Agreed. The box in the Ram was two tone light/dark gray and it looked good. The more I look at it, the more I think doing it in floor carpet will make it look like a store bought POS.
Are you going to drive the car speakers through the amp also?
That is the plan. The amp is a 5 channel 1200w unit. I haven't decided if I am going to install front speakers, but if I do, they will be wired in too.
Keep us posted on your progress. I'm thinking of the same thing too.
