Update:

It has been raining for 7 days straight here so every time I take the car out it's too wet to work on it in the garage.

At least you're not fighting snow to work on your car

Ok, so it's been raining all month.

However, I did purchase about $700 worth of deadening products from Second Skin and I'll be tackling the doors and the trunk this weekend. I'll be deadening the doors, cutting the doors (to get the Revelators in), and deadening the trunk. I don't think I'll get to mounting all 4 amps unless I have some help.

I've also ordered and received solid silver speaker wire that I'll be running all the way up from the amps.

There's a lot of work to do but hopefully it'll progress pretty quickly now that a good bit is already done.

3.60 seems to introduce noise

Ok...here is a BIG ASS update:

There was a LOT more work that went on other than what is pictured. I have to "give a shout out" (yes, I know that's gay) to Jacob, Brandon, and Justin at Sundown Audio. Without them, none of this would have been accomplished. I employed Jacob's OCD skills in sound deadening to do the doors "half-assed" as he calls it. From the following pics, you'll see that his half-ass is most people's over-kill.

We had to keep the metal tape away from him or he would have gone ape shit and would probably still be deadening my doors.

Brandon did an excellent job on the door pods! They are smooth, fit perfectly, and are completely sealed. Thumbs up man!

Justin focused on the trunk portion and did a damn fine job! We tried to fit 3 Mag's but it simply wasn't working out with the diameter we ended up working with. Losing a Mag only lost 1.5 dB (theoretical), so it's no big deal.

The install isn't finished yet, but everything is neat and tidy.

Wires are all tucked away, tied down, zip tied, soldered, shrink-wrapped, etc. It was quite the day!

Now, on to the piczorz!!

First up is a picture of my deadened door in progress:

Notice the proliferous use of Second Skin deadener along with the gargantuan opening being filled with Second Skin Luxury Liner before it was to be sealed up.

Here is the door panel sealed up (AKA: the huge hole taken care of):

And now onto the door pods.

The door pods from the factory are ported. We went sealed. The factory door pods are made out of stiff HEAVY plastic, so there was no need to strengthen the back of the door pods. The front of the door pods needed to have 7" adapters made and fiberglassed onto them in order to mate the Scan Speak Revelators into position. Brandon headed up this section of the install and he did a fantastic job. Here are some pics of the progress:
