[QUOTE="Trancer, post: 7630696, member: 544448"] Well the good thing about my next project, which is going to consist of me doing my first fiberglass/wood hybrid box, since I have never done fiberglass and dont know how to do it, I will be able to take my time doing it, since unfortunately, I am currently unemployed. So I will be taking my time on this box. Im wanting to do a fiberglass bottom to curve the floor of my 08 Sierra and then the rest would be wood. I'm also thinking about going a little further and making the front board out of fiberglass also to have my subs sticking out a little bit and be offset a bit so it would look custom. I'm sure this is going to take me several days to complete, but I will be ripping everything out including my seats, amps, and wiring. Relocating my 30" x 7" Audiopipe 3000D inside my center console and hopefully build a rack on top of that to place my Phoenix Gold Tantrum 500.2 along with my distribution blocks. I would be completely embarrassed to show my anyone what it looks like under my seat with my wiring going everywhere. But if I do this, then you shouldn't be able to see any of the wires at all as it would be in the center console and the wires running under the carpet. Oh the fun times us fellow pickup owners have with limited confined space like the OP has. If only I had a car or an SUV, things would be so much simpler. I did some custom work on my Sierra to have the front and rear chrome bumpers along with the outer chrome trip that goes around the grill, painted black to match, like the Sierra Denali's. It looks sick, but anyway, I got to drive a rental 2012 Tahoe LT fully loaded and absolutely fell in love with it. Obviously it rides much better than my truck for obvious reasons.
