:eek: :eek: that's a lot of work!! I'll be watching this thread for tips and new ideas
 
Dual alternator kit from Nations Alternator. They are 2 275 amp alternators powder coated black with 0 gauge running directly to their batteries

Optima Red Top for the primary alternator that will control the truck
08-11-07KnightInteriorMods004.jpg


Stinger 1700 deep cycle battery for the secon alternator that will control amps, compressor, and inverter so far.

The fuse box wont be in that location, instead I'm going to put the compressor in there and have the wall that is cut out lined with plexiglass
 
FatMat on all panels and inside doors

It didn't take long cause my nephew was rolling down the mat while I was putting it on and cleaning the floor with the vacuum cleaner

It is raining today, so I'll install the new black carpet that I got in today

Also to note with this door pic, I am running new 12 gauge speaker wire to the doors and also pre wiring the door so that when I get the light houses for the rear door, the wire is already ran and tapped in the light system.

Alpine w505 installed with all RCA's ran with steering wheel interface, video bypass, and all RCA's ran for monitors, amps, and a backup camera for later. All RCA's and wires have been labeled so I know exactly what they are for.

Denali center console that is modifed with the Av's A/C system and back panel. Still need to modify the storage compartment so it will fit now with the A/C system in it. The back panel where the RSA controls was at will be changed to power outlets from the inverter.

10" moniter headrest installed

BedSlide in, dont have it in carpet yet because I plan to cut in a trap door to open up and allow access to the false floor i'm going to build soon which will hold the 4channel amp, mono amp, inverter, strobe controllers.

This is kind of an idea I have with the false floor with my amps and stuff mounted under the bedslide. Thinking of plexiglass on top of it with LEDs to make it change colors. The extra fuse panel I have I was going to put in my Chevelle but I thought I'd use it in the Av so that I can have one location to have to change fuses to all my new accessories.

And since it is wet outside and I can't put my black carpet in today, I figure I minus well do something. So what I'm doing is the door pods for my truck's rear doors first.

It looks like you have some good help.  (y)
 
What are your ideas on the sub enclosure?? Will it ride over the top of the bedslide?

I got 3 ideas:

Option 1: make a false midgate and attach the fiberglassed box to the back of it. The would let me drop the gate and have a full bed again and have a place for the rear window to sit.

Option 2: Make the box mount to the tie down hooks close to the midgate and have it stationary. Make the backside of the box plexiglass and still allow for a place the rear glass to be stored

Option 3: Make the box part of the bedslide and let it roll with the bedslide. Make the bedslide motorized to help with the weight of the box(Already going to do this anyway)

I'm on the second coat for my door pods now

I like taking my rear glass out, so thats a major factor in how I build the sub box

Long time no see. Where you been? Black wheels rock.

I've been traveling with my job since last year. I'm finally back at home for a few weeks and decided to get all MODs I've had sitting in boxes for over a year done. I know its been a long long time since I've talked to you or my Av's "grey twin"
 
its pics like this that make me glad I dont have a garage.  I'd be trying to sell mine and have it torn apart at the same time.

The AV is gone. I traded it in about a year ago.
