when i was 16 my buddy taught me how to install a radio
i guess you can say i was bit by the 12v bug cause ive been hooked ever since
ive mainly taught my self by just trying
also the internet is a huge help
over on SMD forun its aton of nice people always willing to help
its very easy once you get into it

if you ever start on a project like this you can message me if you need any help im always happy to help with this kind of stuff

Looks nice and clean!

thanks! that what i was going for
once the box goes in and the seats are folded up you will see no wire whatso ever
you will only hear that 18" bangin on 2200wRMS of clean unclipped power in a efficent box
