Today I opted to start assembling the rear panel FINALLY, as the project went deep last July and I have really been dragging my...... Anyway, the entire rear will need to come apart to reroute the wires/cables, or I will need to clearance the panel to accommodate the wires/cables in their...

Last weekend I finally got around to texturing and painting the rear panel that will hold the amp rack. The texture look heavy until I sanded the tops off with 240 grit paper, which looked pretty good after final painting.

It finally arrived a week and a half ago, I just havent had time to install it yet. Really is a great looking piece, it's too bad it's going to be under a closed hood. I will get to installing this within the next month, if I ever get to the amps and speakers..............

I know right!?!?!? How can you finish a vehicle off in this category with such poor finish an detail? I'm not even saying that GM should have used real wood, but at least something with better feel - even aluminum, carbon fiber, alcantera, or something that doesn't scream cheap fake!

I still haven't received the alternator yet from DC Power, I have a sneaky suspicion it didn't ship when they had projected. Usually I'm no more than 5-7 business days shipping from anywhere in the US. This really is the big hold up to being able to finish the power side. Still on the list...

Received word today that my DC Power alternator will be shipping out on Thursday (Feb 12, 2013) and should be in my hands by the following Friday. I guess I know what I'll be doing next weekend (for that 20 min anyway), there will no longer be excuses not to finish panels and the sub box with...

COMPLETED!!!!! Looks good, sealed tight.

This weekend was the start of sealing up and deadening the doors. Much more labor intensive than I anticipated, and I will only be getting the front doors completed this weekend; as I initially expected getting all passenger doors and rear access completed in one swoop. Cleaning the doors in...

That's a bad sign. That typically is a sign of overcharging. If it also smelled very strong of sulphur, disconnect immediately and leave in a vented area until the noise and smell is gone. Have an AVR test done on your vehicle, or takeout the battery and alternator and bring it to a parts shop...

Right now, even with a factory alternator you are trying to fill a thirsty battery by pouring from a pitcher into a straw. The only way to do this properly is make sure the straw is big enough to work with the thirst (or system load) you are presenting. No factory charging system ANYWHERE is...

http://www.caraudio.com/forums/car-audio-build-logs-cars-trucks-suvs/563870-cadillac-escalade-sql-custom-build.html That's my current build, it's taking far longer than anticipated. I have the gear just not the time. I'll be updating Sunday night (I hope), I should have time to bang out some...

For future, or if you want to change the look, you can separate the lenses from the housings and lay the LEDs inside. This will give it a true euro look similar to Audi. They go back together super easy, I know you have skills, this is just a small detail that will take you to the next level...

I'm loving this build........ It's a great DD with good looks, a nice stance, and many perks put in for owner enjoyment. Well done.
