I would have gone with tech flex rather then the loom, it takes it from looking good and clean to lookin sexy.... I used it in my stang and will use it in my truck probably as well.

I would try to slide a piece or two of mdf under the board your amps are mounted too, and then use the same number of pieces of mdf to shim your cover board out the same amount so the amp will still fit in the holes. You will probably loose a little of the smooth flow on the edges of the cover board and may need to re-cut a piece to fit but you would able to run the wires under the board the amps are on. Just a thought.

You have a little bit more experience the the average DIY'r, where did you get it from?

 

The sub box is surprisingly large, there is a lot of space back in that corner and it's molded to use every bit of it (see photo). It's supposed to be 1.23 cubic feet, while the sub specs 1.25 cubic feet for a sealed enclosure. What I can tell you is that it hits amazingly hard!

Thanks for the tip with the tech flex, I had not seen that stuff before. Great find!

I tried to do some rerouting yesterday to find that the power, ground, and one RCA are a little on the short side to come into the sides of the amp rack. I was able to clean it up quite a bit but it's not 100%. Perhaps I can build some sort of carpeted tray or sub-floor behind the rack to cover them. Adding anything to the top or bottom of the rack is not going to work, I really have to squeeze the thing in there at an angle to get it to fit as it is.

Back in the day I had a friend whose brother owned a car stereo shop. I spent a lot of time hanging around and helping out here an there. Was enough to learn the basics of working with MDF, carpeting, and good install practices.

beautiful install

 

Very nice install. Although its hard to tell from the picks did you leave enough breathing room for the amps? Thet look packed in pretty tight.

 

Great job man, that looks really clean.
