Very unique setup! I like it! Keep up the great work! Your setup gives me some ideas for what I am going to do in the future.

Hey bro where did you get those round things that your wires are going into? and what are they called? I want to get some so that my wires are not just poking out of the slit that I cut in the carpet.

Here's the pic. Its the round black thing that your wires goes into and makes it look professional.

thanks man, i have kind of put the trim panel on the back burner till i finish everything else im working on ATM...

they are called grommets, i got some from home depot or lowes BUT most of them came from my local audio shop. the home depot/lowe's ones were soft and i wanted a hard plastic grommet instead....

ty, its not even close to being done now....even though im putting down about 2600 amps to that sub it isnt getting the power from it im wanting. they are RMS rated to 2000 watts but these things dont typically "burp" till about about 8000-10000 watts so i may have to step up to a different amp or add another HCCA25001 and "stack" them as they call it. i dunno yet....been on the phone with RE Audio/Fatbox for the last few days working over specs and power.

dont get me wrong this sub is banging its *** off and its amazingly clean but i want more destruction from it (i know i wont get alot though with my whole car being dynamatted though)
