Default Holiday break project begins Friday...

Pretty busy weekend coming up for me. Plan on lining trunk with dynamat, then exotic vettes insulation, run wires for audio system plan on using pdx 4x150 with some MB Quart QSD 216 front and rear and 1x1000 powering a JL audio TW5 sub with a stinger hybrid capacitor and Pioneer headunit with nav.

Also going to install MGW short shifter while i have everything apart.

By the way just received my raceramps and wheel cribs and they worked awesome for first dyi oil change.

Just wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks for anything im doing above. Ill post pics once im done.


Happy Holidays!

Migo

Where are you mounting the amp?

I'm particularly interested in cubby installations, as that's what I'll be doing.

Good luck, and take pics!
