Teh wires are run - check pics on last page //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

They are running through the main fuse grommet and back through the stock wire track of the car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Oh, and I think the dipsh!ts who installed my alarm cut some of my stock wiring and left it bare, because when I opened up the wire track there were about 5 wires cleanly stripped 1/4" back... no wonder I've been having intermittent shorts in my car.

lovin it so far....

instead of running the 4 gauge and 1/0 up to the batt, why didn't you just run 1/0 to a distribution block?

ahh okay..one more question....How much port area is that?...Just trying to weigh out my options here

Meh, I didn't really want to deal with an extra distro block in the back, I already had the wire, etc. etc. kind of a personal choice I guess.

Not too sure how to calculate that but if you give me some formulas I'd be happy to crunch the numbers for ya //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Update... Just checked UPS status and the subs got picked up by them this afternoon! *says a prayer*...

And I got the plastic trunk piece primered today... some good ish we got at work, DuPont 2k urethane //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif. Gotta sand her down and re-primer, still a little rough. I'm doing this on my 30 minute lunch breaks so it might take a while lol...

MATT, YOU'RE GOING TOO SLOW!

HURRY UP!

And, as for the rest of the fegs, fck them. I didn't take off any panels when I ran my very first set of wires. Now I know better. XD God knows what's pinching up against them.

You know this time to take your time and think it thoroughly.

Hurry and finish, though.

lol, I'm going as fast as my paychecks come in //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif. So long as AQ has the 2200D back in stock (can anyone verify this?) it will be ordered this Thursday.

Got about 30 hours overtime this paycheck so I plan on making big moves baby //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Interesting thing happens today. I made the payment to AQ for the amp and DJ refunded it, saying the AQ2200D would not be back in stock until the 3rd week of November. I was kinda bummed, but I happen to come across a guy selling one brand new on RoE (thanks infamous_e56) and I PP'd him, so it is on the way and should be here on Thursday //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Now, the Fi moofers are in San Antonio, and scheduled to be delivered on Monday. I call UPS and they tell me the Pickup Dept. is closed on Sat and Sun... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif. I tried to schedule a pickup for Monday but they told me I need to call back on Monday to do that... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif. Whatever. They're practically here

In other news, I should be ordering that DampPro from SSA if I can't find any sellers on here.

So, my progress:

Primed the trunk piece, she's ready for one more coat of primer and then it's onto paint //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Krylon'd the port forest green, this was after the first coat. I ended up using the whole can (it's a little patchy I don't know why it didn't turn out like I thought it would. Oh well.)
