[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8805423, member: 614752"] That's the spirit! God help you if you have any fewer than 16 switches when this is all finished. That said, Why not throw an extra battery or two in the trunk for the audio? Seems to me you want the extra weight in the arse end to get the front up anyway and it'll put to rest any worries about how much power to use. I think traditionally this sort of thing would have a rear deck full of 6x9s but that really doesn't sound good. I'm also for building up custom kickpanels for the front, you can keep the stock ones saved in case you ever need/want to go back and kickpanel is an excellent location to get good imaging. Components are almost always better quality than coaxials but there's nothing wrong with good quality coaxials, just spend up into the middle of the road or higher from a respectable brand. Don't expect much bass out of a sedan/trunk period, and apart from looks the W7 doesn't have much to offer in that sort of build. If you have that kind of money to spend, consider DC LV5 or LV6, both of which do well in small-ish box and could take a lot of power. I reckon space will be a premium in the trunk what with all the hydraulics components + battery bank so think small box and a good bit of power to try to brute-force some low end output out of the trunk. Really you should start by determining how much volume you can sacrifice for this and plan sub(s) and cone area accordingly Nothing wrong with Pioneer amps and the RF power is always solid (if a bit pricey). Haven't used poineer head unit myself in ages but they're still in running of reliable brands. Alpine, Sony, Kenwood/JVC are also good choices. Definitely building a custom mount for a tablet would be great if this was meant to be a show car, better if you carry your music around on phone/tablet anyway. My brother has an old El Dorado with some gold Daytons he has been wanting to do a proper low rider build in but there's nobody within 1000 miles that has any clue how to really do proper hydraulics. Definitely something I'd do as well if I had money to burn. [/QUOTE]
