The guys really did a great job with the trunk. The fiberglass work and carpeting maintain the look of the stock trunk while the design maximizes available cargo room.

Yeah...great to see neat set up, good ideas, might look sharp if entire center were trimed in Al.
Bring the trim to the Hazard and Climate control, it will flow into the ashtry and shifter.
But like all mods if it makes you smile its perfect.

sorry, not trying to diss it but it just looks so bare.
I'd do the swap with kennyA3, or maybe get a motorized lcd like <a href="http://www.mp3playerstore.com/stuff_you_need/special/IN-708TV.htm">this</a>.
But sweet setup you have there. Very professional.

Where are the tweeters?
Glad you like it.
The woofer looks to make the trunk hard to use. Does BA make any grille for that?
The kit might look better with a DIN pocket in it - not to make it to Toyota-y.
The UR6s is a great speaker. As I recall, the tweeters don't come close to fitting in the "A" pillar OEM locations of the A3. Where did they go?
Also, those front speakers would sound much better if you had a better sounding amp on them. The Boston amps have a rep for being much better sounding than that MTX amp. Zapco, Audison, DLS Classic even, etc.. Maybe a DLS Reference RA25?
