Yeah, but the flip up seats are nice too. If i put mine down I lose all space underneath them. It would been sweet to build a two tier amp rack for under neath one part of the seat with a single sub box for the other.

My other idea was a front to back flow-through console with two 40 part seats in the back. The very back would be a sub box, then from there would be a two or three tier rack for amps, AVIC control module, etc etc, with two plexi viewing windows and a few 12v fans to keep air moving over the amps, then the front console would be storage like it is now, and flow up to the front like an expy console. Hmmm maybe someday...

yea the flip seats are nice cept ive had a 12 disc changer under the driver side one since i got it and the box i built is on the other part so.... yea it doesnt flip up haha.

Todays progress

Got a lil bit done today...added some more dynamat to the top of the back wall, and got my RCA's half way to the back. Tomorrow at work Im gonna take some measurements and see if I can move my brain for my avic and my ipod to the back wall. I think ive got enough slack if I go down the center like I did with my RCA's, but I wont know until I measure it out tomorrow. Im also going to go back and clean up the harness in the dash...it was installed by an old installer (no longer with the company) when I was still in sales. Not the worst, but far from my standards haha. Anyway, on to the few pics I snapped today...
