      As I picked my truck up in November 2013 it had 2 speakers in the front doors and only an AM/FM (no CD, no tape) headunit.

      I had to fix that. I did some custom paint while I had everything apart (easy because so many of the parts were off)

      First, I had to strip the truck so I could dynamat every square inch of interior. Both the sheetmetal, and the panels were done.

      Installed polk MM series speakers all around. 6.75″ components up front, and coaxial 5×7 in the rear doors

      Ran my wiring back and started designing the box.
      had to fabricate over the back trim piece as the jack was removed

      on a side project while I had the doors apart I went with aftermarket mirrors, painted them, painted the handles on the outside and the insert in the inner trim panel (liftgate handle too)

      I went with a ported & tuned enclosure with a single polk dual voice 12 MM series sub. Box volume about 1.8 cubic foot, tuned to 33 hz.
      Box to have a hidden chamber to store the jack, capacitor and crossovers

      used the factory rear seat fastener locations and bolt holes to secure the box in the event of a crash. The box has enough momentum at 50mph to cut my entire body in half if it were to come loose in the event of an accident.

      Installed the amp and box, and did some carpeting. Finished most of the edges too. I may do something further with the bottom opening where the sound comes out (this is downfiring obviously) but I haven’t decided yet.
