That means you better use your nitrous wisely....but seriously this build probably gives other people goals to work toward such as build quality and attention to detail. It's awesome.

I guess that's the big difference with this build is I've followed along and watched as each step is done and the attention to the fine details and the placement of everything being thought out, the panels made to remove for easy bottle removal and system adjust and the cooling system for the amps is off the charts. I didn't get to see the step by step of the other people's builds and how they thought out the install. But still this is in a league of its own. Straight up!

Props on hiding all of those wires Steve...Wow!! Other than the plugs inserts it looks like the trunk is about done.

sorry, forgot to answer that.....the plexi is cut so precise, that once it goes in, past the leather in the corners, it "bites" itself into place. It has nothing but the fact its snug, and the corners "snag" just right. Its hard to explain. It is upside down 99.9999% of the time and so far, it doesn't budge. Plus, my little pick-tool can get behind it and pop it out with a little pull in a few spots. It actually does not fall out but is easy to pop out if you need to. Win!

How much planing did you do on this build? Or is this whole build going by the seat of your pants. Curious cause this looks as if it had three months of planning and design done to it.

i plan my next days move whilst sitting on the toilet the day before LOL. Car audio is an obsession of mine and when i am doing a build i think about what i am doing non stop.....going over it again and again in my head to make sure it makes sense. I will sketch something on paper sometimes but mostly i freestyle. Any prior planning is just in my brain from stessing and worrying about it all the time.

Plus, people think i am better then i really am. I am NOT a pro by any means. That being said, i have a name to live up to since i own this site.....and messing up in front of everyone should be avoided at all costs LMAO!

thanks guys!!!
