    So, here is the pair of HD900/5:



    Difficult to tell from that picture, but one amp looks pretty decent:



    The other one though, has this:



    And this:



    Very confident that it would clean up easy enough, but the scratch/swirl marks - can barely feel it in one spot. It's more like rub marks than a scratch. Debating on whether to try and sand that mark out, vinyl wrap, or paint them. Any thoughts?
    Are you not entertained?!?!

    There sure are some cool wraps out there. You could also plasti-dip, so it can be peeled off when you sell.

    i've always thought these would look a lot better in black rather than silver, paint or wrap has my vote

    So, another afterthought. Didn't realize those subs are a bit wide - far as the mounting flange. Almost 27.25" across for both together. With only 33" of room towards the front of the spare tire well, that leaves very little wiggle room for spacing between the subs, and any sort of trim piece. On the flip side, the amps are about 21.25" wide, and would have quite a bit of room between them if set towards the rear. That is not drawn to scale but represented by Figure No.2 in the ever impressive Post-It Note drawings posted below. Figure No.1 is an interesting concept, but kinda looks crowded to me near the second sub. But, Figure No.3, by reversing the placement, amps towards the front, subs towards the rear, looks like it would balance better. However, the amp connections are on one side, controls on the opposite. Which means I can have moderate access to the controls, but all wiring is pushed towards the front should any troubleshooting be necessary, or flip flop, have access to the wiring side, but then control side is inaccessible unless the amps are removed. I'm thinking... how often do you really have to disconnect the wires. Control access, priority in this case. Cool beans.

    There's not too much that gets me pumped more than a pic of mid positioning on a dash. Looking forward to this.
