F150Truck'in Audio System Upgrade Underway..
Got started on it today, so far I stripped the old amps out, caps, 4 ga, rca's... cleaned the wall with alcohol, deadened it, fitted the MDF and got the 1/0 though the fire wall, that was a Royal BISH....
Now its Miller Time... https://www.f150online.com/galleries...169-199022.jpg https://www.f150online.com/galleries...169-199023.jpg https://www.f150online.com/galleries...169-199024.jpg https://www.f150online.com/galleries...169-199025.jpg |

That is looking great! I wish I had the foresight to deaden mine before I installed my amps. Keep the pics coming so I can live vicariously through you!

Ok, back on track...
I didn't get many pics today as I was mainly rerunning speaker wire to get the longer runs I need to move the Germs Xover to the rear wall.. Test fitting amps and power blocks for wire routing.. Did pull both front doors down to get the tweeter and xovers out... Finished running the 1/0 to the rear... did get pics of that and a close up going though the firewall... I'll more than likely be working on this more in the evenings this week... though the firewall https://www.f150online.com/galleries...169-199098.jpg down the kick panel https://www.f150online.com/galleries...169-199099.jpg running in sill plate https://www.f150online.com/galleries...169-199100.jpg |

I end up just getting regular black loom... it will be on there before it goes live.... |
Ahhh, gotcha :thumbsup:
