Mounting 2 big amps

[ForOffRoadDriving]

once you pull out the plastic panels on the sides of the cab that go around the jump seats then you can remove the back panel that the cargo net is screwed to. this panel is made out of plastic and is covered in carpet already. there are 2 brackets on the back wall, if you look closely at the pictures where i glued the wood up to the wall you will see the notches i cut out to clear the brackets. these brackets are for the top 2 scews of the cargo net, so you can use them as a reference point to size up you amps and come up with a mounting plan before you tear everything apart. i chose to cut slots in the back side of plastic panel so that my wires could travel behind the panel and then pop out right at the terminals on the amps. this set up took me about a month to plan and 50 hours total to complete. i blew both of my subs yesterday so im shopping and reworking my plans a little (gotta make a trim ring for my subs to sit on top of so my box will be a little deeper.)

im running dual batteries, 130amp alternator, 2 ga pos and neg battery cables (i made them myself), 2 ga power from battery to dist block, then 6ga to each amp. im still getting a little bit of head light dimming, but i didnt notice it much until the day they blew, so i think they were just trying to warn me before it was too late. im looking at buying these jl 8w1v2-4 http://www.dealercostcaraudio.com/8w1v2-4.aspx; i can get a pair for $140 new, just have to buy the grills from crutch field (i cant believe theyre the only ones who sell them? maybe im not looking hard enough)
