Thanks a lot guys. You all know how to make someone feel his effort wasn't wasted. After all, you all are my biggest critics because who better to know what something is supposed to look like in these trucks, us right? If I get an approval from all of you, then I think I've done OK.
Bill, every piece of my system wasn't bought at one time. Like most anyone else, I bought it as I needed/wanted it.
The front speakers are mounted in the Q-Logic kick panel enclosures. I have a pair of Rockford Fosgate FNX2406U FanaticX 6" midrange/bass speakers. The tweeters in the Q-Logic's are some from a set of Cerwin Vega 4.2's. The 4" woofers are long gone, so I used the tweeters. The fronts are powered by a Pioneer GM-X552 amp, 50 watts x 2.
The rear speakers are as you see, two 12" Sony Xplods subs, and I also added two Radio Shack tweeters in the upper two corners of the box. They are powered by a Crunch P2200 amp, 200 watts x 2.
The CD receiver is a Pioneer DEH-P8400MP. The biggest reason I bought this receiver is so I can play mp3's. Also it being on sale played a part too. This is one fine piece of equipment. It has more adjustments than anyone could ever imagine. Real nice indeed.

The Zeb This is where I bought my CD receiver, Rockford Fosgate mid's, Crunch amp, and Xplods.
Capt,
I plan on going by the upholstery shop and see what he can do about covering the rest of my interior to match the console. I talked to him about it when I picked up the console/box. He told me there would have to be seams in the dash, which I knew. The door panels will also need to be seamed, but I think he can do it at the armrest so it won't be noticed. The dash, well I'm not sure yet. I'm taking the truck over this time so we can come up with a plan.
Jeff,
I will drive it, but not in the rain, well not very much, and never in the snow/ice. We don't get a ton of the stuff down here, but when we do, they go crazy with the slag junk salting down the roads. Just the thought of salt getting under my truck about makes me sick to my stomach.
Once again folks, thanks for your compliments. They are well taken and appreciated.
