I listened to Juve's setup, then got a kit from his installer (I'm 2000 miles away); he supplied all the adpaters and accoutrements. Although I've never done audio before, it went in well and gives all the great imaging and clarity that Juve wrote about in the first post in this thread.

Speaker placement should be the same, the only difference may be the Sub enclosure and placement. The Kicker Sub has a specific enclosure and I'm not sure if the new BA system has the identical enclosure. Probably not but I have to believe that the doors, fronts and rear tray are what they are. They're not going to change tooling for just speakers. 6x9 in the doors, 5 1/4 in the rear tray and your 4" drivers up front. Don't know if you have a center but you can easily find out.
Sting-
Yes, the speakers were plug-and-play. Where adapters were needed because of a difference in mounting points, they were included.
To create the sound stage, he supplied two extra 2" speakers that need to mount in the kick panels beside the front footwells. You need to cut 1 5/8" mounting holes in the panels (I bought new kickpanels in case I need to return to stock for selling the car.) Those 2 speakers wire to existing points.
I already had SRT Option Group II so the sub, amp, and enclosure were in place in the trunk.

I like the end results & it's a huge improvement over stock.:bigthumb:
The only labor that was included was $1000 to Cartunes for building the fiberglass enclosures, the rest is my time. Well worth it to keep my trunk space. I'll be driving it down to Cape Coral in a couple of months for 2 weeks & I'll need it for sure.
+ cabeling, wiring, fuses & fuse blocks, 12 volt distribution block, Audio signal convertor, speaker conversion plates, brackets, external storage drive, lockpick & extra Gel cell 12 volt Battery. That's about it. Oh I did add $790.00 for the factory 730n meadia center.
Stupid question.. Why the 730n? Did you have a 430n?
The reason I ask is the only difference to my knowledge is one is Garmin the other is Magellan and I personally don't care for Magellan's GPS units. Was there another reason?

That was the media center option I added when I ordered the car. The 430 was standard. And yes you got it, I own a couple Garmin & I got used to the interface & format.
