08 Escalade build

I have a few complaints...
Running the wire under the car opens it to debris. (especially with out some sort of plastic shielding.) You can argue the jacking will protect the wire, but the jacket is pretty weak and will chip off... and, well, no one wants that. Not to mention you open it up to a higher degree of weather lessening the life-span of the wire.

It doesn't really matter... but in my opinion that's just bad workmanship instead of just tucking it up under the carpet.

The box is nice. However, sub back port back with out the grill probably would've been better. It probably won't matter, like the wire... but, it's the little things that bother me.

And those rims are pretty dope... but something tells me he's gunna be at a Jay-Z concert and come back to find his truck on cinder blocks.

But Treo equipment is baller. I've always wanted to get my hands on their amps.

you gotta think about the wire under the hood anyways, its exposed to all the elements including a lot of heat under the hood for long periods of time... but yeah i see what your saying. i see wire getting more damage under the hood because of the heat than tucked underneath of the vehicle. dirt/dust/mud/water shouldnt effect the wire at all as long as the jacket is relatively thick like a lot of wire is.

Well if I was spending that much money I probably would have made a different choice but to him they were the sh_t, so in the end that is what matters.

For the wiring, we decided we are going to undercoat it.

Also this build, I forget the exact amount but if you want it I can look it up on Monday but it ended up around $1,300 to $1,500 dollars that is tax, install, and product.

Turned out very good in my opinion. I hate the grills with an effing passion, but if the dog's gonna be jumping around then you have to protect those woofers, so by all means I cant say much about that.

Looks like they do pretty well, too.

I know. Protection was the most important factor in this build. Thank you for the props.

Probably would of saved them alot of time running the wire properly under the carpet, then you don't have to worry about anything.
