Box looks great, the amp wires are driving me nuts. Can you bring them all from the passenger side, bring the RCAs behind and across the amp, and zip tie them all together?

Yea they’re driving me a bit nuts as well. Going to clean them up when I have a bit more time. Lots of trials and tribulations on the install so when I finally got everything working I said I’d just get back to it later after I tune the sub into the system a bit better.
Very deep breathes Drilled a couple small holes next to the pre existing ones from the factory (top left and right side).
Then poked a small hole into the rubber gasket under the glovebox (removed carpeting) to get through the firewall to the interior.
Not really for the faint of heart I guess.
Wait, you drilled holes into a perfectly designed, German engineered tub?!?! Did you do a FEM model to see if you have compromised the structural loads? Get permission from the mothership. I guess your warranty is void now. Car is going to blow up now :-)

Great job, definitely not of the faint of heart!
Alternative drill point is through the existing plastic plugs on both sides. Similar one at firewall to get into the main cabin.

Concern is length of ground. Manual said no more than 3 feet but folks at DIYAudio said it’s more of a recommendation and you can go longer. I grounded at the body ground so 40” is pretty tight to where it comes in and connects to amp.
Considered what Jeff did but wanted to do something fairly quick to start. If I can make the cables neater will likely leave as is so I can still use the Frunk liner.
Installed a lid liner (5 min) - install was pretty obvious.
Also installed the road triangle (5 min) - no instructions but plenty of posts on RL. I used a push pin to locate the square opening then used a box cutter to trim away the plastic felt to reveal the opening. Rest is self explanatory.
Thank you to Frank and the rest of the artisans at Exclusive Options for the covered parts. Also covered but not shown are the Fuse Panel Covers. Finally also got around to installing the Porsche Design Clock. Think I am done except for adding the wing now.
Had mirror bases painted (regret not checking that box) and got GT3 skirts also painted. Now just waiting on my R101s in brushed champagne that will be here in 2 weeks hopefully.
