Such a manly-man, to use pink wires and such...

Other than that, looks awesome! I can't wait to see the amps mounted.

Grounds, a mysterious thing...

...I was at the dealer the other day talking about a system for my (not yet owned) new vehicle, and we got on the subject of grounds.

Apparently it's a good idea to run them all to the same ground (obviously), but run a cable (0 AWG) from that ground to the same ground that the alternator is connected to. Seems a little excessive, although I can kind of see the reasoning behind it... kind of. Did you do this?

I've always just removed the paint and grounded directly to the shiny metal... Different strokes for different folks?

Lucky me, I don't have to worry about an alarm! in the past 12 years I have never locked my car at home or/and at work! it's expensive to live around here but it's very safe. knock on wood!

I would go with tweeters too.

Even though those mids are kinda small in diameter, they look bulky for the A-pillars.

Is that sub enclosure large enough for that woofer?
It looks too small.

( just some fast observations from a guy who does not claim to know everything )

Teach me, `O mighty guru.
