I am a full time Soldier, full time college student and just had surgery.

My plate is full. I expect to start on or about the 20th of this month but I am also retiring after 27 years of Service so there's that.
:lol:

Just ordered Sync3 APIM and screen tonight. Might as well do it all.

Let me just say, from one veteran to another, thank you for your service!

And Thank you for yours as well.

Almost there. Got a few things left to come in and two to order (small stuff).

Here is the plan.

1. Fiberglass enclosures for both sides of trunk. Carpeted to match factory.
2. Steel tube amp rack under the back deck. It will flip down to give access to the top of the amps.
3. Sync3 install with center channel replacement.
4. Door panels sound deadening with speaker install
5. Pillar install with all front to back wiring
6. FiX and TwK install
7. Final installation items
8. Tuning

It could literally take me 6-8 weeks to do it all. Starts this Friday though.

Godspeed, friend.

I've just embarked on this particular journey myself, only I'm deadening the entire goddamn car. I've currently got the entire back of the car ripped out, and the passenger seat is also in storage. Now I have to figure out how to get the center console out and the carpet up. ugh.

Good luck man. Make a thread and post up some pics!

I already did the whole back of the car when I did the AirRide install in the spare tire well.

AirRide and a stereo system... you don't do things half-way do you?

Not sure what your level of experience is with fiberglass, there are tons of how-to's on the web, but this guy is awesome;

Experience is zero. However, I watched a ton of YouTube videos and stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.


I'm a professional. :lol:

I have built a ton of boxes in my time to include the behemoth for 8 15's. I should be good.

;) It is also Stage 2 Procharged. Lol

I am trying to fit the world into this trunk and not lose too much space.

You have to make it stand out some way. Mustangs are all over Honolulu thanks to the rental car companies

I have received everything. My Masters degree class is in the way this weekend. Hope to start sometime next week possibly Tuesday.

It is Tuesday... JS! Haha I can’t wait to see pics.
I have done the Sync 3 swap and picked up a few parts but haven’t really nailed down what I’m going to do.
Best of luck, can’t wait

It has been pouring here all day.
