Just finished installing the Infinity Reference 6"x9" rear speakers and Pioneer subwoofer and the two Kicker amps. Front speakers are Infinity Reference 3.5" that are mounted in the stock dash area. A new Pioneer head unit also installed with a new Optima battery. Lots of grounding to deter engine whine. Here are a few pics of the install. More info. and pics coming soon.

I bought them from member Bigbock73. CNC cut and perfect bends. And perfect fit in the cab corners.

This isn't a super custom install by any means but it's something that could easily be done in any vehicle. I wanted a new head unit in my 91 vw gti with cd player & usb hook up for my i-pod but didn't want the usb connector on the face of the unit because I didn't like the idea of having cord's hanging down from my dash. I got a fairly nice & inexpensive alpine unit that had a usb cord adapter on the back of it than I went down to norvac(a computer parts store) & got a 6" usb adapter cord for a pc hard drive that has 2 screw flanges on it for screwing it to the hard drive frame. I removed the glove box insert from my car & found an out of the way place to cut a rectangle hole for the male usb cord, drilled 2 small holes on each side of the rectangle hole & screwd the usb adapter to the top back side of the glove box insert. Now I can plug my i-pod into the glove box & keep it out of sight. By the way, the alpine unit I have controls the i-pod so I don't have to change songs on the i-pod itself. It's done from the head unit:
