same things go for a midrange, and even front door treble

So We will star by Removing Front door panel,

1) there are for exterior screw 3 on the boot, and the 4th is on the side where a treble speaker is

2) there is also 2 larger Torx screws behild the window control, to get there just pop it

3) use a door clip removal tool, and detach the door panel

4) Omce bottom detached, pull up gently, and violla

5) Treble is a bugger,i lot of pulling involved, and 1 screw

6) Drilling out the speakers i use 1/8, and another larger drill bit, that was truly a pain the butt

Make Sure your Windows are UP not to damage the glass

Front door is ready

Now similar tactics with the rear door, although it only holds on 1 screw, and 2 big screws, it little tougher to diconnect, unlike in the front door that has a harness component connections rather than indiviadual wiring

Now waiting for speaker to arrive

TOOLS YOU WILL NEED

1) 1 Can of ACETONE if you want to reuse your brush/roller, more than once
2) Fiberglass Roller, you can get one online or in westmarine stores
3) 2 pakcets if fiberglass mat 2 sq. yards
4) 1 Gallon of Resin
5) 1 sq yard of fleece
6) staple gun
7) cheap brush
8) Gloves
9) Jig Saw, and Sander
10) mixing jug
11)carpeting
12)spray adhesive
13) optional dynamat or equivalent
14)masking tape
15)foil wrap
16)MDF

may something else i missed

1) I have removed side of the trunk carpeting with the compartment, i haven't gotten a change of document that, but it's simple remove some clips, and you will have to remove rear seats as well to get that piece out, there is a thread in FAQ of how to remove rear seats

2)Mask tape the cavity

3)To be safe i also use foil, just in case

4)I suggest to mix Resin about 4-8 oz at the time, pot life in the hot day could be less than 12 minutes, in the same time you will have first layer to work with fast

5)personally i like to work with mat, some people don't like it, but it depends on application, cuase we are laying it mostly flat mat would be a nice solution, precit mat in about 3x3 squares, or other comfortable shapes, and dip in resin, and apply, just like Papier Masche, only with the tough stuff

6) Violla first layer is done, lets repeat until you have at least 3 layes, the box might look unpenetrable, but if you want to keep your box longer, more layers doesn't hurt

7)once we have fit it inside the cavity, i precut and piece of MDF

8)we will need to bond the faceplate with the fiberglass togerther, and to accomplish that i use fleece

9)after fleece has been reinforced with more glass, and covered with Dynamat, I sprayed some adhesive, and tightened carpeting over the box

10) finished product

You can get an AM/FM tuner for your computer.

you can have xm/sitius for computer via usb, or custom too

with 200 gigs i don't think i would need all of the above, sorry but that's just me

here is how do it, the funniest thing that XM receivers are free after rebates
http://mp3car.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=41001

same concept for sirirus, on sirius receivers are $80.00

or if you don't want to mess around
http://cgi.ebay.com/XM-PCR-Sat...wItem

XM PCR although discountinued because people were recording music for free

INTERNET, you don't need sprint broadband you just need phone with USB adapter for it,

there is a loophole with sprint about unlimited data plan, so you can use your cell phone as a internet data plan provider, but bluetooth phone is the way to go. i tried with friends it woriked fabulous, i use my phone as a modem, my contract expired, but i am not renewing cause i am going to school in Canada in spring

Edit: If I were you, I would go with a 5.1 channel sound card, if you have an open PCI slot. I'm not sure what kindof on board audio your motherboard has, but I'm guessing it's 2-channel. If you use that you will have no control over the F-R fade in your system, other then your (4ch) amps gains. I also would forget about a preamp EQ, the PC will handle that well.

so it's much better than any aftermarket headunits

well windoze is a fracture of the cost it's only cost under $150.00 plus you have better audiocard, dual screen videocard allows to have 2 displays. even though you can get xp, slim hard drives aren't good is harsh automotive environments, and last you can't boot from flash drive, which allows my windozaa to wake up from hibernation with in 5 seconds, and boot with in 10-15
