    Did the second coat on the speaker box. Ran the power wire from the Aux battery, mocked up the ground (just need to crimp the eyelet and bolt it to the floor)

    Ran the speaker wire to the rear door speakers. Fabbed adapter plates and mounted the rear door speakers. Pulled the front driver door panel and replaced my door handle... Then I ran out of daylight.

    Brought the party inside... ran some of the power ground and remote wires and mocked up the amps... my wife LOVES IT when my projects come in to the kitchen counter </sarcasm

    Had to make adapters for the front speakers.

    The adapter is isolated from the sheet metal with bituthene.

    Ended up ditching the subwoofer grates, and fabricating my own out of 3/16 x 3/4 flat bar. The grates were too close to the subwoofers and they were hitting the back of the grate when the sub hit.
