Alright, took a little break but ready to get back into it. Previously, I posted 1/4 trim panel removal to get at the factory sub location. Still deciding on a/m amp and sub location; I might get a used 1/4 trim panel and play around with some fabrication ideas using the spare trim panel so I still have the original undamaged.
Note: I have never done fabrication and my only experience with car audio is replacing the head unit and speakers in almost every car I've owned, but that's it.
Anyhow, here's the equipment, hoping the Morels in the back will complement the main drivers in the front if I can get the tuning right. I decided to stay with coax in the rear doors and cargo, and Crutchfield really only has one option I would consider 'premium' but affordable (somewhat) which are the Morels. Let me know what you think, if you want to talk shit that's fine, this system is for me and my ears only
I'm not here to debate or what I 'should have done' but definitely open to constructive feedback, ideas, and recommendations. Thanks all!

I haven't heard a compelling reason yet to replace the factory HU, I don't want to lose any functionality or introduce any 'quirks' to the electrical system or buttons; open to ideas if there's a good one out there that doesn't eff something up)
Thanks for reading if you made it this far!
