Thanks guys, next will be the box. It should be pretty simple now that I've got the hard stuff out of the way. It will be fiberglass and MDF with the same blue LED lit accents.

Oh by the way, I made the trim piece out of 4.5" round tubing cut into quarters, mitered angles and I fiberglassed the joints (that is why they look wet.)

Wow this is legit, your trucks really looking great. I love the idea of the amps mounted on the roof.

Had no where else to mount them, LOL. I'm actually really happy with the way they are turning out. With my truck being so tall, people will look up that are driving next to me and see them. The blue LEDs really make them stand out at night. I can't wait to get it all buttoned up...

Here's another shot of the LEDs. In this picture, you can get a better idea of how bright they are. My wife and daughter are holding it up. LOL

I mounted my amps under the front seats. However, I love this. Legit.

I thought about that, but chose not to go the route because I wanted to show them off, I was worried about them overheating and I was worried they may get wet if someone got in my truck on a rainy or snow day. Thanks for the compliments!

where did you get the plastic sheets you used??

The production floor at work had some scrap so I scooped it up. I also got the white laminate from them.

Looks sweet! I am considering doing something similar....but I might do fiber glass. Do you lose any head room? Looking forward to seeing finished pix.
