Last point... As you can see, I did line the entire truck, from firewall to where the inside wall around the rear window, with dynamat. Well, actually, the NVX equivalent. I put all the wires under another layer of this, used like tape to both insulate it and more importantly, to hold it in place. Then the carpet was glued to this underlayment.
Front speakers are in the normal, off the shelf kick panels with the pre-formed holes for speakers. So, nothing special there. I've seen more attractive custom kick panels, and custom door panels, but I didn't want to mount speakers in the doors, as I really didn't want to deal with the speaker wires. I know, there are ways around that, but I'm basically cheap.
Lastly, the Retrosound unit is actually pretty small. Much smaller than the factory radio, and with the Vintage Air, there isn't a lot of room under dash. I also mounted the computers for the LS under the dash, so it's getting pretty busy under there. I did raise the aftermarket console 5 inches, and put the amp under it. It's open in the front and back for air flow, and I've driven it pretty hard without overheating.
Again, best of luck with whatever you do.
