Ooh that alright then isnt it, you will have all your amps then  . Bet the router is making a hell of a lot easier for you?
Hopefully you will have it done for mod nats. So how many leds are going round the front of the wall?
Get some pics up of wat uv done today.
Hope you will be happy with it all once you have finished it all cause you have put loads of time,work and effort into it
Well done  x

well been outside for the last 5 hours finishing the leds panel managed to router out all parts to fit the leds and wiring in. tomorrow ive got to order 70 more leds and some black carpet to trim the panel with plus 10 meters of black power cable to earth the leds 2 the 4 swtiches witch will control color combinations.
pics from today
1st i routed out the 4mm gap for the light to come out of

2nd routed out the 82 gaps for the led wiring to go thru

3rd made the gap for the positive and negative power wires to go thru

4th started fitting the leds and wiring

got a prezzie in the post today my 2nd genesis profile 4 amp came with 3x 5m rca leads, 5m of 8 gauge power cable and remote with none of it was needed but will be useful when making other peoples installs. the amp i got today seems to be the newer p4 as it has metal gain nobs and a blue power light insted of the red on my other one.
well had work today so couldnt get much done but got about 20 of the leds wired up cant get the wiring to sit flush as there so much of it. so im going to have route the gaps bigger tomorrow. plus i got the bracing off the back of the box and painted a 2nd coat of pva glue to seal the box more. hopfuly the rest of the leds and carpet will come in the post tomorrow then i can hopfuly get it all finished off wednesday

 cant wait to see these LED's fitted....i still dont understand where they are going...is that panel with the leds in going around all the subs, but so that the leds are flush against the sub box?? so that you just see the glow and not the LED itself?
