[QUOTE="1LOWCHIEF, post: 4489661, member: 587934"] Well... what a great weekend and a fantastic show. I pulled an all-nighter Thursday night putting in the amps, wiring and such. Some steps took a bit longer than others and most of this install was "spur of the moment", lets put shit wherever it fits. Yes, some of it is hideously ugly, but this install was for this weekend only and I'm already in the process of removing the equipment for (a) a cleaner installation; and (b) better equipment! Here is a profile shot of the whole car all after returning home, all shined up with the hubcaps on. [IMG]http://shackpics.com/files/Profile_0u3sx11kv9teb7o5u4lc.jpg[/IMG] Dash shot. If you know where to look you can see the master on/off switch and the volume knob as well as some wiring hanging down. You can also see a bit of the sub amp mounted under the dash (upside down) on the right side. [IMG]http://shackpics.com/files/Dash1_j54reqix5yv82nxiyvk3.jpg[/IMG] ipod, charger and RCA's fit nicely into the ash tray. [IMG]http://shackpics.com/files/Ipod1_m7d18hk6865800f37l6h.jpg[/IMG] Here is the switch that turns off/on the Ipod charger and remote turn on's for the amps. You can also see the RCA volume knob that controls the volume for the system and well as the bottom part of my old-school Punch 40 amp mounted under the dash to the firewall. [IMG]http://shackpics.com/files/controlamp_cy2xze12pue79zrk1ecp.jpg[/IMG] Here is a shot of the Fosgate P3001 mounted upside down under the dash on the passenger side, as well as a nice shot of my $20 Walmart coaxials. hey, I was on a budget and needed speakers, like NOW!
