Deadener should be here Friday. I doubt I'll get any work done since there is a car show in town this weekend but I want to do something. I will mount DSP and try to get the ground side of the Big 3 done sometime this week.

 

Daytime pictures

So far this is what the system will consist of, mids may change if I can't get the 8s to fit but we will see. I will use 2/0 welding cable for all main power/ ground runs, Knuconceptz wire for amps' power/ground wires and their speaker wire too. Second skin deadener for trunk and speaker tweeker pads in all 4 doors. I have some Soundskin speaker rings that I'll be using for my mids.

Some of the equipment from the previous build and wires since I always buy extra to have. Enclosure should be done either this week or next week and Im still waiting on the sub but no biggie until I get the trunk deadened. 

I will probably take this car to the shop to get some work done if I don't feel comfortable attempting it on my own. But I will try and get my hands dirty first before I go that route. I also need to find how to hook my AudioControl DSP to the factory setup. Stay tuned fellas.

Clean Ride.

Mostly paint correction and ceramic coatings. My 4runner is finished just have not posted pictures yet. 

Oh boy!  You are a brave man! 

Sound deadening has began 

All shiny and clean after the denatured alcohol treatment.

The left side is complete with deadner.

The right side is complete with deadner.

I'm finished for the day. Just need to get the spare tire area finished and she will be done.

I'm 80% done with the sound deadner, the trunk deck is next. I didn't do the under side yet because I don't feel like uninstalling the factory subwoofer till it blows or until my new Fi sub gets here. Doors will be next.

Sound deadening is complete and the trunk is all buttoned up. Thanks to @Second Skin

Power wire being ran on the driver side, 2/0 welding cable.

Speaker wire being ran on the passenger side, 16 gauge for horns and 14 gauge for mids. All Knuconceptz OFC wiring.

Speaker wire is ran on both sides of vehicle as well as the 2/0 welding power cable run. I just need to find grommet with some room or drill my own whole out 

Got her tinted this morning with 5% ceramic tint all the way around. Mounting temporary front stage amp, since my backseat is 22 inches long I'm going re look at amps and see what I want over the Crossfire 4 channel I been  over lately.
