Ahh, I see what you mean now!
That's just a bit of decoration, JL Audio metal 'badge' as the sub is JL Audio
and the Pioneer metal 'badge' as the amps, head unit and CD changer are all Pioneer.

The standard speakers in the front are 5 1/4'' and the Focal KR2's are 165mm
so I had to make a spacer/adaptor ring for the front doors.
I made these from hardwood and gave them 4 coats of yacht varnish to weather proof them as the inside of the door cavity can be quite damp.
I also used hardwood as it'd very dense and would help improve sound quality by reducing vibration. Dynamat was also used to dampen down door panel vibrations.
See pics.

Unfortunately, I didn't take many pictures of the amp tray construction.
Basically, it's a shallow box holding the three amps and the fuse box.
The top is carpet covered and the windows are actually windows in the carpet covered lid with perspex in them to display the amps.
I wired strips of LED's to illuminate the amps automatically (from inside the box) when the boot (trunk) was opened.
Here are some pictures of the lid, you can see where I used a router to allow fitment of the perspex 'windows', the perspex was 3mm thick.
I've also added another picture to give you a closer view of the amps through
the 'window'.
