I LIKE LOUD!!!
It's all good until I reach over for the Oh **** knob

It looks like I have all day tomorrow to finish it up. I was going to finish it up tonight and hit a show in the morning but, thats not going to happen.

I'm waiting on paint to dry before I can mount the subs, I was going to use vinyl
but that didn't turn out. ( I don't want to talk about it cause it's only going to make me mad ) So I painted the subs side. Once thats dry I can call for an extra set of hands to help me lift it into the truck.

LOL Rebel Flag, nice one.

I'm not against painting the box, I just had a look in my mind that didn't work. I'll give it another try when I switch out the subs.

I guess theres plenty of tricks I still need to learn.

stitching isnt all that hard but it sucks unless you have a big sewing machine. i tried to do some things on the gfs old one and it was more of a pain so i never finished. doing it is a matter of tracing out chalk lines on teh material and following them with the stitch. if you know someone who sews the basics are pretty much the same just with thicker material then a normal seemstress would use, hence why you would need a bigger machine. it is very time consuming to do as i think this is why most dont do it. custom interiears(sp) has always been my thing but i dont do it much anymore as ive gotten back into muddin a lot and it has no place in a mud truck.

Well I wasn't happy with the vinyl so I pulled it and painted the front. I'll attempt it again when I pull it to put the DC's in.















I'm not happy seeing the wood back trim so tomorrow I will redo the trim and make it right.



Other then the trim it's 100% working............ It's alright.

Hey Bgalaxy67

been watching over your build for some time now and I must say its gets more and more interesting as it goes on, though I'am wondering were you put the battery banks? and how do you keep them charged?

It's the wife's daily driver so it has to be less of an eye catcher then the X was so shes not worried about where it parked as much
