Great write up. I just did the same install this weekend. The Polk kit sounds amazing. Now I know what i was missing from the factory crap!
My only gripe is with the generic install instructions. I found myself wasting a few hours just trying to fill in the gaps and figuring out what i was missing. Your write up will help others to cut this install down to a very short period.
Steve was very responsive when i sent him emails. He sent me links to other spots on his website that showed how to do those few things that were not included in the generic instructions. But because this was done by email, it made what needed to a 2-3 hour install a 1.5 day install with lots of time gap. That may not sound like much, but when Friday is all you had available on your kid schedule, finishing your install on Saturday meant that its fight night with your wife..
Frankly, I get the impression that he is just a very busy guy, but he is doing his absolute best to put together good product. I'm certainly not bashing him. I hope that he just takes a little polite criticism to "go the extra mile" to put together a more thorough cheat sheet in the kits with correct links to the things that most people that don't live in audio land will need to know.
By the way, are you getting lots of whine in your speakers when you turn up the gains just a tiny bit(when the car is running of course)? All my connections are soldered, but it seems that i need to chase down whats causing my noise. I don't want to blame it on the amp quite yet.
