We did a little bit today. Not much time but got started.

Hey, I'm trying to build in a way that i can accumulate points in competition, so if you see anything i do that may hurt or hinder me, let me know.

Thanks to all!!

Started wiring.

You should protect the power wire where it goes through the bulk head. I would sugest spliting some vacuum line and placing over the metal edges.

x2 on the above and sound deadening....lots and lots...

More updates. Finishing the wiring up front. Amp rack coming together, still in its baby phase. A little sound absorption. Really would like to be a little unique in the wiring, maybe looms, but I'll think of something later on.

RCA and remote from HU into cabin.

More wiring, passenger side.

Fiberglass absorption, rear well.

Opposite well

Video update.

More work...

-Got nearly all the wiring in the cabin finished, all but installing the front to rear 1/0

-Made much more progress on the amp rack. Got the basic framework done and mounted to the body.

-Rear wells, B pillar, and doors deadened and filled with fiberglass insulation.

Got to finish the amp rack, kick panels, and DSP setup. A pillars are going to be in test mode for a while before permanent fabrication.

Nice man, great work so far. I'm following.

All the wiring inside the cabin is finished. Carpet is ready to go back in. 1/0 also installed. Still have to cover in a rubber grommet later.

Floor to back seats.

Almost finished. Well, the hard stuff anyway. Had to put this under the passenger side. Back when my air conditioner drain flooded, i had to remove the foam underneath, therefore throwing the alignment with the carpet off

Midbass kick vent - this is my solution for a sealed vent outside the cabin.

Fiberglass prep

Looking good. I would have coated the other side of the cardboard on the doors with resin or something to waterproof tho. But this is coming together nicely man.
