Now again, it depends on the driver. If it's an 8" sub, it might not like it that high. If it's a midbass driver then it should fill in nicely.

Yes sir!

I'm planning to cut this weekend. I just hope the weather is a little better then it has been for the first part of the install.

[bgalaxy67]

Alright. It's about 99% done. I'm one resistor away from being complete.

Here's the last of what I will call Phase one

I made a temp bracket for the kill switches. I haven't decided where I want them yet.





Then we have the Bass Knob





Finished up the power to the battery.



They work



Quick slide of the deck.



Put the seats in over the Nav



And the Sirius.



Home sweet Home

I gots me some wire in today

Team Broke-Ass Style



It's a little bigger then the 1/0 I had laying around





Good thing it's flexible.



And since I don't want it to burn to the ground I picked up some circuit breakers



Almost a pound a foot.

Hey man your making some serious progress with the build though the pic with the cutting tools and lines of where you were going to cut made me sit here for a minute and jut say to myself(NO he didn't). Say the well engineered box, was just wondering how, what your going to use to fill the viods between the cab and the bed that the box goes into?

Best of luck

Thanks!

It took a little sweet talking to the wife to get this one going.

I'm going to use an Accordion Boot Seal around the edges then in between the boot and port I will use expanding foam

The Port will cover the boot so it looks nice and clean.

4/0 flexi-shield Welding cable. I've been disappointed in the car audio stuff for awhile now. It's either aluminum tinned copper or the jacket is super thick to make the wire look like it's the right size.

Here it is next to 4G wire.

PM me some Sizes, Specs, and Prices.

Not much to see today, Mostly tying up some loose ends. The Accordion boot won't be in until Tuesday so I had to cover up the hole.



I put in all the brackets to hold the boot cover in place. It will be screwed together when the boot comes in.



Then I started on the doors for the last time. It's a little cold out so It's a slow go process.



I'm out of resin so I'll be making another trip to the store tomorrow.

Tonight I'm working on the box design so I can get the wood tomorrow.

I also spent a few hours tunning the processor. It was a little easier this time because I had my notes from the X

[johnperdeye]

il have to call and get specs u can check out the wire at dblink.net its strandflex wire
