Thank you. It's pretty amazing how they chop up all that usable space for cheezy plastic panelage. Yeah, the speaker brackets rattle but so does damn near everything else . . . regardless, they'll come out too.

Dream240 - You could do what I'm doing and paint it to match the exterior. Not sure if you want to go to that trouble tho. The biggest bitch will be removing all of the adhesive that nasty tar **** left.
What materials were you thinking about using for your sound system? If you're taking it to a shop, the standard as far as I know is plywood which is obviously heavy. If it's being fitted to the chassis, then maybe fiberglass is the plan which is much better. I had a fitted box tho, and I'm warning you, the chances of winning any sound competitions is minimal, unless you find a way to square out the inside of the box. All of the curves and odd shapes of a fitted box do odd and usually not good things to sound waves.
I'm not sure if it would work for subs, but I'm thinking about building my new mid housings out of carbon fiber. That would be the way to do it if 1) you want to save weight, 2) you want to win competitions, and 3) you've got plenty of dough to blow to get there.
