Any pics of audio systems?

I've been into the audio stuff lately and noticed that my 53 is lacking in a few departments. I'm eventually making some kick panels for a 6.5 component set with a 2 channel amp. I have been checking out the truck audio sub forum but wanted to post here too. So with all that being said anybody have any AD trucks with some custom, creative, or crazy audio setups?

Re: Any pics of audio systems?

I made some kick panels and with any luck I will be putting the finishing touches on a system for my 48 by this spring. It will consist of the following:
(4) Rockford Fosgate 6.5
(1) 4 channel Rockford Fosgate 400 w amp
(1) 10" Sub (not purchased yet)
(1) 1 channel Rockford Fosgate 100 w amp
Head unit - Sony XAV-62

Here are some pics. I need to build the rear structure where the amp's and sub will go. I have a center console

Nice! I like that custom work on the kick panels. How you finish off a console like that? Fiberglass? I'm not building one for mine but I'm just curious.

There are alot of different ways to finish it. Upholstery work if funny that way. I will wrap the console in 1/4" foam pad then wrap with faux leather (see sample below). I will also add carpet to the sides to tie in with the floor. I thought that if I glassed the console and painted it it would be too much shiny paint. I also have a couple ideas of detail finishes to tie it all in. I pretty much have eveything I need to start covering.
