Good lord man... what do you do for a living?

Nice Z and the setup will look good. Can't wait to see the finished product.

The cars in the background aren't too shabby either.

Dont know if your going to get much use out of those mids in the trunk (good for shows though, seems to be the goal with a 21 inch monitor in the back). You are going to make an enclosure out of that board holding your subs right? Dont know if they will impress in a free air setup.
Props for doing it yourself though!

yeah im gonna make a sealed box for the sub but first i have to make sure i have enough volume back there for the subs to souns good, then i'll finish the box after i do some more research n run all of my wires. And yes the mids in the trunk are for the monitor b/c the monitor speakers suck.
