For things I put together with exposed hardware I always use taper head titanium…so I had to order bolts for the subs and tweeters. I’ll have to turn the heads myself for the sub bolts…I could only find parallel head.

Of course you went titanium. Just think about the weight savings from those fasteners :LOL:

Man those mounts look FANTASTIC! Looks like it could be stock. Nice work! I'm glad my sub box will be hidden behind a panel as my finish skills are not up to par.

What did you use to get that mild "pebbled" look?

SEM texture spray. Videos make it look easy…I disagree. lol
I had to retexture the whole piece to get it to match. Even holding the can 24” away it was still heavy.

I did not see you mention where your remote turn on comes from for your amps. Would mind telling me? I'm hoping to pull from the factory amp but I'm not sure which wire it is.

I ran a switched 12V wire from the dash back to a relay…that turned on the DSP then the remote wires come off the DSP.
