What a pain in the arse...
Just completely gutted my Yukon. Redone the headliner, thouroughly cleaned and power washed everything.
Also relocated my amp and installed better wiring.

Damn, thats a ton of work. Seeing as you are a little bit of an audiophile, and while you are there, I personally would have ran power and ground wires under there as well as a nice set of RCA's just in case you opt to expand your system someday.

I ran 0 gauge down the driver side to a dist. block under the rear panel along with remote wire and bass knob wire down the middle and 2 sets of rca jacks down the pass side all cutting across the back to the panel.

I separated the wiring like this to eliminate any interference or noise.

I also grounded from the rear seat bolt to a dist. block and from the rear tiedown bolt to the dist. block so I can have an extra ground just in case.

I looks good. How are you liking that little RE 8? Did you do any sound deadening while you had it all torn apart?

The re8 was decent.
I had it powered off the factory unit and it did fine until I got something bigger.

Finances wouldn't allow for any sound deadening other than a little foam and hotglue to get rid of some rattles.

I unplugged the 8 and just have a kicker 15 powered by a pioneer 8601.

This whole adventure started with a rewire to clean things up and keep the kids from trampeling on the wires since they like to climb.
We also venture to the drive in often and it makes for easy removal of the sub.

I got to cleaning this and that and before I knew it everything was out.

Figured it was tore down that far I might as well fix the sagging headliner.

How difficult was it to remove the headliner? Mine is sagging a little in the front and I am wanting to remove it and tighten it up? I am yet to find a write up for it.
