No, I am using the factory wiring for the speakers in the doors. I am interfacing with the factory wiring with the amp bypass harness that was provided with the Axxess AX-DSP-A2B2 unit. You can see this in the pic below. Sorry can't offer any advice for running new speaker wires into the doors but I think I have seen some posts in this forum that talk about and have pics of running wires into the doors.

Looks great...I imagine it sounds as it looks. Been contemplating adding a sub I have laying around to upgrade over my B&O sub. You may have inspired me.

Default Amp Rack

How did you mount the amp rack under the seats - looking at doing the same thing but unsure how to go about mounting it.
Looks awesome!

Right now the amp rack is just sitting in the cubby area. With the dimensions I used and the wiring on the underneath of the rack it, it sits just right. I have tried to slide it around and it does not want to move at all. I am still working out a few ways to secure it. I am thinking about using some strap and bolting the rack to the stock subwoofer bolts. Take a look at the sketch in the pics below. Like I said, still working that out and I am definitely open to any ideas.

For anyone interested, the dimensions of the amp rack are 29 in long by 11 in wide and 1/2 in thick. This dimension fits just right and spans the concave area in the floor. This allowed me to mount the distribution blocks and power/ground wiring underneath the rack. You can see this in the first post.

Here is a couple of pics of the negative battery connection for a fellow F150 community member.

Had a little time this evening and was able to get one of the A pillar pods mocked up. Next will be to cover the pods in vinyl to match the dash, then sound deaden and CCF.
