Sorry I haven't been keeping everyone updated. The past couple of weeks have become rather busy at work. But i have probably 80% of this project complete. I will try to get some more pics up soon.
Here is a list of everything I have completed thus far.
Subs are in the box and wired. Both batteries are in and wired. Center console has been built covered and wired. All main power equipment is installed.
I am able to play the subs and everything but I still have some work to do.
List of everything left.
1. Install 6.5" Components in the doors. And run all the speaker wire for that.
2. Install Keyless entry in the doors while installing 6.5's.
3. Wire 2-way crossover.
4. Install Viper security system.
5. Install new layer of Window tint. Current layer is not dark enough.
The epic-150 I have in the dash also measure sound pressure and I have already had it to a 148db without a tune or crossover installed. My goal is to top 150db.

i have 2 12s behind my seats sitting on top the the basket. it looks nices. the box is slightly slanted. i lost a lot of reclining room for my seat. i put the seat back till it hits the box or the back window.
well anyways inside the cab it sounds nice. i had my rear veiw mirror fall off so many times. but outside i cant here crap. well a little but the bass stays inside the cab for the most part. therefore i carry a huge ported 32hz box that i throw in the bed with the subs![Smile](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
oh oh and also my box is 3/4 mdf doesnt way a ton but i did notice that braking, handling, etc did change. especially the braking. i have to press down the peddle more which i didnt think would be the case being that its a truck and so it should be able to carry weight with no prob

Well everyone Friday was a very productive day for me. I took off my door panels, installed power door lock modules for keyless entry, ran the wiring for it and then pre drilled new holes for the mounting of my 6.5's for the door and completely re-wired the panel for the crossover and tweeter. And I added my usb cable to te CD-Player for my Iod Touch or other media. Also ran the speaker cabling from the amp into the dash to power the newly installed component set. Here comes the pictures.

I know the cernter console is a wiring mess but I still have some work to do. What is left is to install my Alarm system and another layer of window tint.
