Wow, that box was a beast. 

tldr; I gave it away when I sold my subs. 

Long story.

I remember paying $20.00 daily in gas, on my daily because of that box. I got rid of it maybe 3 or 4 years ago? I didn't keep it long. Maybe 3 months. I paid too much in gas. I wanted to go small on my, on my daily and got a some crescendo subs and amps.. but it just sit in a box. I redid my Doors and A Pillars after that box but never finished the full system, until maybe 2 months ago when I did a DSP, and sub, and amp rack.

About a month ago I got a Pathfinder and kind of went all out on rebuilding my new system, on a system I just "completed" after a few years of nothing.

 

So this is where it sits today.. and here we go on this rebuild. Later, you will see pictures of everything getting removed from this. Down to the plastic and some CNC action going on.

PLACEHOLDER. Somehow images got deleted from the server. 

[Joseph Chambers]

Head Unit is installed. Good bye Pioneer DEH-80PRS and hello Pioneer DMH-Z5350BT. 

[MrSkippyJ]

Looking forward to seeing this done!

[Joseph Chambers]

So these are what was in it.
 

Broke it down, removing the vinyl
 

Let's get on with the new new.
 

 

 

Front to back right? haha.

 

[Joseph Chambers]

So the good news is that this looks good. However; there are some bad news.

 

Bad news:



and thats not going to work. So I guess this is the direction that's going to have to happen. 



I'll keep you guys posted.

[Joseph Chambers]

So update on some of the progress. The Double din is installed with a new reverse camera.

 

The front door panels, removed the previous work.

 

Working on the new amp racks, for the inside part. Not the beauty panel. While that's going on might as well do the front and rear bumber
