Hey Norm,
Yeah, the ugly black rubber mat is not going back in, if thats what youre referring to (I have a DC and it doesnt have the plastic wall like the CM). The plastic trim panels on the sides will be there as normal, but the rubber mat is gonna be gone. I think the black carpeted amp rack is gonna look ten times nicer than the rubber mat.
There is nothing wrong with running your RCA's down the door wells, but for this build I decided to make my signal runs straight down the center because I wanted to make sure I had enough length to make it look nice and neat on the amp rack. But going down the wells is fine.
One thing to mention though, if you run your amp power wire down the drivers door wells, run your RCA signal cables down the passenger's side wells to avoid noise interference. When I ran my power wire down the door wells, I fed it through the big white plastic clips that secure the factory looms in place and cable tied it to that all the way to the back. The cable ties just keep it looking nice and neat and kill any chance of rattles. Our door well covers just pop right off with a firm tug, but to get the center pillar trim panel off you'll need to remove the seatbelt bolt with a 14mm socket and pull off the trim panel. In places like that the power wire touched the metal of the truck as it came over that hump so I wrapped it with some left over scrap of Ensolite so it would'nt rattle around.
