Speaker wire arriving today via FedEx.

Go figure. FedEx updates the tracking with Business closed or Customer not available and rescheduled delivery for Monday. Having worked for FedEx before I know this driver is full of it. It's Friday and he wants to go home.

I pulled out the inputs for the amplifier and the remote knob. As soon as the speakers wires show up I am gonna kick it into high gear and finish the wiring.

Wiring, DSP tuning.

I ordered the last piece for the Equinox. I opted for the Husky brand floor mats over the Weathertec. My main reason for these is hiding wires and cables. Gonna have a minimum of two remotes with cables, 3 pairs of speaker wires down each side of the car. The power and ground are under the vehicle with seriously heavy duty weather proof metal grommets. There is a welder/fabricator not to far from me. I am going to ask him about a custom 2 level amp rack. Gonna see how much I can get done Wed and Thur. My days off.

I have the carpet on the second amp rack board now. Just have to get some brackets to secure it. Off to Lowes!!

Here is the progress so far. It's all secure but I feel I need better brackets.

I may change things up. I may slide the sub box closer to the hatch and build an amp rack behind the seat. As it sits now, I can't lower the back seat back rest because the box is anchored to the floor. The hell was I thinking.

Before anchoring the enclosure, you should have consulted that one guy who is never wrong.

He is ignoring me. That opens the door for the rest of society to be right lol.

I notice you're using OFC....

I notice you're using OFC....

My tweeter speaker wires are CCA, mids are OFC, midbass are OFC, Subs are OFC. All signal wires and short power and ground cables are OFC....................... the power wire is 1/0 GPaudio and it is as follows

TRUE 1/0 AWG OFHC Copper Power Cable​

This cable uses 99.99% OFHC (Oxygen‑Free High Conductivity) pure copper, providing exceptional current flow, ultra‑low resistance, and excellent flexibility. No CCA, no shortcuts — just real copper you can trust for demanding electrical systems.

Now your tweeters are going to be 10db louder than the rest of the system. Should have listened to Rob.
