RE: Some pics from my SRT-10 install
Ha ha, no I don't. I got some new ones I'll sell ya 
The truck already had 2 holes in the bed. Right on the front wall. We ran power in from under the hood down to the frame and fed it through weather proof tubing like they use for running wire under the ground in residential and commercial jobs. Bolted that stuff to the frame. Then ran it up between the bed an cab into the bed through the hole. With a custom made grommet in the hole of course. RCA's and speaker wires were a huge pain in the a$$. We ran those into the rear cab corner from inside the interior right below the rear speakers. From inside there if you remove a panel you can get inside one of the cross braces that run under the cab. Fished the wires through that, then they popped out at the very back of the cab and it's only about a foot from there to the hle in the bed. Everything was run through the weatherprove conduit. It took about an entire day to fish through all the corners and small spaces in the crossbraces and cab to get them out there. 3 sets of RCA's plus 10 sets of speaker wires isn't easy to fit through those tight holes and around corners.
But it was the cleanest and safest route so we had to do it.

RE: Some pics from my SRT-10 install
The amps are mounted in the bed, like shown in the pics. I didn't have to do any "trim" work to fit the box cuz I built it specifically for this application, so it fit perfect. The seat's can go ALMOST all the way back. I think we lost about an inch of room maybe. These trucks have a surprisingly large amount of room behind the seats. So that definatly helped.
We actually built another box nearly identical to this one, but sealed, a little bit less airspace and painted silver to match the interior trim. We didn't like how it sounded so we decided to port it and give it a little more airspace, so we built a whole new one, and decided the red would match better than the silver. So if anyone needs a fiberglass box for 4 tens for a regular cab 03-05 ram let me know! lol
