One less thing to do this weekend, the Shrockworks second battery tray is installed. Had to move the power steering fluid reservoir and a little AC line. Not too bad of a job.

It's always good to have a plan right?
Friday:
- Sound deaden the floor from back seats forward. 3 hours
- Install black hole tile in front doors. Apply MX-4 deadener to doors. Install speakers. 2 hours
Saturday
- Remove old wire. Run all new power, ground, remote, speaker wires, RCA's, and optical. 8 hours
- Install a-pillars. 1 hour
Sunday
- Install CD Changer. 1 hour
- Hook up head unit and dsp, get steering wheel controls working. 3 hours
I left work a little early today to get a little work done. I added additional sound deadening to my doors, switched out my speakers to some new ones, and ran a new speaker wire in each door.
I started by putting some Sound Barrier MX-4 on the bar behind the speakers.

Next I installed almost 1/2 a box of Black Hole Tiles in each door.

I attempted to checker board them everywhere except directly behind the speakers.

Next I put a layer of Sound Barrier MX-4 on each door.

Next, Knu OFC wires.

Last but not least, I installed the new Audible Physics Brahma 6W's.

One bonus picture, my new Brahma 6W and V2.

Those are some great looking drivers, can't wait to read your review of them!
I took a short video of the door sound deadening "tap test". I've never heard anything like it.

So far today I've managed to finish up the sound deadening, for now at least. I plan to put a layer of Sound Barrier MX-4 on the back three doors later on.

I hate wiring up a system. I worked 8-1/2 hours today and didn't get everything hooked up. Still have to run power wire, RCA's, hook up distribution blocks, hook up head unit, DSP and hook up batteries.
I think installing techflex and heatshrink makes the job take twice as long.

I applied a drop of CA glue to all of the zip tie holders to make sure they stay in place.

I worked outside in the heat doing wiring from 7:30 am until 3:00 pm again today. That's not easy on a fat boy. I'm getting closer though.
Head unit wires up. Everything soldered and covered with heat shrink. I'm getting power for the head unit from a distribution block in the rear of the vehicle with OFC 12 gauge wires.

Wires all routed to keep power away from signal cables. The cable tie downs all received a drop of CA glue and spaced at 6" to 7" apart. All wires are protected with Techflex except the head unit power wires because they are very well protected in their insulation. I used KnuKonceptz KL3 Kable.

I also managed to get my pillars installed. I had to remove the lower mount for the ole shit handle in order to fit the passenger side pillar. Totally worth it.

Better picture of the pillars later but here's one to hold us over.

For connectors for the 2's and tweets I used XT60 quick connects.

My goal was to have it playing today. I fell short of my goal. So, I'm calling off work tomorrow. :)
Wow, you're going whole-hog!
I'm trying my best.Quote:
