Installation Description
Started off by stripping down the whole interior to bare metal taking out the seats, carpet, cables, door panels and roof panel. Installed Dynamat on the whole interior, doors, roof, floor and back panel. In total almost 128 sq feet. Then installed the head unit and all the new monster cables for the speakers and the amp wiring kits from street wires. After the cabling was done, the amps were located under the seats and then the new speakers on the doors with the adapters. Finally mounted the new 12" sub on a custom vented box on the back bench and tied it down with strap-ons on the stock hooks provided for the car seat. calibrated the speakers with low pas filters on the amp and the sup with high pass filter and bass boost. The sound is Clean Clear and Loud thanks to the Dynamat.

What kind of seat covers are those? I'm considering getting custom leather, but I actually like the look of yours better. If they're seat covers, were you able to get them to stay nice and snug or do they get that stretched out look like most. Nice truck and amazing job!
