[QUOTE="americannight, post: 7930225, member: 624648"] I'm gearing up for work on the system this weekend and also next week when I have a few days off. There should be lots of progress here for you to check out. Here's a short list of what's left to do. This is basically in order of how I plan to take it on: 1. Put one more layer of chop mat and body filler on these amp pods, sand to 220 grit. 2. Cover pods. I'm planning a trip to an auto fabric shop in Tukwila this weekend called Perfect Fit McDonald. Do you guys know of any other good sources of carpet or vinyl in the Seattle area? 3. Final placement of the pods and attach to the vehicle. 4. Build subwoofer enclosure. I'm working with Frankie at Image Dynamics on the design. 5. Additional sound deadening, particularly around rear deck of vehicle and passenger door which has not been done yet. 6. Run wiring - need to run two sets of RCAs and the turn on lead from the deck to the trunk. Front RCAs will go from deck to the fronts amp and sub RCAs will go to the sub amp. I will run from the RCA out on the fronts amp to my center channel (mono) amp. Run power and ground to battery located in the trunk. Fuses or circuit breakers, etc. 7. Wire blue LED strips in trunk for illumination. 8. Test system. Work out any bugs. Add more layers of GT Mat and spray foam as needed, etc. [/QUOTE]
