[QUOTE="Original wis, post: 8806063, member: 685344"] A quick update: I'm still working on a build I'm just kind of in this in between state where I'm deciding which way is going to be the best way to go next. I've done some cosmetics upgrades that are completely independent of the sound system. The next big steps that I need to take are to fiberglass the kick panels for the three and a half speakers, figure out the amp rack, build the box, and a thousand little things that go into those that I'm forgetting. I won't lie. I feel like I've reached a brick wall in the system design and I'm having a difficult time figuring out how to get around it. But that's part of the learning process. I've been asking questions about other parts of the system, getting input from others. But today I realized that it's just a delay tactic so that I can justify not facing the real problems that I've run into. The biggest issue is the amp rack. Because it has to be mounted vertically behind the subwoofer box so that when I open the trunk of the car is the first thing that I see. There isn't enough room in the trunk behind the box to mount everything horizontally. It's going to have a false bottom so that the wiring can be run below it to the battery and the box. Instead of being a single piece of wood it has to be a box measuring 30" wide x 16" tall x 4-5" deep. The plan is to secure it to the spare tire cover with bolts to keep it in place since there's not a way to bolt it directly to the back of the subwoofer box. It's always become a real problem. But once I get it figured out I'll give you a guys an update on the progress and continue on to the finish. Lewis King [/QUOTE]
