I got issued a ticket on december 30 for going 5 over 55...weak sauce. Especially since the 31st would have been my 2 year window for taking defensive driving to make it go away...
You do understand that they wouldnt know about the other ticket in court at that time.... (Or at least thats how it works here.... I have a license still b/c of that. I love the gas pedal....)

I honestly quit taking pics as I went. I pretty much ripped up all I did and redid it. Im very picky. So, im finishing the amps today (as soon as I get off here.) and puttin the rear seats back in. I hope to also get the front doors done (was waiting on my Jasper Jig).

I might start tomorrow on the sub boxes while I wait on security screws for the sub's and the one-off rear cam mount.

We need the Jeopardy theme song right about now.

This install is boring anyways. You should quit and start installing those Dyns.

Naw, it was automatic. I even called the courts and tried to see if I could redo my defensive driver course in hopes that the cop didnt file his paperwork on time. Oh well.

what would you want in return for the tweets? I, for the life of me, cant find any matching spots on the door panels in my truck that doesnt involve me cutting into the leather/vinyl, which I dont really posses the skill to do. And those kappa tweets are so big that a mount liek what you made would have to be made for the A-pillar.

A set of tweets only is stupid simple.

A SHARP razor knife in vinyl works very well. Just use a hole saw from the rear, cut almost all the way through. Cut a small hole in the middle, then grab a heat gun and work it around. Its fairly easy.

Well I figure a few updated pics would be nice. (there was a period of a week and a half i was in Colorado and couldnt work on the explorer.)

The doors:





The doors were fully resined and matted front and back.

The A-Pillars (I wallowed out the Left mid on purpose. Thats why the screws are there, to hold it for the drive to Colo.)

Speakon connectors for the removable sub boxes (THESE THINGS ARE GOD!)



The amps (almost done, still have to add plexi and lights. And also build the Xovers up to level with the amps. I will have the speaker wire run underneath.)


The amps can hide away under the factory panels

Never seen those before. What do they do? Allow easy disconnect if you need to remove the box(s)?
