Lookin clean. Good shiz :thumbsup:
thanks guys. i try to keep it as clean as i can but that 4/0 wire doesnt help or the 2/0. plush im running out of room for amps :( i still need to put in 4 more amps.
i have another rockford 800a4 to put in, the memphis x604, the two x1001 amps to put in as well. its gonna be putting 20 lbs in a 10 lb bag haha.
got to love when the gf helps with the install
hell yeah :)

LoL yea the likely hood of my wife helping me install is her sitting on another car watching me. But at least she gives me moral support.

May 13, 2010: well i got sent home early so i took this time to rewire my box with the bolt idea and it was a pain in the ass. lol. but after it was all done i like it better. easier to hook up to my amps as they have 2 channels for output on a monoblock style amp.

this weekend i gotta figure out something for mounting 3 more amps to the box some how, and one more to the back of the seat. gonna be a tough one.



yeah i attached one side to the bolts than got distracted and crimped and attached the side that goes to the subwoofer to the bolts. im a :tard:



i also ran out of speaker wire and power wireso i gotta get some more to wire to the amp. i gotta send out my one xtant for repair still, gotta get some more rca's and gotta get this damn wine out of my highs. only happens when the heat is on. freakin gay.

update December 25/26, 2010:
Got a new build in the hoe coming up. just installed 30 ft of dynamat and will be installing the rest tomorrow in the front doors. gonna need to buy more for the rear doors and probably more layers on the roof and barn yard doors.




before dynamat:



after:





and i would like to thank gm for making it so damn hard to remove the headliner because of this:


they glued the wiring harness for the rear heating unit to the headliner so you cannot remove the headliner with all the wires attached. F you GM!

either way still got it done. will have more pictures tomorrow of front doors being matted and hopefully will have my cut sheet ready to start building a new box!

4 15's, same subs as before just new box designed because my last one sucked.

what brand wire is that black one, and can I use a regular car batt for a second batt to stick behind my seat, or do I have to use a drycell batt.
that black speaker wire is Scosche EFX 12 gauge wire. nice stuff. i like it a lot. and about the battery, i would assume you could but it would be better to use a car audio designed battery thats sealed.

luckily you can do your work indoors. I keep getting excuses about using my uncles shop. :(
thats my home garage, 2 car garage, but its deeper and has 4 quads and a jon boat in there too haha.
