    I have a similar set up in my truck Polk 651s and the sound ordinance amp.

    You should probably run the RCAs on one side of your truck and the power on the other. If I'm looking at your pic right, your RCAs are touching your power supply. That adds extra noise.

    Also, try to sound deaden your doors at least. The sound improvement is huge. Check out raamaudio.com for your needs.

    It has two microscopic mounting pins lol. They're weirdly off set for some reason too. I was thinking of finding these things that appear to be rubber washers with spikes that are holding on the Grillcraft emblem. I tried to get both in the picture, it's on the right.

    Anyone have a good suggestion for rear shocks when I put on a set of Dakars? 5125s? Is 8.5" long enough or should I go 10"?
