Going to be a simple/hidden design for the sub and amps in the trunk with a false floor. Using a DSP to keep the OEM HU.  I had been considering getting a single din HU and putting in the glove box or fiber glassing into where the center channel speaker is located. No real good options for putting in an aftermarket unit with how car manufacturers are integrating multiple functions into a single HU design.

Front doors and trunk will be sound deadened.  Also going to speak with the builder about the necessity to sound deaden the floor pans.

Going to be running the front components active with no rear fill.

Components being used:

Mosconi 4to6 DSP, PHD FB Pro 6.1 Component Speakers run Active with a Mosconi Gladen One 120.4, the JL 12w6v2 and JL JX 1000/1.

Got the PHD FB Pro 6.1 Components in. http://www.phd.it/welcome_to/speakers/fb61_kit.asp

Looks like there were some small design changes compared to the pics I've seen elsewhere (no logo on dust cap etc...).

Review of the components (mine don't have the aluminum housing for the tweeters).

This is what is going to be done to retain useable trunk space.

Looks sharp, as well as an efficient use of space.

Very nice. Really clean looking.  What are your plans, if any, for the surface of the spare tire well?

Not sure what you mean.  It is going to have a cover that can be placed over top that won't interfere with sub excursion.

Out of curiosity, for this type of install and others who use spare tire space for subs, is there no concern to carry a spare? Will you just rely on being towed?

Sound deadening - pretty standard.

The Performance Package SHO doesn't have a spare.  You get a little run flat kit.  But yes, you get towed.

Some updated photo's.  Should be done tomorrow.  Have been slowed by working through issues unique to the Taurus with the firewall and combined stock amp/dsp that combines numerous ford sync features.

Here are some photo's.

Very nice!  You have used the Focal BAM before?  MDF for the box?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
