Okay everyone I am going to try and get the Dynapad, Dynamat and Avic Z140 installed before bowling green.
I got the stereo, Bose adapter and antenna extension from Dennis@ doubleD mods. I am thinking of adding a sub and amp. Would this affect the sound from the Bose Speakers?
What would you use to re-glue the carpet down?

dynamat has a sticky backing.. I don't know about dynapad \
but the 3M spray adhesive works well

I've done 4 cars now in total - not claiming any expertise - but I've found two adhesives that are my "go to" glues, depending on the application requirements:
3M spray-on adhesive (black can) for large areas requiring less adhesion, or areas that might need to be removed again later. The sills area comes to mind, or sticking down the cargo floor area for another.
Liquid contact (brush-on) cement (Mid America's carpet adhesive is good chit) for areas needing high-strength such as locations where the carpet is stretched over curves, or along trim edges, pieces hung on vertical or nearly vertical surfaces (e.g., the center console sides) or in the footwell and knee pad and kick panel areas.
I find limited use for the spray on adhesive, far as gluing carpet goes. It goes on quickly, carpet can more easily be removed later where the spray is used, and there is the limitation: strength. I prefer the liquid stuff if it reeeeaaaally needs to stay put, even if it is a chore to remove later.
Just my 2 cents...
