Increadible setup, I can only imagine with all that processing that it sounds even better.

Looks truly amazing, my hats off to you sir. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

Yeah, I had some fabrication help from Jeff Smith and James Stanton (formerly of Audio Designs of Atlanta) now working out of Sound Sensations in Marietta, GA. By using a shop also helped me to get JL Audio and Kinetik on board as sponsors, which is not an easy thing to do.

Jeff Smith does some killer work... very nice install.

Impressive, very impressive. What is the red snake skin made out of?

The snakeskin pieces are created through a process called Hydrographics. It's essentially the same manner in which they make wood grain interior items. The item is painted a base color, for me they color matched to the exterior (PR4) Flame Red. Then the item is submersed in water and the pattern is laid on the water surface and the part is drawn up into the pattern. Once dried the piece is then clear coated and it wears as well as any other painted part.

absolutely beautiful. How many magazines has this been in so far, cause it sure should be in some.

Amazing work through and through, as others have said the tweeters in the doors stink, what about picking up some factory door panels that don't have the factory tweeters and redoing those to match what you got. Its really the only place to fault your amazing install and its not even remotely a major point. Must sound amazing.

awesome work, id like to have seen some more on axis stuff from custom kicks and door panels, but as long as the end result is great and the h701 is taken to its potential then ill let it slide //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

beautiful. that was the first thing that came out of my mouth after i saw the first pic.

the install looks amazing, the only dislike i have is the snake skin pattern. in the first pic i thought it looked like wood grain. either way, awesome work done on your car man.

Very nice install with tons of attention to details, I like how the bottom of the batteries are made to fit perfectly to the bed floor. Overall truck looks amazing. Is there anything done to the engine? Any plans for the engine?

Looks sick man, love seeing super clean custom installs. I've seen you post over on DakotaDurango.com forums.

Thank you! Yes, the engine has most of the performance bolt-ons on it, PCM, roller rockers, intake manifold, shaker CAI, throttle body, headers, etc... And certainly some cosmetic mods have been done as well.

This is how a stock Dakota R/T 98-03 engine bay looks....

and this is my engine bay....

That engine looks great. A great improvement over the factory look, I bet it will run pretty good. Have you dynoed it ever?
