LOL, my wife (in years past) actually used it on several occasions and then her aunt lost it. This one is still virgin but goes everywhere with her. She's definitely not a woman to be messed with, lol. Brother, if it could work out I'd definitely never turn down a chance to help. Thanks dude I appreciate it.

Thanks brother! I figure any progress is a good thing, lol. Speaking of progress, I have an update!! The false floor/amp rack is installed, hooked up, and the Bravox set has REALLY come to life now! That little Zapco ST-4D is a powerhouse for it's size and the Bravox CS603CS components are digging everything it's throwing at them bridged. The midbass impact went from definitely feeling it to almost feeling a little violent. It's a bit freaky to hear and feel the midbass like that and then take a close look at everything and it doesn't even look like it's working hard to do it. It's making me SUPER excited to get the SLS 8's shoehorned into the Jimmy! Here's some pictures of it completed. Here's the wiring connected at the battery. I ordered and used the new battery terminals that Knukonceptz has available. I wasn't horribly impressed with the first ones they had, which I used in the Jimmy. These are fantastic and tighten up on the terminals perfectly which was the issue I had with the other ones. These have three set screw connections, 1/0, 4 AWG and 8AWG respectively and a bolt on the side which can be used for ring terminals or, as in the case with my setup, with the available top post adapters that I used for the factory wires to connect to. All said and done it's a super solid setup and should serve me well for a long time. Here's the final wiring pictures of the amps in the amp rack. With everything connected there's not as much room as I had hoped for between everything but it should still all be far enough apart to prevent any issues. I can't wait to get the enclosure built for the DCON's so I can hear that Zapco Z-1KD do work. Being so close to the battery with the 1/0 wiring it shouldn't want for power at any time. Here's another shot of the remote knob for the Zapco and the remote controller for the Soundstream Harmony. I'm going to have to put a little finger nail polish or something on that LED for the Zapco knob but otherwise they're lit up and showing that things are ready to rock! Lastly here's a few pictures of the amp rack with the lid shut and it slid fully into position after setting the gains on the Harmony and the ST-4D. Because it's bridged I played with everything and got one side as close to just right as I could setting it by ear then used a 400hz tone and my DMM to match the voltage output of the 3/4 bridged channels to the 1/2 bridged channels. Well, that's it for now. I spent some time tuning the HPF, time alignment and EQ's for the speakers. I have plenty more tuning to do but the wife was too excited to get to go play with it for a bit to do any more today, lol. Time to start on a final design for the subwoofer enclosure and get started building that while looking for time to complete the fiberglass work on the front doors.
