Looks like it turned out great. The volvo plate makes all the difference for the appearance.

Now I have to cover the headliner.
So how are you liking the headliner speakers. I was inspired to do the same thing but worry about the sound blazing into my ears. I may just do some 4" speakers instead of larger ones. Also thinking about pulling my cardboard headliner out (its got a few holes so it needs to go) and laying a fiberglass cloth over it and forming a new fiberglass headliner. This way I could securely mount speakers in it, and even build up one side so the speakers fire into the rear glass window first, eliminating the harshness of 2"above my head. What do you think?

Hey guys. I don't know who figured out the volvo plate would work but I'm glad they did. The faceplate just gives a clean look.The speakers in the headliner are working fantastic. They are not as loud as you would think. That is why I put them close to the center of the roof so they wouldn't be right on top of me. I haven't had a single problem with them. The 6x9s in the door give the base and the 6.5s handle the rest. I wish I had the answers for the stock market, then I wouldn't still have to look for a job. This job market sucks.
