I use color coded wires, label function and connection at each end, weatherproof connectors, keep a spreadsheet of components, wires, loom group, connector name, pin # and location, AWG and wire type, fuse size, length and on separate sheet calculation of voltage drops. I also diagram each circuit ... still two years later, scratch my head.I will cut exactly where the subwoofer ends, my only challenge I might face are the mounting tabs, ill have to somehow incorporate additional ones. I already started disassembly and will hopefully reach the sub by EOD.
and no I'm not adding an inverter, just re-locating some digital equipment for the Nav, DVR, AUX, LED controls, fuse box. and most importantly an air compressor. I'm tired of having all my equipment stuffed behind the NAV, under passenger & driver seats, next to the pedals, under the glove box etc. I did a lot of wiring work 10 years ago and recently I wanted to work on the truck and had no idea what the hell was going on, I had wires everywhere with abbreviations I can't remember what they meant. At the time (2010) I had android auto and apple car play features 4 years before they even existed (and on the OEM screen) so alot of wiring was involved... Anyways, this time I am prepared and will ensure
1. I use OEM+ plugs, looms, tape and harnesses
2. That each connection has a disconnect in between
3. Everything is properly labeled IN MORE THAN ONE PLACE.
4. No splice connectors whatsoever
5. I do everything myself, no shops or help from friends unless I can supervise 100%
So hopefully this new place will be a central location for all my addons, i already started and I extracted a s***load of wiring

For those with more than 3 aux addons, are you suffering like I am? upkeeping and planning is very important for future addons if not done properly the first time
