Sorry, but no way lol hard to get myself to finish the one just for my truck! It was actually a lot easier than I anticipated.....just very time consuming. I got the lid on it and finished a lot of the little things that needed to be done, just waiting till I get the speakers and subwoofer in to add some more pictures. Sound system is suppose to come in next weekend. I also purchased CDL and MLV to get rid of a lot of the road noise and help the sound system out. Hopefully this time next week I will have all of that done and have some more pictures up.

Box is almost finished up, going to do some kind of trim ring since where the vinyl meets did not turn out as well as I liked. Probably going to by some sheets of ABS and cut 1" strips and chamfer the corners. Any other ideas for that?

Sounded the whole cab (minus the ceiling) the other day. This was a P.I.A. Used Nashua window tape from home depot. Was not as thick as Dynamat or products like dynamat, but I'm only doing an 8" sub so i figured it should be plenty. Plus I paid $25 for 35 square feet, compared to $150. Worked like a charm, glad I bought it instead of Dynamat. Also bought underlayment from home depot for my CCF layer, paid $45 for 100 square feet, only used 60 or so. Bought DB3 MLV from home depot, $60 for 60 square feet. Glued the CCF to the MLV using left over Landua glue from the console. Took some time but worked out great. Went for %100 coverage on the doors and about %30 on the floor and back wall. YOU DO NOT NEED %100 COVERAGE OF THE CAB for this stuff to do its job, typically %25-30 is plenty, so don't waist your money doing %100. Sorry did not take more pictures, but it was a long day and I forgot to take more. Worked out great though, with the stock speakers I'd say the bass output was about 4 times as much just from this.

Got all my audio stuff in today except for the 6.75" speaker to go into the console (on back-order). Went with the Soundstream VR-346B HU ($150 after buying the adapters and harness). Headunit looks great in the dash, great HU for the price. Went with the Rockford Fosgate P1572 for the doors and Rockford Fosgate P1675 for the console. Got the door speakers wired up to the amp today and they sound great! LOUD and do not distort, can't wait to hear it with the other pair hooked up too. Paid $50 for each set of speakers, can't beat these speakers for the price. Rockford Fosgate P2D2-8 subwoofer, wired to the amp at 4 Ohm. Great little subwoofer for the price, sounds great for rock and country (all I listen to). $60 for the subwoofer. And all powered by a Soundstream PN5.640D 5-channel amplifier ($150.00). This little amp is great! It is tiny, 5"x12", fit right underneath the console with no issue at all. Put's out 60 watts RMS x 4 @ 4 ohms for the speakers and 200 watts RMS x 4 ohm for the subwoofer. I will post up some more pictures when I finally got the console speakers in. Everything sounds great though, I am very impressed with the sound system for the amount I spent.

And, speakers and subwoofers installed. Anybody who likes rock and country, I highly suggest this sub! I was not overly impressed with it at first, but it broke in after a couple of days and I stuffed it with polyfill, and WOW! This thing sounds great..nice crisp, clean, punchy bass.
