for the speaker pods, it took some work. the stock speaker location was in the dash - 4" speakers. i thought about kicks, but there wasnt enough room, so i cut a hole in the door panel and the metal of the door. i then had 1.25" of mounting depth before the window mechanism. so i cut a couple of 5/8" pieces of fiber board and glued them together with gorilla glue, giving me another 1.25" of mounting depth. I covered them in speaker grill cloth and bolted them to the doors. i ran the wires through the existing holes where the power window wires ran (took some squeezing) and mounted the crossovers in the dash where the stock 4" speakers were. i also covered the speaker grill in the same cloth to match.

Here's the Alpine CDA-9827. nothing fancy, but great sound

Still got a lot of work to do in the back. I'm building storage boxes on the side that will blend in to the sub box in the middle, which will have an amp rack that will fold up and lock away the amp and sub for security when i have the top off of the 4Runner in the summer.
You can see the carpet padding installed. I put eDead all over the inside of the truck, except the ceiling, and i put two layers up front and in the doors. I then used 3M spray adhesive to put the carpet padding on the sides, floor, and inner firewall.

Here you can see the memphis amp in stealth mode, hiding under some speaker grill cloth until i can build the amp rack.

Here's a shot of the memphis out of stealth mode :)
