Here are a couple pics, I did a whole lot of filling last night and today. I can only do little sections at a time though with the heat that we are getting. I took a break last night and this afternoon to take my wife and dog out to the lake. It was to hot anyhow.

I don't think I'll be doing anymore today, to hot, and I'm about to make dinner, plus early bedtime because I go back to work tomorrow at 4 am.

Amazing job bro. It's good to see some originality; especially with the grills for the subs. One thing though, did you run your speakers wires right beside the power wire? If so that is a definite no no. You may get some feedback. You may want to rethink that one. Keep up the great work. Don't worry if no one answers this post. Everyone likes to sit back and wait for the finished product before putting in their .02 cents.

thanks.
Yes the speaker wires are running along the power wire. I tried to keep distance when I ran the wires. I think there was one or 2 spots where they touched. I was also thinking it should be alright because the speaker wires are shielded.. thanks for pointing that out, if I have any probs I'll look into that.

I'd still consider using a little loom if your going to leave them next to each other. Heck, loom both the power wire and the speaker wires....

Why not run the speaker wire next to the RCA cables? Isn't that what your suppose to do?
