One of the pictures of the head unit is a little fuzzy, but I think it looks good just the same. The install required moving the factory radio opening down about 1/4" so that the face would open (I was quite upset the first time I installed it and it wouldn't open ) Most of the equipment came out of my old car. Anyway, take a look:

Brian,

Looks great! How does it sound? What type of speakers are you using for your front stage? Keep up the great work!

OMG!!! That is awesome doode!!!

Is that a 15? Man, did you do all this custom work yourself?

Definitely one of the best I've seen on a Contour.

That has to be one of the cleanest installs that I've ever seen. Nice job, I wish my trunk was that clean even without the old raggady box I have in there now. But hey, It was free so who am I kidding?

IIRC, it is an 18" and I believe he did the work himself. It does sound really good! Very nice install indeed. You should see how the quarter jumped on the trunk lid (with a towel on the trunk of course! )

Looks VERY nice, clean install and plenty of room left over in the trunk so it's still functional.

Looks great! Nice job. I like the use of the equipment that still provides you with pleanty of trunk space.

Any heat issues with the Orion amps when the seatback is up?

I did all the work myself. The system consists of:
Alpine 7998 head unit
Boston Acoustics Pro Series 6.5 in the front door (using stainless steel baffle )
Infinity Kappa 572.3 5x7 in the rear doors
Orion 2150SX running fronts
Orion 2250SX running sub
Alpine MRV-T407 running Infinity's
JL audio 18W6 (in about 2cu ft sealed)
Audio Control Matrix 6 channel line driver
Audio Control 24XS crossover for fronts
Plenty of Knukonceptz cable

The amps get pretty warm, but I don't drive it that much, so its not a problem.
