Do you have pictures on here of the dynamating you did?

I will soon, I'm not doing the traditional build thread like you are - I wanted to put down the photos when everything is done with a howto video on the interior mods I'm doing. It's been quite the project to say the least...I'm kinda sick of it and I ran out of mat again.

Here are the monster interconnects I just ordered and will be running from the audio processor to the amps... I should have already had them ready to go but I decided to replace my old Tsunami interconnects. I'm hoping to have them by thurs... The 6ch cables are for the full range and the 2ch of course is for the subwoofer.





I ran the inverter switch to the center console area, and decided to mount in on the inside wall of the console. It will fit perfectly next to the DVD changer and the gun and clips holsters.
I will be mounting the interior compartment form the center console on the mill this week to cut out the 2 1/2" x 10" rectangle out of the bottom of it so that the changer can pass through and be mounting on the metal underneath. I will also cover the plastic panel above the rear drivers side wheel well with fiber glass and buld it up enough to be able to support the 2 JL 12" W6V2's. I want to do this in place before any of the new carpet goes in, b/c I don't want any smell to remain....

Kinda a teaser sorry...

When you guys install things such as dynamat where you essentially have to rip the interior apart; do you just let the vehicle sit until you're done and drive a different one? Or do you drive it that way?

I drove mine for awhile with no door panels, or center console. But I'm lucky and I have another truck I can drive, so I just gutted it one day to finally finish her off.
If you wanted, the whole truck could be gutted with the driver’s seat bolted to the floor with no carpet so you can drive it to work or whatever while it is under construction. Be prepared for it to be crazy loud with road noise, and for it to be hot b/c the floor will heat up. I most likely would have taken this route if I didn't have other transportation.

or you just do it one section at a time, and do the Seating area of the floor on a saturday afternoon.
