Alright so finally got around to "finishing" a build in one of my vehicles haha. I say "finishing" because it's as close to done without having the new alternator or battery racks built but it's sooo close lol. "Fighter Jet" reasoning will be shown through pictures, hopefully you get the meaning haha. Here are the stats:

2000 Ford Explorer Limited 5.0 AWD
Pioneer 80PRS
Custom switch/gauge panel
SHCA RCAs, fuse holders, ring terminals, heat shrink
SHCA Green and Black 1/0
DC AUDIO 5K DC AUDIO 10k
4- Soundqubed HDC3 10s 4 - 18" DC Audio Lvl 6 18s, full Carbon fiber option
XSPOWER Batteries
SINGER ALTERNATORS
Anyone want to see some pictures?

Found some high quality, factory style 3M Sound Reduction Mat, used that on the floor in the cargo area. Got it at a discontinued price so i couldn't say no lol

Headliner out, that was a bitch

20140624_173600_zpsedptbbnn.jpg

Hmmmm so as far as i can recall, a factory roof skin doesn't have primer on the inside...

20140624_173605_zpstwplks4u.jpg

WHOO! Backyard hackjob ugh. It does have a salvage title from back in 2001. No info on why it's a salvage but i always wondered by there was a moonroof switch in the overhead console, there was white paint everywhere since the truck was resprayed black. Must have had a tree fall on it or been in a rollover accident. Oh well.

20140624_173714_zpswg4nxrev.jpg

Explains why the windshield leaks at the very top seam

20140624_173717_zpsqsjvrtfo.jpg

Temporary fix until i can get a new glass

Letting the second skin warm up a bit.

20140624_181322_zpspsbvxjxm.jpg

Double and triple layer in some places across the entire roof

20140624_190527_zpsjtmlh9rw.jpg

Hatch

20140624_190531_zpsl5ipqayd.jpg

Caught him workin again haha

20140627_172559_zpswdbxqa0y.jpg

Finishing the floor seams

20140627_182624_zpsv3nbw1hx.jpg

More hatch

20140627_182634_zpsbp3jx2un.jpg

Hatch plastic so it doesn't rattle, much lol

Time for some power!

Trying to bring her back to life. Was completely discharged to 0.03 volts when i first put her on the charger, never heard a charger whine that bad before! She came back though, great success!

20140809_153554_zpsbc5nzx9u.jpg

Love these Rockford terminals!

20140809_153559_zpsqsrifji4.jpg

My temporary 4 gauge wiring for a temporary setup while i get things situated

Junk amp on some JL W0s lol

20140810_163948_zpst3bmjo4z.jpg

Who needs to know their fuel economy in a V8 explorer? Not me, perfect spot for a switch/gauge panel! This is where the nickname "Fighter Jet" comes into play. The guys at work thought it looked like a Fighter Jet cockpit at night, i'll go with it lol.

Not bad for a first time custom panel, have a few new ideas to do so this will get redone

Custom fuse holder panel up next, very crude but again new ideas flowing so it'll get replaced

20140925_134514_zpsows8ngau.jpg

Nuts and bolts from my RC Truck hobby lol

20140925_151146_zpsqvbpxt9t.jpg

Work perfect for holding the fuse holders to the panel

20140925_170209_zpslkb7sqo4.jpg

Some insulated cable clamps for the ground cables to run parallel, neatly with the power cables from the alternator.

20140925_170216_zpskldecsaz.jpg

Some SHCA goodness!

20140927_112827_zpsiehgerjl.jpg

Some more Cold Cathodes, to be used later on in the build

20140927_112837_zps9flr23ar.jpg

Toolmaker Goodness

20140927_112919_zpsdqnsuvvq.jpg

20140927_112923_zps38xkgb4u.jpg

Kinda looks factory....haha

20140927_113054_zpscghmueg3.jpg

My trusty crimper, love this thing

20140927_114411_zpsplijo99e.jpg

Temporary ring terminals for the power since a quad terminal won't fit on the factory alternator.

20140927_114709_zpstijbmemh.jpg

20140927_114917_zpsrki8inwh.jpg

20140927_115129_zpsldjzhl27.jpg

Not wasting the SHCA heat shrink on a temporary fix lol

20140927_115409_zps8zr9ekak.jpg

Ground terminals will stay the same when the new alternator arrives so that'll get done right the first time

20140927_121959_zpsokdl8uc4.jpg

Someone decided it'd be a good idea to build a fire hazard, i mean a nest under my intake manifold, evicted!

20140927_161127_zps4vgiogrq.jpg

Setting up for the front to back runs once i get the battery racks in and the alternator installed

Good spot to run, right above the frame rail, out of the way

Supply time!

Gonna use this for holding some wires up in the box

20140914_110029_zpsvvqmuzn7.jpg

Counter sink inserts for the exterior of the box

20140914_110041_zpspxomz8ty.jpg

1 1/2" dowel for bracing inside the port

20140914_110055_zpsecjx0lwe.jpg

Quarter round trip for inside the corners of the box, tried to cut down on dead corners as much as possible, didn't really follow through on this but did some lol

20140914_110109_zpsduhbb1gy.jpg

Never have too many straight edges in different lengths

20140914_110119_zpsdn9dlxso.jpg

20140914_110127_zpsqyaclwdr.jpg

Top baffles

20140914_144120_zpsxsjiau3j.jpg

20140914_152248_zpsfnfs2z5g.jpg

Corner trim pieces, about as much as i really felt like screwing with, more trouble then it was worth i think

20140914_144138_zpsdnwaqjrp.jpg

Counter sink inserts glued and drying, soon to be sanded down for finishing

20140914_165111_zpsiwp8wlhg.jpg

20140914_165119_zpscfuukkpt.jpg

Screws to hold the subs in, these should work relatively well lol

20140914_180703_zpss6tkfwsj.jpg

White for the box

20140914_180710_zpscwl3gcbw.jpg

Back wall to vertical support brace, this should stop any flex that should happen on the back side

20140914_183725_zpsqbdbh7q5.jpg

Some lines

20140914_201110_zpsk6kkzub8.jpg

What are those for???

20140914_210047_zpszygd3quk.jpg

Maybe some more port holes?
