[empAUDIO]

3/22/16 When I first got the truck. At this point the only thing on it was 5% tint all around and 45% on the windshield.

 

I have been following this forum for years and now that I will be installing a system on my Escalade I figured I would post it. 

 

For now all I have is bought a bunch of cool stuff. A bunch of goodies! Check it out.

Rockford 2gauge next to the 3/0 gauge.

I have more goodies arriving tomorrow.

I agree. One word of advice......a few guys a while back said to stay way from t-nuts. Just a word of caution. One guy suggested using Spax screws. I used those over a year ago and have had no issues at all.

Something id like to point out is the hammer crimper. Its hard to get a good solid connection with a hammer crimper. Id suggest a hydraulic crimper. You can get ones on ebay that come in a yellow box with yellow handle for around 40 bucks. Itll give you a nice cold weld that will never come loose. Other than that looks great and cant wait to see more.

was just going to suggest the same. Its well worth the money. Plus a little more versatile also. Good luck hammer crimping something in the engine bay.
