Not to rain on your parade. But I looked at the Aries boards after seeing your post and I was interested in them. I like the 2nd step and they looked pretty sturdy. Anyway, I spoke with the manager at one of the truck accessory stores for one of my longest clients and he warned me off them. He said they were noisy and he did an install on a truck, but they ended up having to remove and refund the purchaser and they ended up going with the AMP boards. So, as I said I don't want to discourage you, but the review I got from the manager at the truck accessory store was that the AMP product was much better than the Aries.
