    Very clean so far - nice job! :thumbsup: What is right above (what I'm guessing is) your bass volume knob? Is that a power indicator light for the amp or something?

    Loving the wire management, I couldn't be that organized ever lol and that plastic cover on the TwK 88 is giving me anxiety, removing the plastic wraps off electronics is a guilty pleasure of mine.

    First thank you all for the comments! Means a lot!! The plastic is coming off..lol! The knob that has the led light above it is for the TWK 88 control volume..It lights up different colors for different presets.

    Good stuff Richard - looking nice! Glad to see this going finally.

    I'd love to hear your thoughts on the cameras once you've spent some time with them. I see too much crazy stuff on the road not to share with the world. Just this week, on 2 different days, I saw 2 tractor-trailers driving down the road on fire o_O:der::notsure:

    Props on the labeling! Makes things much easier down the road! We hope in 10 years we remember everything we did, but usually that isn't the case.
