I have to fully agree with KMAC on this. Pretty good looking components in those kick panels.... LOL! Definitely a well thought out and meticulous install! Cheers bro!

So with this large audio upgrade the power cables must be upgraded as well as the grounds. I found that the alternator charge wire to be greatly undersized at 8 gauge. That has been bumped to 4 awg and the main stereo power is at 0 awg. New grounds too. My side kick was a great help today. It was about 25 degrees with wind. I had her warm my hands up every so often...lol

I am fortunate. My kids are grown and gone and I have managed my bills in such a way that I can go the extra mile to a extent. We also breed yorkies and soon rotties too. It all helps. That and my truck was gone for so long I was able to stock pile projects. I want to get better pics and update my Sig but won't drive my truck till she is back together.

Got some more stuff done today. 0 gauge primary power and ground. 4 gauge to the sub amp and 8 gauge to the mid's and high's amp. Relay wired in for the amps and Cap remote line with a future added in in case I decide to install some fans later. The fuse is a 250 amp. The distribution blocks are EFX. Starting to come together....slowly but surely.




For those of you that want to install your own stuff here is a web site that will help you with power cable and speaker wire sizes and their capacities.
Hope this helps someone out. As far as I know I was one of the first to install subs behind the seats of a supercrew 12 years ago. It is challenging
but well worth it in the end. I have had stuff together then ripped apart more than once trying to engineer how it all goes together with the limited space
our trucks have. I know it's not perfect but nothing ever is truely perfect. Hell I'm trying though...lmao

Your system has certainly become pretty complex! I need to get new door speakers that can handle more when mine blow and get an amp on them. Yours must sound pretty killer, huh?

I haven't heard it yet, but with what I have going in it should sound pretty damn good. I'm waiting on an other member to send my some carpet and stuff so I can finish up the seats. I have been waiting on installing the rear door panels so it gives me more room when I start on the rear seats.

Gotcha, I'm sure it will sound great! Your entire truck is pretty much custom in one way or another at this point

Pretty much. I keep coming up with more stuff I want to do. She is my hobby and keeps this Marine out of trouble. I post everything I do hoping that someone will use the information and save themselves some heartburn.
