This is the system I had in my car originally, two JL Audio 12W1's runnin off an E1400D amplifier.

So for now I'm runnin the 12W7 off the E1400D amplifier, but obviously thats jus temporary until I pick up the A1800.

As far as speakers go, I have a pair of XR525CXi fronts and a TMA 320.4 amp. I had the Alpine 9856 with High-Speed iPod Controls, but that was just temporary until I could figure out which double-din I wanted.

Finally got the Eclipse AVN5435 in, with the finished dash piece. Looks pretty good, will probably end up putting another coat over it one more time and sanding it to make it a little more smooth, but I think it came out pretty good in the end.

With the face open, it comes real close to the shifter but doesn't touch at all. It fit in there perfectly.

The finished product, showing the relocated heating controls and finished dash piece with double-din comfortably in.

Even before I put the 12W7 in, the 12W1's were rattling the trunk a little, so I threw in about 24 sq ft of Dynamat. I took the backseat off and dynamatted the entire rear deck. I also did some of the inside lining of the trunk, as well as the lid. I didn't take pics of most of the dynamat work but you can see the lid fully dynamatted.
