First i started with installing a 200amp alt..

then decided to tear out all interior and deadend the entire truck with 1 gallon of spectrum and 80 sq. ft of damplifier...

Thanks,

i think i am going to leave it for now but may carpet it in the future.. actually i will most likely either port that box or get new subs sooo i will probably do it then.

How's it sound?
