Amp Install Pics
Amps are finished (except for hooking speaker wires up to subs). I took some pics of everything I did. I would put wire loom on these if this was a show truck or something--but it's not. My back seats are going to be over all this so no one is ever going to see it.
Pics are uploading now. Will be posted shortly.

PICS!!
Amp Power Wires from Battery
Easiest way to run it is over wheel well to a grommet on rear passenger side
Still need to run cable protector but for now this is fine
View from front to rear--running through frame
Crossover fits in here nicely. Ran all new speaker wire. Old speaker wire was pinched in door panel at arrow.
Took a poor shortcut last time and ran the wire from arrow to arrow. Got slightly pinched in weather stripping. No shortcuts this time. It was a B**** but I got it through here this time.
Door sill trim removed---passenger speaker wire down passenger side.
Remove circled panel to get speaker wire from door into cab. Had to loosen fuse box to get room. Line shows path of speaker wire.
Grommet on rear passenger side. Dashed shows power cables and solid shows passenger speaker wire.
Ground connections after using wire cup brush.
Line shows path of RCA cables and remote turn-on lead for amp.
Remove circled panels and door sill trim for driver's side speaker wire. Arrow shows where I ran it the first time. This side was harder than the passenger side, but it's worth it not having pinched speaker wire.
Another pic showing route of RCAs and remote turn-on
Path of RCAs, remote turn-on, and driver's speaker wires over to amps.
Pic of amps all hooked up and mounted--wires not fixed yet.
Closer shot
Tied up wires--still a little more to do but mostly done
Closer shot
Rear carpet added back on with hole cut for amps
Closer
One more looking back

I will have to shake off the rust before I do that to my truck its been a while since I've done anything with Audio. 
.....You got plenty of room behind the seat even with that new board there ? I will definitely mount mine back there so much cleaner look. I still need to figure out how to get that back seat off the wall I couldn't do it the last time i tried.By the way don't know if you know but it looks to me like there has been a wolf in your truck. Just a heads up

When I put the seat back on I'll see if I can take some pics of installation. Then you can just go in reverse. Plenty of room with the amps--lots of guys mount theirs behind the seats. See the recession where I ran the blue RCAs? Rule of thumb is keep anything you mount below that line. The seats lean back, so above that line is out.
Yeah the dog is depressed that her back seats are out. She's having to ride up front--I think the extra stress is causing her to shed more.

Matt where did you get that panel tool ? That would be nice to have when popping off all those panels

Advance Auto. Pretty much any parts store will have one. I think it was between ten and twenty bucks ---but it does come in handy quite often. It's a lot easier to pry back a panel, slide this thing next to the clip and pry, rather than just pulling on the panel and possibly breaking it.
