here is the amp rack. I am kind of at a builder block with this one so i just started building.

Rode up to parts express on the motorcycle to pick up some more charcoal carpet.

Upgraded my fuse block. One goes to the cars electrical system, the 1/0 goes to my bass amp and a I added a third run for my dsp/6 channel amp while I was st it. Figured it was easier to run it now than later. Took me a while to figure out where to put it but I am happy with the end result.

Got the box in, didn’t go quite as planned. The box fits but since the sub is designed to go in the top, I had to slide the box in through the trunk then i had to remove the rear seat and slide the box into the cab. I then installed the sub with the box part way in the cab then slid it back and i had to compress the sub to get it in. This was not exactly what i had in mine. Since i had to remove the carpet from the trunk in order to do this. I now needed to pick the box up to get the carpet in. So i used ratchet straps to pick it up and slide the carpet back in.

I decided to follow the advice of some people on this forum and deleted the rear deck speakers. Right now i am still wiring things up. I forgot to take a picture of the amp rack. i will do that tomorrow.

Set the gain on the bass amp and put the plexiglass window in. I don't like how the amp rack turned out. I will proably remake and use vinyl to wrap it.

I added battey tender hook ups to my trunk. I had to do two because i have an idolater. I decided this was the easiest route instead of activating the isolator. That little fuse box by the idolater is for the battery tender.

I also upgraded my front battery ground, i just didnt like the looks of how i had it ran before. I also started making stuff for the a pillars.

been busy, I redid the amp rack for a couple of reasons. 1, there wasnt enough room between the two amps so the support of the kenwood could hit the wolfram also i wanted to wrap it in vinyl.

Here it is i have some wire clean up left to do.

I hired a local shop to build my a pillars. I am happy with the results. I also finished hooking everything up and running the wires.

Haven't been following this, but I have to say great job taking your time and making the final product look as good as it does. Hope it sounds as good as it looks

Thanks, working on learning how to use the audio frog RTA and get this thing tuned correctly. i want to do something to hold the power wires for the map and keep them spaced evenly just cant decide on a good design I also need to make a cover for the sub box.
