Default SPF Radio Install

I decided to install a radio. The car has been running flawlessly for months now and I am venturing further out. Running down the highway with no radio gets boring at times. I did not want to detract from the appearance of the dash in anyway so I mounted the radio in the trunk. The radio has a wired remote which works flawlessly and is very intuitive. The radio is also set up for Ipod so I have 4K songs at my fingertips. I built the speaker enclosure. Once again I did not want to bring attention to the speakers so i went with some cheap pioneer speakers since they have a plane grill. I have about $220 into the entire system and it sounds pretty darn good. I have little to no bass but I put some Infinities in just to test and they sounded Great. So I am going to put my plane speaker covers on the Infinities and have the best of both worlds. I ran the wires under the car and only had to drill one small hole for the speaker wires. If I brush the carpet you never even know a hole was there if I decide to remove the radio. I got the speaker box carpet at walmart and is designed for trunks, it was $8.88 for 2 yards it matches the carpet in the car PERFECT. I used contact cement to install and I could put my speaker enclosure up against anyones and it looks as good, corners are tight witn no wrinkles etc.
