[QUOTE="evan, post: 1089193, member: 562202"] I finally finished the install yesterday. It seems like it took for ever, but I am happy with the results. I started by attempting to mount the boxes for the 5.25's. I used some stuff that is meant for holding pipes in place for plumbing. [IMG]http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/160/truckx1paint4rt.jpg[/IMG] It was easy enough to cut with tin snips, but the process of mounting the boxes was a giant pain in the A$$!!! It was difficult to get in behind the boxes to get the brackets attached to a place that would keep them from swinging forward so there was a whole lot of swearing going on, but I got it done. [IMG]http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/6479/truckx3paint3wm.jpg[/IMG] I started organizing the mess of wires buy lining up the speaker and rca wires down the passenger side of the hump in the floor. [IMG]http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/4812/truckx6paint8qe.jpg[/IMG] The power wire got run along the edge of the drivers side by the door, then I installed the carpet and pulled through the wires and seat belts and stuff. [IMG]http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/3236/truckx13paint0ws.jpg[/IMG] So, it's done. I haven't messed with any setting on the amp yet (both gains are at top dead center) but I am pleased with the sound. For my first attempt at a car audio install, I'm pretty happy. Sure beats the heck out of an AM mono radio.
