EDIT: Pictures and component list.
I had bought this system way way back before my swap project started coming together. Now that it I've had a chance to drive the Exige around for a bit, it has become clear to me that this car will not work with an audio system. It's just a bit too hardcore now. Perhaps someone with a less extreme example of an Elige will find this to be a better fit.
On to the system.
It's Chuck's last iteration of his system (before switching to the Hertz subwoofer and new head unit) which has awesome JL sub and Pioneer head unit. The head unit is a mint condition USED head unit, which Chuck offered to me at a discount (usually it is $400, he passed it to me for $100). The kit *does* have the new updated Pioneer amp, which is nice. Please note, that the amp will not come with a bracket. I had decided at the time to velcro mound it to the boot floor. If you want the bracket, I'm sure Chuck will be more than happy to make one for you. Everything is still in its box that Chuck shipped them to me in. I did take the subwoofer enclosure out to see the paint job --- it's paint-matched to my Exige's Aspen White. The subwoofer surround ring is also paint matched. As many of you may already know, Chuck does good paint work and this set is no different.
Chuck has put together a great package here. I'm sad that I won't be able to install this as friend of mine has the same system in his Exige and it sounds amazing. But this just doesn't make sense for my car anymore. All interconnects are cut to length, making this as plug-and-play as one can get in these cars.
