. I'm still in the process of getting it all installed, but it's finally ALL arrived from the various E-bay sites where I got most of it.

List of stuff:

Eclipse AVN-7000 head unit
JL XR series component speakers (front)
JL XR series coaxial component speakers (rear)
Alpine 4.100 amp
JL 8" W7 sub
JL 250/1 amp

The deck and speakers are installed already, I got my high end amp in the mail yesterday so I'll be getting that in this weekend.

The major part of the project though is the fiberglass box I'm building in the space on the driver's side where my CD changer and factory amp used to be (speaking of which, I have my factory head unit, amp, cd changer, and speakers for sale if anyone is interested.) This is my first experience with fiberglass, but I think all in all, it's going pretty well. I'm hoping to finish the box tomorrow, and get all my amps installed saturday... but with the way this fiberglass has gone so far, it'll probably take twice as long as I think it should. I've taken pictures throughout the process of building the box so when I finish, i'll post those up.

Do you guys have any recommendations as far as where to mount the amps? under the rear seat maybe? I'm going for the stealth look, and I'd like to keep my storage compartment on the passenger's side if possible. Could there be room next to the spare tire if I removed the plastic pieces supporting the floor of the trunk on the driver's side?

Thanks for any input! I know people are going to want to see pictures... I'll get to that once it's done and there's a final product.
