2012 Toyota 4Runner SQ+ build

Well done man!

Did you ever decide on how you are going to place the amps? You going to keep them at an angle like that? I can't believe PP didn't center the logo on all of the amps. That is an OCD installers nightmare //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Thank you. Keeping them positioned like they are seems to work best.

Good deal. I can't wait to see the finished product! Keep up the good work!

Quick update from today.

Pretty cardboard.

Followed by wood.

Next, vinyl.

Last but not least, a short video of the rear of the vehicle.

Looks awesome, good work!

Thank you.

The weather was perfect today so I took advantage of it and got some work done.

First job was the front fuse. Nothing fancy, just a Skyhigh ANL fuse holder.

Next was getting the steering wheel controls working. It took me almost an hour to realize that the "remote" was turned off in the head unit. Great way to waste time.

Anyway, these are working.

These aren't. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

After that I finished up hiding the power wire. Next I replaced the old scrap speaker wire that I used last week when I ran out of the purple / black Skyhigh wire. I also ran the wire to place the MS-8 controller in the glove box. I didn't mount it, just placed it in there for now. None of this seemed picture worthy so I won't bore you.

Next job was straightening up the wiring some. Believe it or not this is an improvement.

The final job for the day was work on some more cover panels. I was able to get them cut out and covered, I haven't figured out how to mount them yet. I went with carpet on these pieces, seemed to make sense to me for some reason. I still have one more piece to do. It's only 3" x 53". The problem is that I don't have a 54" board. Crap!

Welp, that's it for this weekend. Now I'll work on tuning it in the evenings then get back to work on it Friday, clean it up Saturday, then first show on Sunday.

Hey what module did you use for the steering wheel controls? I used the Metra Axxess ASWC-1 in my 2011 Camry. We have the same controls it looks like. My two phone buttons do not work as well, however my speak/voice command button does work if you hold it down. I don't have the mic installed yet on mine, but maybe you can use the voice command to make calls? I think we have the same double din too right? Kenwood DDX392?

I'll have to try holding down the button, thanks. I am using the ASWC-1 as well but I have the 372 head unit. I've had it for about a year but I've never tried holding the button down.

Good deal! Let me know if it works.

Where did you install your mic? I'm trying to figure out the best place for mine.

Mine is installed just to the right of the driver's side sun visor. Once every thing else is finished I may work on hiding it.

Thank you. I last did something like this around 1998 so it has been a while and things have really changed.

I've spent most of my time over the past couple of days tuning but I also did a couple of small jobs.

The panels on the back were making a little noise and falling off from time to time. I added some Tesa felt tape, some denim insulation, and some deadener to the panels.

I also added some insulation and some foam tape to the 2.5's in the dash.

The only downside so far is that my led controller decided to burn up.

Last but not least I finished up the cover panels behind the rear seat. I do plan on redoing the power distribution in the near future.

My first competion was today, I'm pretty happy with my scores. I competed in MECA Street SQ and install.
