Very sweet install. I'm very impressed with how clean everything looks. You obviously didn't rush the install. Really cool

LOL That is an RCA to 1/8 inch mini Jack cable. The Eclipse units have a mini jack input instead of rca's. AR makes good cable so I feel no shame....

Nice job, neat and clean install.

May wanna try using MDF rings rather than the plastic ones in the door. The plastic tends to resonate a bit. I read your doing more dampning soon, so Ill skip bustin your ***** on that one.

Looks you needed a filter (PAC SN1?) on the Commander, had problems?

I'm using foam and ATC baffles so the rings aren't a problem....but I am adding some deadning...for sure....

Yes I had some noise coming from the commander....a constant high pitch noise even with the car not running...the only way I got rid of it was to use a ground loop isolator and ground it to the chassis of the commander tuner box then not to have the tuner box touch the chassis at all. I also had to install a PAC line level adjuster because the Eclipse deck has to sensitive of an input.
