[QUOTE="Buldg7, post: 8553656, member: 672486"] Alright so an update for you guys. I've measured the space in the back of my Blazer, and done the CAD modeling for the cabs as such. The majority of it is 3/4" MDF, and the rest is 1/4" acrylic. The insides will be painted white to allow better reflection of the RGB LEDs inside, and the outer surfaces will be painted with truck bed liner. I've also found most of the other products I'll need to buy for this project, the only things left are the various wires, the connectors I'll need for the sub LEDs, and the sealant I'll need for the acrylic. I've also chosen to do zoned lighting in the rest of the vehicle (front footwells, rear footwells, and possibly overhead as well), and so I have to find the switches I'll be using to control that. All the LEDs will be wired to the same controller/power supply, and I'm planning on putting the switches on the left side of the center console. I'm also planning on putting the Amp underneath the center console, as there's enough space for it. The main reason I opted against putting it underneath the driver's seat is the fact I live in New England where it snows, a lot, and then gets very muddy, and long story short, I don't want the amp to be so exposed to the elements.
