[QUOTE="NFrazier, post: 8435398, member: 571239"] Client came to us looking for an upgrade from his factory Bose system. Wanted something with a little more volume but more importantly better definition, balance, and overall output quality. After some consultation we decided on product that would work best for him to achieve his goals; he sourced the product and we got to work. There were a few necessities that the client wanted that made this vehicle, with the product chosen, a little more difficult including full access to his spare tire. First we ran the power and ground right to the battery and make our speaker output harness. Everything was wrapped in cloth tape to match the factory wire packs and appear factory. I soldered our connections at the factory amplifier plug and heat shrunk out connections and the bare ends from the output side of the amplifier.
