So I did quite a bit a work today. I didn't get much pictures of the process because my camera battery was dead, used it at my daughters basket ball game. I also did have my phone because it needed to be charged... Plus i got into work mode i didn't ever get the cameras during the process... Anyway here are some pics i did manage to get.

Here you see i cleaned up all my speaker wires... Also showing where the are routed... For the most part i just followed factory wires and zip tied...

So i wanted to hear how the speakers sounded so i just set in my doors to get them playing. I did clean up all the wiring some more and set in the carpet a few other things. The vids will be up once finished loading.

Here also i got my shift lever area primed up and ready to coat black.

So its been a while since i updated this. So i have started on the sub box. After i get that in i should be able to get going on the rest of the stuff. I am looking at some material to wrap my doors, trying to get as close to matching as possible. Once i get that i should be good on the rest of the build. So here we go with the box progress.

So this is the specs to my box. I was told the physical port length would be 24" so that would make my tuning down to 32hz. I will soon find out after the box is built.

Looking good.

If possible, try adding a third brace from the sub mounting baffle to the back of the box. It doesn't have to be a single piece like the ones you already have installed. It can be two short 2x4s that tie into the existing braces. They'll just have to be inline with each other.

Either or, it's looking badass. Hit me up when you ready to start serving some demos. :D
