 I don't know how the heck to post pictures on here...and frankly there are so many already it would be too time consuming...so I have made a Shutterfly page to chronicle the progress on my install. Here is the link:

To tell you where I am with this right now...I have my head unit in and playing through the stock speakers. My H has the base audio system. I have two amplifiers and a cap (no need to re-debate this topic, I got a 1-farad which I think will work well), one a 4-channel Alpine and the other a Profile Baja subwoofer amplifier that puts out 350w rms at 2 ohms. I have Blaupunkt seperates for the front, 6.5" speakers for back doors, and a pair of Alpine Type E subwoofers for the back. The speakers will be mounted in the enclosure you will see in the pictures-it will be mounted on the driver's side rear as I have two dogs that ride in the H-trizzle and I didn't want to tie up more cargo area than necessary. The amplifiers, for now, will be mounted in a rack bolted to the floor with a clear plexi cover to prevent dog feet from damaging them.
Anyway, take a look and see what you think. Tonight I basically got the first coat of resin on and reinforced a small part with fiberglass mat. Tomorrow night the rest of the shell will be matted...the following day I will start on the backside of the thing and figure out how to actually afix it to the interior panel. Hopefully by Friday I can start the "bodywork" on the enclosure and get it prepared for a finish. I am planning to coat it with a rough coating similar to what is on the panel from the factory. I think that this will a: make the bodywork easier because the chunky paint will hide MINOR imperfections, and b: it will blend in that much better.
Feel free to make any comments you think would be helpful-I'm ALWAYS looking for good input!
Thanks in advance...and follow along!!!!

The suckin' part of an H3 is that there is no room, anywhere...
