[QUOTE="bikinpunk, post: 3397355, member: 568114"] Welp...today I experienced the good, the bad, and the *#%^#*. I got to my parent's house @ around noon. Took the dogs with me cause I didn't want them to stay at home while my wife was asleep. Figured I'd let them run around and be dogs. So, I started slow. Took my time plotting my layout. Got a friend over, and he and my dad helped me out. We got wires ran, and tech-flexed. Then we marked off the supports for the bottom layer and screwed them in from the underside. Sturdy! Around 4 I got to the wiring. I decided since I had plenty help, to go ahead and wire as much as I could out of the car, then put it in as one piece and connect the speaker wires & main power/ground. Covered everything good with flex, then heatshrink. My only real issue is/was with my extremely long RCA's. I just ran them around the entire floor and then back up behind the amps and around to the terminals. Nice. Got it in, turned the car on and no sound. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif[/IMG] Thought I used the wrong remote wire on my h701 but didn't. Then I realized that I [I]had[/I] to use a relay. Weeeell, crap. That screwed my "fancy" wiring up because by now it's 8:00 and my dad's ready for me to call it a night since he needs to help me take the dog's fence back home (pictured below). Just wired it up to see if it would work; it did. Cool. Set gains on my new PDX 4.150. Sound isn't good. "Alright...I can deal with the lack of SQ for now. I'll just go ahead and put the top layer on and tackle the rest of the wire fanciness and tuning next weekend". Well, here's the [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif[/IMG] part. When I put the top layer in (which is 2 seperate peices joined by 1 layer of carpet thanks to Rabbit's or Winslow's idea (can't remember who suggested I do that). It worked, but was a bit of a pain to get it. Guess when I did I knocked the relay power loose because after I got my dogs loaded up and ready to go, there was no sound, but the processor is still recognized (sign that distro block and ai-net are fine). Oh, well. I guess I'll just have to deal with that next weekend, too. I was just wanting to have tunes this week; didn't really care about cleaning the rest of the wires up until next weekend. Now, I have to do both next weekend. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG] Oh well, at least I didn't have any system noise for the few minutes I listened to it. So, here's some pictures. Once the bottom layer is tidy'd up more I'll post "final" pictures of it then. Think I'm going to go with some DIY RCA's (or 1 foot ones if anyone has them).
