[QUOTE="ericnord, post: 5078767, member: 560194"] Today's Update: Ok, so over the last couple days I've been putting the car back together! I don't have any pictures of it, but it looks like it did before I took it apart....almost [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Today I started working on the false floor that will be in the rear cargo area. First thing I did cut the bottom piece w/ some 1/2" MDF using the rear cargo cover that came w/ the car as a template. I made notes on amp placement, wiring diagrams, etc on the wood: [IMG]http://hutec-inc.com/personal/build/7/floor1.jpg[/IMG] Then I started adding 3/4" MDF supports and used a hole saw for wire runs: [IMG]http://hutec-inc.com/personal/build/7/floor2.jpg[/IMG] Added more 3/4" MDF for support. Notice the extra focus in the top right corner. The ED 13aV.2 sub and box will sit right above this and it is a good 50+ lbs. I also made holes in the side supports for ventilation and for attaching PC fans later if I have heat issues: [IMG]http://hutec-inc.com/personal/build/7/floor3.jpg[/IMG] Added the hinge piece so I can get to my spare tire as well as the distro blocks: [IMG]http://hutec-inc.com/personal/build/7/floor4.jpg[/IMG] Then I ran all my pwr and grnd cabling.
