Cleaner look. I dig it. What kind of wire did you use to make your RCA's? I thinking of making my own,also. That way i don't have to find a place to hide all the extra wire.

Thanks for answering ttocs!

I had two days off this week due to compensation for a business trip that will start Saturday. Will fly to Sao Paulo. :drool:

Never the less i used the two days off to work on the car. I finished connecting all the speakers, ran all the power supply wires from the Basscube, the Linedrivers and the Crossover to the hideoutboot for the DD5 on the other side of the trunk.

I now have a two Power Cell 4000 batteries hidden in the trunk and also a 75A Power supply to charge the batteries when the car is parked in it´s shed. A nice little power supply board with all the fuse holders on it is almost done as well.

I also took myself some time to fool arround with the lighting in the car. More to come when i´m back from the business trip...

A lot has happen since i last posted here. The DD5 found it´s new home in the left side boot and the spare tire boot is housing my new battery and all the needed power and ground distros now. The rack for the 3 MS2250 Nickels is ready as well.

Sorry for the bad pics, but i only had my phone with me last time.

Wait until u see 3 of the Nickels installed. :drool: The only reason why i go with these is the extra headroom of the 2250´s.
