the 2nd and 3rd layer of fiberglass mat I layed up using this sun cure resin witch im assuming is comparable to SMD sunflash resin but is more widely used in the surfboard world this stuff is amazing so much more user friendly and easy to work with If I would have used this from the start I would have saved 24 full hours of work on this project, if I knew better but you naturally need some decent sun to make it cure quickly

To give myself and my skin/lungs/eyes a break from sanding and glassing I move onto getting the amplifier installed in the little area right under the factory amp on the drivers side pocket I removed all panels all the way up to the kick panel in the front to run the bass *** wire which were just attached by hex screws and the little pop out clamps this picture is of this little cover for a vent that I had to remove to fit the amp in

The next step was to make myself some ferrules for the 1/0 guage wire to connect to the amp and then solder everything using a butane torch

to fit all the wire under the panel I had to trim the plastic on the backside of the panel slightly and notch the body panel using a sawzawl....lol kind of nerve racking but it came out perfect in this location after I was her the amp was pretty much permanently in place

my connection to the factory subwoofer NO SCOTCHLOCK connectors I absolutely despise those POS connectors either solder butt connect or don't do it at all

After tuning I was able to get clean power at 4.5 or so volts out of the lc2i and then 55 volts out of the amp this part is imperative to do when installing any car audio setup
