I told the guys at Prestige Audio what I wanted, handed them a role of carpet, and they went away and turned my crappy sketches into a perfect real life version. It was *such* a relief when I saw what they'd done to the boot! It was *exactly* like my picture : )

The undercar wiring was all done by my MG specialist. My panels are all just leather board panels screwed into metal - no poppers or any of that, so to avoid lumpy panels or carpets we ran all the system wiring under the car and sheathed it in exhaust wrap to keep it safe. I did all of the Dynamat!

My tweters are currently up at the corners of the dash on Velcro. The installers recommended putting them down with the mids in the kick panels, but I just tried them on the dash one time just to see and the soundstage just grew so incedibly that I think I'm going to keep them there. It sounds a little sharp on some songs, but I probably just need to lower the tweeter frequency a little to take the edge off. My dash is tiny - like 4 inches from the screen - so you don't get that extra room to play around with angles like you do in modern cars. I think a major advantage though is that the dash is pretty much symetrical on either side (I've heard of SQ pros rebuilding their dashes to be symetrical - not sure why!).

On the motorway it is just as good as at 30mph. The Mac amp provides so much power that I can just turn it up and lose no sound quality. Obviously it sounds better with the roof up, because it's contained, but even with the roof down you can hear every element of the music. The biggest difference happens if the windows are up or down, as I think the sound benefits from bouncing off the windows.
