First stage of my stereo install is done.

Dear god....I made the glasses fall off my head! When I ran the stereo with the car off, it killed the battery in 20 seconds or so, and made the engine vibrate a LOT.

Done tonight: four JL Audio 12W3v2's and two JL Audio 500/1s. Fused Distribution block with LED status lights. XM Radio.

Soon:
DIY Trunk Shocks
Flip-Flop Trunk Lid
New box/trunk design
Fiberglass door panels with two sets of MB Quart PSD 2ways
Fiberglass dashboard (radio and hvac area)
Phoenix Gold 8 Band paragraphic in dash EQ
Phoenix Gold 4 Band parametric in dash EQ
Phoenix Gold Digital in dash voltmeter
Katzkin Leather Interior (maybe-It'll be the last thing I do, if I do it)

Painted XM antenna to match car, mounted to roof with wire hidden
More sounddeadening of the plastic panels and the trunk
Optima Redtop underhood
Optima Bluetop deep cycle marine battery on isolater in the trunk
Tein coilovers to bring the ride back to stock height since the added weight in the trunk is causing it to sag

All in all, it's gonna be a busy year for my car....I can't wait to get it all done, maybe after all that i'll actually get some rims and a lip kit...but probably not.
