I was going to do the Omega symbol but decided that since their was a large one on the box that I would do the Fj symbol on both sides. I messed up the one piece of Lexan so I might change it when I redo it.

Hmmm that is a good point then. Maybe it's better that way. For symmetry's sake.

Got the other set of LED's wired and everything is working. Last step is carpet and installing it. I thought I had grey carpet but I have black so I need to order some. Anyway, a few more pics...

LED's Wired

LED's wired with speaker quick connects for easy removal of the front piece

Both sides wired and working

Wondering what I did to **** off the local birds. They be hatin'...

Looks really nice. I'm looking at a bunch of stuff like this to hopefully give me an idea of what to do with mine.

It's actually a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. I probably planned it out for 3 or 4 weeks and changed everything while I was doing it. It just takes time and lots of measuring.

LOL at birds. Looks good man. One day I'll make a use out of the ~50 leds I have in my shop...

The neon and lexan work was surprisingly easy. I thought it was going to take a lot longer than it did. The worst part about the lights was the soldering. Mostly because I **** at soldering. I decided to do the box in black carpet since that is what I have at the house right now. If I don't like the way it turns out then I will redo it in grey, but it will have to wait until after Christmas either way because the wife banned me from buying any more Car Audio supplies until Christmas is done.

Tell the wife if you wanted her opinion, you would have come to the kitchen to ask for it. Now finish this build up, I love FJ's and this build looks real nice

LOL she's not allowed in the kitchen, her cooking is terrible. She's good about letting me buy what I want so I can't complain. I was supposed to be out of town for the next three days for a training but it was canceled so I'm going to try to get the carpet on tonight.

Update...

Things kind of slowed down because of the weather but I got some work done yesterday and today. I decided to put my battery in a different location and so I lost my plexi but I like this layout better.

First I fashioned some battery brackets out of 1" flat aluminum

Mock placement of the battery box, battery, and brackets

A couple pics of the finished carpeted floor

Hopefully the install will be within the next couple weeks, but it all depends on the weather.

That is the shlt! I wish I had the ability, not to mention the tools, to do something like this... Good job man!

Got it finished and installed today. I need to run my wiring still but the floor is in, battery is mounted, and it all fits perfectly! I also got the hole drilled for my new wire and the grommet installed. Wednesday I plan on getting my wire ran, battery wired, and amp installed. The woofer is already in and wired so that is one less thing to do. Hopefully I will also get the rest of my RCA's and the new wire for my mids and highs ran.
