First and foremost i want to thank Jeff Smith and Calvin Thomas of Audio Designs of Atlanta (www.audiodesignsofatlanta.com) Anyone in GA needs to check them out. They do BEAUTIFUL work and are really nice guys. So big props goes to them.
Now some info on the setup:
Head Unit: Alpine 9827
Front Stage: MTX TXC6.1 (dont put down MTX untill you hear these...they are the new high end line...IMHO they sound better then my Focal K2Ps did)
Front Stage Amp: Arc Audio 4050-XXK (this is bi-amped to the MTXs)
Rear Fill: Focal 165CV (off HU power)
Subs: (3) Arc Audio ARCv2 10D4
Sub Amp: Arc Audio 1500-XXK
Electrical System: Optima Yellow Top
Wiring: KnuKonceptz and IXOS
Deadening: RAAMmat, and acoustical foam
Now for the pictures :)
First are some general overview pictures:

Here is a straight on shot. The Sub box is painted a gloss black, the surrounding trim is painted to look like an aluminum finish to match my dash. The rest of the trunk (floor, panels, deck lid, etc.) was all recovered in a darker Black trunk liner:

Here is a close up one one of the amps:

Here is the other amp, you can also see the crossovers on the drivers side here where the first aid tray used to be:

Here is a close up of the Audio Designs Logo in the decklid:

Here is a close up of the Arc Audio Logo in the bridge across the subs:

As you can see here i still have SOME trunk space. Not A LOT, but enough for me. Also the spare tire is still fully accessable. I just need to pop out a few panels and its good :thumbup:

Here are the new MTX mids in the doors:

These next few pictures are of the new fiberglassed tweeter pods. The MTXs were slightly larger then stock so instead of trying to cram them behind the stock covers he just glassed them and repainted them a satin black:

Overall i am VERY VERY happy with everything. It sounds great. The MTXs are awesome, they get VERY loud and still stay clean and arent overpowered by the subs. The Arcs also hit ridiculouly clean...anyone looking for an SQL setup should DEFINATELY consider these.
So what does everyone think?
