Can somebody please help with this headache of an install??

make sure you watch for the cables behind..

I'll make a trip today if I get a chance, I looked at your install, so I just stuff everything down behind the plastic? It seems like the GMOS-09 won't fit back there.

Well I mean make the wires I have slightly longer, cuz I'm sure they won't reach, they're pretty short.

Do you guys get a lot of trunk rattle? I don't like trunk rattle, and the subs are safer if I keep them faced in cuz I have stuff in my trunk. Oh and another question, what's the best Dremel bit(s) to use when cutting this gosh forsaken dash?

yeah it would be safer
my trunk barely rattles on the outside.. im really impressed.. my buddy with a mercedes C320 have the same system as mine and his rattles like shiit.. i hate it... you can barely hear my system when its blasted

as for the dash... i used a drilling bit lol as you can see in the pictures... but a good dremel bit would be the diamond wheel

Well, I used the wheel on the sides, but the drill is too big to fit to use the diamond bit for the top and bottom, unless were thinking of different bits.

Dremel 561 is the bit you need. Cuts forward and sideways.
