I have a question about the CD player kit that you have (he has). I'm wondering what company it is. I got the metra kit, and although the top bar where the top screws for the kit goes in is broken, it didn't end up looking like that. If it is the metra kit then maybe a previous owner has 'modified' the stereo surround. I hope that's not the case.

sweet job on the airbox, the matching paint is a nice touch. does your amp stay cool enough behind the seat there?

I am thinking of getting a similar setup. I was thinking of either making a casing for the subs or putting them in the compartments. How do you find the sound coming from there? Would you recommend me making a casing and putting them more near the rear or doing the same type of thing that you did?

Also, as the other guy said, do you find the amps getting too hot?

Thanks in advance!
