My first real 2 amp install was worse, I got laughed at by a shop which wanted to charge me like $400 to redo it all. No thanks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
My ground d block is covered in electrical tape.....I lost the cover.

My amp is sitting on the floor behind the box......I have no amp rack.

My front doors have gaping holes in them- I have no front stage installed.

my power/ground wires are a giant mess right now.....they'll be cleaned up this week though..gotta make it look semi presentable for the giant show this upcoming weekend. but when you have 8 runs of 1/0 goin to a battery, plus 8 more 1/0 wires coming off that battery.....its bound to be a mess one way or another.

Umm...this may be a silly question but if it is the Dblock for your grounds why bother covering it at all? Not too much chance of a short if it is the ground block...

yea you've got a good reason, I'll try and get pics of my buddied camaro its a wreck lol.

can you say 4 gauge wire going from the pillar next to the windshield and going up stapled to the roof all the way back to the hatch.

Seemed like a good thing to do.

Finishing temp installs at 2am+missing ground block cover= lots of electrical tape on the block.
