has anyone glassed a front stage in their 00+??
I just purchased an 02 SLE and am in the middle of my audio upgrade. I Have been glassing for about 5 years, but have never had a vehichle this new.. so Im reluctant to modify. If anybody has done anything similar to what I am talking about.. i.e. kickpods, door pods, pillars, etc. and can show me a couple of examples, It would a good motivator to begin modding.... I already have my front stage in place, a pair of PowerBass Xtreme 3XL 6in components. I have been considering doing a second set up front , but I would like ANY input that anybody has regarding mainly kickpanel mods.
Thanks,
Aaron

I do not know of anyone that has done any front stage modifications other than speaker swaps / compontnents in a 2000+ bonnie. I would love to see what someone could do with a little fiberglass

the more I think about it, the more I want to do kickpods... anybody know about how much kicks from a boneyard run? I dont want to f-up my stock panels... I just cant bring myself to do that yet... my caprice was another story tho.. I glassed a comp set into the doors with the tweets in the A-pillars and I glassed the rear deck to hold 6.5 coax'* ... but the caprice is a 92 so it was easier to bring myself to glass the factory panels..
and is anybody absolutely sure about the headunit size??? I know it is suppossed to be Din and 1/2, but the damn thing looks more like Din and 3/4 :? ... closer to a double DIN.. and a 2 Din dvd player would be friggin SWEEET....

Have you thought of making a Fiberglass kick panel box ?
It would sit next to the kick panels on an angle pointed directly towards you for great sound imaging.
Here is a link (Scroll down for pics)

what im sayin is that the mounting area itself is double din, but the trim bezel is smaller than double din, so in many circumstances, some modification may be required to make the bezel not interfere with operation of the unit
