Few more photo updates. My server is acting up so I just uploaded them to the site here...

Fiberglassed the boxes for the front doors (and made a custom panel)

Mounted the 3rd battery

Started building the amp rack (the triangles are our company logo btw)

More to come soon

Here are a few pics. Got busy and didn't take many along the way, but basically the update is...

-All of the pillars (A, B, C, etc) are all covered in black Suede and re installed in the truck (looks so much better)
-The midbass boxes are installed in the front doors and we will start door panels to cover them as soon as the trunk is done
-We scrapped the LOGO amp rack and will be doing something different (the curved piece in the center you see in the pic is just a template for plexi
-Tom has covered some of the panels in vinyl, suede and brushed aluminum and its really starting to look like something.
-The plexi we have ordered thus far should be in soon (which includes the port :yahoo: )

That bad boy is slow and steady. Looking bad ass. Quality installs do not happen overnight. Look good

Another Update:
Enclosures are done and the amp rack has begun. The Amp Rack should be pretty damn cool, I've already seen the brackets Tom designed for it and I love the idea! Mike started working on the placement of the ZR 6.5" Woofers in the front doors as well (Pictured below).

Are the amps going in at angles in the cut cement forms. Or slid in the slots horizontal?

The amps are being slid into the slots at angles toward the outside (so it will look like a "V" row of amps). Tom designed brushed aluminum brackets that the amps will rest on that look very cool and "curvy" to match the rest of the design. He was supposed to work on it today and tomorrow but we had two big clients come in and need work done ASAP so I am bumped till next week. I'll post pics as it progresses!

I am interested how you are going to hide the wires. It's a cool concept. Hope it pans out. Will tube be black suede or acrylic.

The back side of the amps are being slid into the tubes so the wiring will all run down the tube (and there will be an end cap on it). The tube will be covered in Suede and there will be LED lighting under the amp rack. We already have a custom curved piece of plexi made to go over the entire thing that will have brushed aluminum strips running down the sides to match the enclosures.
