Nice job. Did you have to do any disassembly?

I am wondering how much space would open if you take the CD charger out. I don't see my self using CDs ever. I have not use any in the last 5 years.

Its pretty easy...just remove the the compartment lid and pull the Styrofoam out. Also there is no cd in there....the unit with the bose logo is the amp

So got couple more things added.

Finally got the weather tech mat for the rear. If you get it will be rolled up. Just put it in your trunk and put something heavy on the corner for a about 15 min. I did an hour

Also SQ7 pedals came in and did they kick my but on the install. I envy the guys that did it in 10 mins. Took way long than that. But the dead pedal was a pain to get aligned to get the screw back in. The brake pedal just would not snap in easily for me...had to work the sides. The go pedal you just slip on yes but it was killing me as it would only slip on one end. I had to use a small flat head to pry the of the rubber over the edge of the pedal all the way around. But all in all I love them, even if the weathertech covers the dead pedal.

Does the sub stay secure in its spot? Any rattling or shifting?

No performance yet. Until more platforms come out with our engine and ECU then Apr probably will not do anything. I am thinking about a piggyback unit.
ABT has the tune upgrade but it cost around $4k.

The sub Is bolted in. The foam had the tire change tools and equipment in it. Which I could still strap some down. No rattling heard
