you happy with the 16 ga wire or do you wish you went for the 12? its a $20 difference what are your thoughts?

honestly you won't audibly notice the difference..
if you are running around 100 watts to your speakers 16 gauge is plenty

I have 16 on my tweeters and 12 on the mids, then 16 from the crossovers to the amp

any more updates on this?

Im running 100 per channel to the speakers only thing i hear bad about the 12 ga is its harder to work with in the dash... I just don't want to spend a grand on door speakers and not put the correct wiring in.

16 is overkill for only 100 watts on an a/c circuit. It's just a convenient size to use.

12ga would be a waste of money, and time.

Had to fab up a bracket for the back doors wich was a PITA...

I will start my own thread I don't want to pirate this one.... It was way more work than I thought it was going to be But well worth it.

It's been awhile since I did some major work on th truck. My shoulder poped out and back in over a month ago so I have been taken it easy letting it tighten back up (old college football injury). But I'm back! Here is today's work, I have been working on the center console. I took the wood grain plastic off the cup holder piece and epoxyed it back on to basically make it one piece. Then I hit it with a little tiger hair to build up the corner to match the front monitor piece and smooth things out. It still needs a little more tiger hair and then some filler to smooth it out before it gets leathered. The front monitor piece is nearly there, just one more hit of filler and some hand sanding should match it up and smooth it out before leather. I have finished the rear monitor piece and she looks sweet. All pieces will get hit with a quality primer to seal things up before leather. I also finished up some of the dynamat on the roof. Better pics and progress tomorrow...

Hit the cup holder piece with a little more tiger hair and filler to match it up with the front monitor piece. Just a few touch ups to both and it should be good to go for primer.
