Measuring out the pieces:

In progress:

Next up is to remove the factory components.

Factory Bose subwoofer and amp/The future home of custom sub box:

Audi Nav drive and Phatbox will be removed as well:

...very hard on the back.

In addition was another hour we lost not having the right tool in getting the frozen bolts out for the rear seatbacks.

$$ factor is ~$4 per square foot, and there's ~36 square feet there.

...and the rear seats folded down. I heard every tiny pebble kicking up inside the wheel well, and under the car.

I repeated the process after the install...definitely worth the time, and I'm not done yet.
