Jack of all trades....master of none. LOL
I just figure this crap out as I go, man.
Sometimes it works and I post pics...sometimes it doesn't and I keep my mouth shut. LOL

Looking great Rich, best jobs are jobs you do yourself!!

Must sound AMAZING too. Any chance you will be at SDX this year? I'm still up in the air of attending but a chance to see and listen to your truck would make the trip worth while.

I back burnered the mirrors for now so I could concentrate on the interior makeover.
Yes...I plan on being at SDX.
Truck won't be painted but I'll still drive it up.

To kill reflections from the pillar mounted drivers. Same reason I'm taking my leather out and replacing it with cloth.
This will be a full-on sound quality install. A single 10" sub with 10 other drivers around the truck.

Sound would be my guess.

or the dash id cracked.... LOL


Man that looks good unbroken!!!! you have a lot of time into this..

Definitely no cracks in the dash. LOL
I have about 20 hours in the pillars alone. Probably another 20 in sound deadening and prep work.
Another days worth to get the other drivers in and door panels finished then I have to build a sub enclosure. I'll build one at about 1.75 cuft sealed then add baffles to shrink it inside to audition first before I build the final version.
I'd say I'll have 60-70 hours in it when it's done.

It's a necessity. Way too many reflections with pillar mounted mids....you either kill them or it sounds like ass.
