Trust me.........I know. :oops:

Its shocking how things can get put to the back burner so easily. I've been building my fence, looking for work, helping friends with other projects and just plain tired when I'd have a couple hours to throw at it......

Now to tune this bitch and make her scream.................

That's looking good! Looks quite similar to my SRT setup.

It sounds pretty good too right out of the box. The HU I have has more shit to play with than I've gotten to yet so it sounds better every song.

I still think you should make a trim panel for the amp, even if you don't plan to use the trunk. It will make it look "flushed in" just like the sub. Much cleaner without all the exposed wires too. I bet you could whip one up in two hours... you can use real thin fiber board, or even a thick cardboard.

I'll have to play with that Tom. The main thing is getting the panel in front of the amp out should I need to get to the spare tire. I also refuse to make it look shitty so I'll have to see if it could be made out of thin metal and painted.........

Instead of angling it all the way down to the floor, you could put a square edge right at the ridge of your spare tire access panel.

I'm not sure sheet metal is a good idea because you would risk shorting the amp out.

I am making a trim panel for my roadster but I am going to make so the connections at the bottom still show. Took too long hunting that crap down to hide it all.

A trim panel here might not look too bad I also wonder about a single neon tube under the amp.

I have afew of the PG neons from the tantrum line I plan to use someday. I was gonna use a set in this install but I couldn't work it out to my liking so I scrapped the idea. I still might use them down the road if it still tickles my interest........

That it would be :mrgreen:
I like playing with the HU's features because of how easy they are to get too.... Now actually making adjustments while the car is in motion is another storybut being able to use the remote to do it makes things alittle easier.
