ACtually haven't taken it out since pulling all the interior out, but I will do that in the next few hours. I should expect to feel a little difference

 

Update:

Unfortuanately have not had much time to work on this week except for today. I was able to get the 1/0 power wire and the remote Turn-on lead run, get the fuse holder installed, Install the sub box, Put down some Rubberized Undercoating and start on the sub floor.

looks really good...that box will sound really good...check mine out:

 

Nice looking box, Rawney. Is that vinyl or paint covering the box?

I am building an amp rack in the same spot and havnt decided how to cover it yet.

 

it is vinyl wrapped...

 

nice pics, looks cool.
Just got 1 question why did you install your fuse holder so far away from the battery ?

where im from the fuse holder has to be installed at maximun 1 foot away from the battery by law.

just curious

I am going to be moving the fuse holder to a closer location to the battery. Pics have been updated, Didn't move it yet.

 

Just wanted to chime in and let anyone interested know that the install has been updated and new pics are online.

Awesome work so far. Any reason you didn't cover the holes in the doors with eDead?

 

no real reason, just didn't see the need.

 

I saw that a couple of you guys had custom made boxes for the subs that blend really nicely with the wall of the hatch.
Where did you guys get those? Did you build them yourself? I would definitely be interested in buying one, or making one if i have the right tools.

 

Rider69...where did you get your chrome bezels for yur instrument cluster????? I want one

 

Box question. I got mine from someone on the board named maxxbling. It turned out pretty good. here is the thread regarding the boxes.

I plan on eventually taking mine out and making a mold of it to make more.

On to the bezel question.. that is not really a chrome bezel. It is painted. here is the info:
