New to this forum...member of several other car audio related. I am in the process of installing the system in my sig in my 06 Dodge Ram Megacab. I have 2 weekends in the first door. Whats not shown here is why it took that long. I did a cutout in the bottom of the door panel for the crossover that allows the cover to be removed for adjustments. I also backlighted the crossover in amber LEDs to match the head unit. Top photo is where the tweeter connects in...didn't want a connector. I did a bunch more Roadkill after the last photo. BTW...this is for the fine folks at Chrysler....WTF with the connector for the door to the body? Sheesh.

At this rate I'll be done when the next music media format rolls out.....

    Loks very good. Good wire management.

    As a fellow Ram owner, I might suggest making sure you slap at least a layer of damping on the crossmembers inside the door itself. I had a problem with mine buzzing a little.

    Great minds think alike! We slapped 2 more sheets in the door after these photos were taken.

    That's a mighty clean wiring job. I can only hope mine turns out this well once it gets underway.
