Yarisugi, how's Hawaii? :)
That is a 1/4" of Ensolite foam over at least two layers of Stinger Roadkill Pro. The trunk lid is serious. I have three layers of Roadkill with 1/2" of foam...and the stock cover STILL fits on the lid! It looks almost quilted though... Oh, hell with it. Here's the trunk lid. Note that I forgot to take pictures of me laying down the Roadkill. I was on a roll from finishing the right side front door... This is with the stock cover off. I'm plugging the small holes in preparation for foam in the "skeleton": This is after the latex foam, roadkill, and the ensolite...and before the cover is put back on: Notice the hole on the right there? Here's the solution: It actually blends better that the picture portrays. The flash brings out the difference between CAE matting and painted metal. With the floor pan and back seat done, the shop owner has said that the car is quieter than his last AMG Merc. Not bad since it's a Toyota Yaris and it has more deadening to come. Again, this problem that is being experienced can be alleviated. That panel needs to be deadened. The factory grill needs to come off to relieve the pressure put on it from the speaker being right behind it. Unfortunately for us, the grill is part of the panel. It's an easy fix though. It just takes time, some tools, and the willingness to live with a modified door panel (vs stock). ...as for my own thread... I'll have one eventually. Lord knows I've got enough pictures. The test enclosures for the three way components, A-pillars, the kick "pods", the doors, the subwoofer enclosure, the amp rack, the custom mount for the Carrozzeria...it's all coming in April to a thread near you... That Carrozzeria piece is spectacular. It's a beautiful, all in one DIN dual 30 band EQ, four 24 bit DAC, 4 way crossover, time alignment, and CD tuner. It's sitting at the shop under glass with the three way set just waiting for me to come home. I think I'm going to cry! I miss the smell of fiberglass resin, the snip of speaker wires, the occasional cursing cause one cuts his hand, the beer after hours... ...man I miss the beer...

The "downfall" for me is that if it ever needs anything beyond basic PMCS, it'll need to go back to Japan. That's the price for buying a "grey market" piece. At least I have the contact to do so...
...and I'm STILL 7000 miles away from this piece. It's mine, and I've never even touched it... Anyone guess why I'm waiting so anxiously to get home? Wife, friends, and car audio.
