    Looks like quite the setup you have going on there. I have always enjoyed a high powered component set in the doors with very little rear fill in my vehicles. But, that is obviously my preference. I don't think you will be happy with the JL in the factory enclosure. I did the same thing early on and was not very pleased with it. The nice thing is that you can always try it first and if you don't like it you can build an enclosure later on. Good luck with your project it is quite interesting to me!

    Yeah, back from the body shop. Did the rust on the roof and trunk, did the S55 thing (which was done on aftermarket already smoked lens haha), installed a spoiler.

    Then I installed sylanvia zevo 5000k white leds in the tail lights as well. Here is a comparison, LED on the left, normal bulb on the right. I might cut out the plugged up holes on the bottom level and install lights in there too...

    Yay!!!! It's back! Now I get my car audio fix while you install this incredible setup! I probably won't be able to do my planned install until Spring...so I'm living vicariously my friend.

    Paint's looking good! I love the S55 tailight look, and the spoiler is one of the finest spoilers Ford ever installed...imo. Now! Let's do some stereo gear!!! ("Let's" really means you, while we spectate and cheer!)

    Two things are that I managed to get a slide out half tray for the trunk so the whole amp setup can sit on that buuuuuut it is badly bent and needs some work. The metal is so thick that i need to take it to a machine shop or something.
    Also, custom gauge pods released this: https://www.customspeakerpods.com/pr...ercury-mariner
    Wondering if I want my sail pod locations or these a-pillar locations.
    They also released some 8" stuff for the rear door. pondering which way to go for the rear now...

    Looks great, Bad Merc!
    Recently, I made a small shelf from ABS to hold the circuit breakers for the audio system and the alternator. What is funny is that this is my 2nd breaker for the alternator, the first one was too close to the engine block and since a circuit breaker is a bi-metal strip in the inside, the engine block heat would cause it to trip early as well as permanently screwing it up, dropping it from a 250 amp breaker to 70 amp. Oops.
    I put in 2 right angles to clear the hood. All holes are threaded nut rivet inserts which allows it to be secured by the coolant reservoir bolts. If I had the tools I'd round the corners to sexy it up a bit.
