2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Build

[orphe 10+ year member]

Moving my system from old 2002 jeep to my 2007 jeep. THIS TIME I want to do it right.

1st things first.

Upgraded the alternator to 220 amps and did BIG 3 with 0 gauge.

Im working on the box and painting it but that's turned into a nightmare.

Is this a good Ground point?

Glue Carpet and nails

The end result

I'd venture to say that's a good ground as long as you sanded and cleaned it. Jeep Grand Cherokees are all unibody designs so it should work perfectly for you.

I like that false floor. Its clean.

working on a fiberglass project (sorry no pics till now).

used foil to shape it to what I needed it to be.

used fiberglass resin to hardened it just a little.

then fiberglass + resin to give it some strength.

bodo, 40,220 sand and then 1 layer of black spray paint and this is what you get.

adding another layer of paint

So what is this polished turd used for?

Well its going here to house the switch to turn on/off the hifonics amp.

Nice and snug in place

Need to sand/ paint with 600 and 2000 grit to get a smoother look.

Need some input everyone..... Based on what I have so far I know Im going to need a second battery in the back. What do you recommend? I have a 1 fared cap but I really do not want to use that.
