09 E63 W/ Harmon Kardon Stereo, need hi fidelity setup, help!

I got tired of the space limitations in my 06 SL55, I just picked up a 09 E63 W/ Harmon Kardon Stereo, I'm looking to see if any members have had there system upgraded and or a new aftermarket set up installed, I installed one in my SL55, That turned into a nightmare. Thanks.

I just added a 12" JL in the trunk in a removable JL box & an extra amp hidden behind where the Nav would normally be.

Installed total was about $700.

I wanted a setup that i could take out on a moments notice, in case i needed to use my whole trunk for luggage.

I bought one of those shallow trunk trays (rubber/plastic) & used heavy duty velcro to make the box stick to it. It doesn't move.

The only thing i don't like is the trunk vibration in my car...you can hear it on the outside. Is there any way to fix that?
