Full dash view, everything is quite easy to reach. Only downside, I need to keep a small screwdriver in my truck now to fine tune every now and then.

Yes I do love the mlk 165s. I had them installed in my last car with a LRX 5.1k and were amazingly clear and very accurate.

I should have more pictures posted tomorrow.

Update.

Here is some of wiring that I did. Just power wire for now.

Here is the way loomed the power wire. First I used split loom and then Expandable sleeving over the "show" end with Shrink tube to hold it all together.


Here is a mount I made to hold my Scosche fuse block.


The back side of the block made gussets to help support the weight of the block.


Just a side view showing gussets.


Fuse block mounted and ground wiring. I made the Ground come out the bottom of the block insead of using hte normal grounding location.


Then I used security screws to hold the fuse block to the mount.

The engine bay preped for wiring. had to remove the wiper cowl to accomplish what I wanted.


Block mounted with pan head screws and "speed clips" on the underside.


Side of the block, giving you a look at the "show" wiring.


Cover on Fuses in and powered up.


Night shot to show standing voltage and fuse lights.


one 4 Gauge and two 8 Gauge power wire run inside the truck, and then Silicone to seal.
