Forward cabinet

[Salty]

Refinished the forward storage compartment and installed a new stereo and speakers speakers

Nice work! What does your sound system consist of?

Looks nice, I like that center door to hide it.

@Silveeloaf
The head unit is Sony, the forward speakers are Focal. The rears are speaker lab. Dunno if those were OEM.
@ Linn_Chris
The door......
There is a design flaw there that I will address later. By mounting the head on the bottom, the catch for the door interfered with the head unit. So the door was rotated 180 so the catch wouldn't interfere with the head unit.
Thank you both for your kind comments

I assume you stayed with 12v head unit and speakers?

[Salty]

Yes, 12V.. Nothing overpowering, 55 watts. No need to disturb the neighbors. If I want loud, Bluetooth headphones can connect to it.

Did you run new wiring to the speakers? Our trailer has 4 wires to each speaker over the beds.

Also, do you have model numbers for your head unit and speakers?

Thanks.

[Salty]

I used existing speaker wires, and I'll likely leave it that way when I rewire the trailer.
I'm away from home ATM, so I'll get model info later
I did discover a stray wire in the right front speaker area. Unconnected and purple in color. Anyone have any idea what that may have been there for? .

Salty-

Did you use a dash kit (i.e.: metal frame) to mount the head unit?

[Salty]

No, used an angled piece of wood to support the rear and the standard strap from the rear and aluminum brackets on the sides to secure it. It's not going anywhere
