NIce, looking good so far. And a little tip on your plexi is if you get glue on it and stuff and your going to tint it anyways get some etching cream, it's cheap and easy to use and hides a ton of imperfections and still is transparent for the leds.

Figuring out where to run wire

Up firewall

Out to battery

Personally, I hate working alone.

Had to make a run for some clamps

Came out good, if I may say so.

Up through back end where battery will be.

Grommets cut for wires

Trimming factory speaker holder for new 6.5 midbass. This thing was way too large. I can't roll the window all the way down now, but It came out good.

Lastly, I got this done tonight. I will spray it tomorrow. Looks way better in the car. LOL

Thats the kind of tricks and tips I need. I'll try it out. Where would I find that?

nice! looks like its coming along

Thanks purple. I'll probably redo this box after we move. It has a lot of flaws. I've just never done one. I think a second go at it, I could get it to look much better.

right on, just get all the right measurements, and take your time, always helps to have an extra hand also

I always ordered from our supplier, I just googled and Wal-Mart popped up on there so it looks readily avaliable. Also etch the inside then spray the outside with the tint.

Your on a roll now, keep up the good work man! That plexi box looks pretty sweet, cant wait to see how it turns out!

[Nates_Veloster]

Got a lot done today. Should wrap up tomorrow. Only waiting on my Project db stuff that was put in the mail today. Hopefully tomorrow I can hear some sound.

Wrapped up the last midbass. This was was the easiest since the seats and everything was out.

Started running wires for VM1 and Bass control

Everything installed under radio. Not perfect. I will remake this box, but I like the look and after a better made box I'll get the look I am going for.

Starting on the amp rack.

Back of rack.

Everything test fitted.

Holes cut for wires.

Wrapped in material and amps on. I love the look I pulled off.

back

Everything in, back seats in place. Plenty of room.

Back with seats up.

Seats down from front.

One more day and I can start some plasti on the outside and get her all cleaned up and banging again.

These were put in the mail to me today from project DB! I cant wait to get them. Last piece, other than alt which is being worked on.

Wife hating the 'install beard'.

Few lesson learned from today. A- I hate shops who don't know what they are doing. I found 2 or 3 broken panels that they had broken and never said anything. I found all kinds of spliced wires just done lazy. B- I hate having to redo work because of a dumb mistake.

More tomorrow.

Im getting ready to go through the wife hating the install crap all over again, that barrel took SOOOOO LOOOOONGGG to modify correctly, I heard about it every day, which is why i started working on it at like 10pm-3 or 4 am most nights.

Its starting to warm up and I think the snow is gone so its about time to start finishing out my trunk, wine style
