>Well everyone knows that you have to put the sub in the passenger footwell.
Actually, I was thinking about rebuilding the center-speaker with a custom fiberglass enclosure to house a single low-Q 8" sub, and keep it totally stock looking. That would free-up the sub-area in the passenger footwell for an amp.
>PS2 in an enclosure underneath the glove box,
very nice.
>and put the amps in the trunk, with custom vinyl.
I wouldn't choose to put amps in the trunk, if I could avoid it. Certainly not in the toolkit area, because of heat, but possibly on the left or right sides if it looked good. Lots of wires to run thru the firewall, though.
>I am putting 2 4" tv's in the visors,
cute!
>using a custom dash
Yeah, once you build out a custom dash, you can get more regular equipment in there.
>it just takes time to plan it out.
I probably didn't speak clearly enough about *my* design goals for a stereo:
*) Completely stealth install.
*) Completely reversable, no cuts or screws.
*) Audio only.
*) Very good, but not excellent, sound quality.
*) Sound quality only, no need to boom.
*) Retain stock dash, headunit, changer, and controls.
So, with those design goals, I've been trying to figure out how to do an amp, sub, and fronts to pull it together. I've measured out the cabin, and there's just not enough space to minimize path length differences to get great sound, so I'm just gonna stick with "good" sound and put speakers in the stock location.
I'll have to research what good 1/3 octave stereo EQs are these days. I had EQTs in my competition Civic, that really made things come together. I was thinking about building passive EQs into the speaker setup, but could only do that if there were some peaks to pull down....
But, you're right, if you're willing to go custom, lose to trunk space, and cut some things up, you can go nutso!
