Headliner out, deadener in!

This is as far as I got before the plastic roller broke. Pro-tip: Use a wooden roller when applying deadener!

And just because I can't leave out the big guy... Buckle up for safety!

I ordered 50sq ft of Rat Mat. First step... Remove the interior.

This build is a labor of love. My father encouraged me to do what I love no matter what other people think of it. When I was 14 I got a ride home from a high school guy that worked for my dad and he had 2 12" pioneer subs in his Grand Am. I was hooked! I wanted everything to have bass. I am going to be 32 this year and my father has fallen ill. He is currently in the hospital with pneumonia and a pulmonary embolism. Laying there on the hospital bed he asked me what my plans were. Thinking he was giving me the life speech... I stumbled out some words about how work is going well and how I've been saving up money now that I have a car I paid for in cash with no payments. He said, "No, I meant what are your plans for your next system in your new car?" I couldn't believe it! He actually listens to what I am saying when I go on and on about audio components. TL;DR My dad is sick and wants me to continue doing what I love. On to the build. This is what I am starting with. 2004 Pontiac Vibe in Burnt Orange Nasty stock cd player that doesn't even work.

My name is Corey and I am from Lansing, Michigan. I have been installing car audio components and designing/building enclosures since I was 14 years old. I will be 32 this year. Needless to say I am hooked! I have always creeped around the forums but never really posted anything. I am in the process of doing my own car now and I figured I would post it up. Look for me in the builds section.
