OK. It's in. Done. Mostly.

Empeg is in the MINI. Blaupunkt PA-4100 4 channel amp in the rear cubby (tight fit). Infinity Kappa 695.2's in the rear. Kappa Perfect 6.1's in front (very tight fit). Fatmat plastered in various places. Only major problem is a defective component tweeter. See how the merchant handles this. :/

The only thing left to do (other than the tweeter prob) is fasten on the front grilles (they had to be cut from the door card), and replace the boot lip trim piece when I get 4 panel clips in the mail. Those things are easy to break.

The Empeg sled slides very nicely into the dash (a nice new black sled). In fact, I mounted it behind the trim plate. And used a couple of small nuts on the units dock connector screws to move the connector out to compensate for the thickness of the trim panel.

I have a bunch of digital photos, and will post with details soon.
