The truck now has 1200 watts of audio goodness!
Here is some info:

I finally finished the wiring for all the speakers. It's pretty stealthy. Can't be seen from outside the truck unless the seats are forward. I have one little detail to take care of then it's finished!
All my speakers are the Polk dB series. It sounds very good and it is incredibly clear all the way up to about 95% full volume and then it gets scratchy, almost like the amp runs out of oomph. But, at 95% full volume, it's pushing about 130 dB. That's called way too loud!
I think I built the sub box a tad too small though because it doesn't quite reach down to 10 Hz. That is good though. At 11 Hz, the human body resonates and you get sick and lose equilibrium. Bad for driving. The upper end extension is well above 25kHz, almost to 26. Eventhough the human ear can hear only up to 20-21 kHz, it's good to have the extra entension. Means that no detail in your hearing range is being missed. A human being's effective frequency perception range is about 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Anything else, you can feel but can't hear.
I'll try to get pictures up at a later time. I didn't take any during the install process. It was butt-freakin cold and raining for most of the install. Didn't feel like wasting a 900 dollar digital camera for the sake of a few pictures of my interior in pieces.
