car looks sweet man loving the colour with those rims :) boot intstall looks great 2 good 2 see ur putting the effort in the finer details. do u have any air circulation/vents 4 the amps wen they r covered over? great idea tho

Yeh, there's about a 8mm gap between the amps and the cover panels. Plus it's all open underneath the false floor. PDX amps don't have overheating issues like other amps as well.

Not much has been happening on the update front lately. I'm being raped for time with work and a major home Reno at the moment. Planning a new front stage for the audio though. I've narrowed it down to either the Focal utopia Be two way set or the focal KRX3 three way set. Still a little un decided at the moment so stay tuned.

You seem to be a bit of an SQ'r showbags. How was your stage hieght when you had the Tweeters in the sail panel? I am looking at putting mine there myself (2way passive system for now as thats all the budget allows for) but I have also been told my stage hieght will be low there and would sound much better on the a-pillars about half way up the screen.

Stage height is fine in the sails. You just need to play around with the angles a little until you find the sweet spot you like. I'm also using time alignment through the processor.

Just a small update. Got around to installing my RUX controller for the PXA-H800 processor. I wanted it to be hidden, yet easily accessible. So I decided on modifying the pocket under the head unit. I had to move the bottom of the door forward to fit it in, and now has a magnetic latch to hold it closed. Now with the contoller, it allows me to make adjustments without having to plug in my laptop.
