The bass frequency range is non-directional so it doesn't really matter where ya put 'em in the cab since it's the thump that is felt more than is heard. Consider mounting the amp under the console and each subwoofer under each seat and pointing down.

Ever hear Hank Jr's "A Country Boy Can Survive" at 200+ watts RMS?? You'll be "bumpin'".

That's my kind of music. And you are right bass is non-directional. I haven't made my seat brackets yet, so I don't know how mush room I'm going to have under my seats. My amp was made to go under a seat, but it isn't but 1 5/8" thick.
HIO Just for your info, and our tail dragging problem. I put 15 lb of air in the back shocks yesterday and measuring from the bump down, it went from a 1/2" low to 3/8" high in the back.

Question

What material did you use to make the headliner board out of ?

10-4... Good to know. Thanks. On Sunday I measured the LBB, now on the ground, and it is 1/4-inch higher in the back that in the front... I'm leaning towards 225/70s in front rather than 235/60s. That'll buy about another lil more than 1/2-inch.

I just found this thread and subscribed. You are doing a nice truck there. I'm at the beginning of my bump project. I only hope mine turns out half as good as yours. There are several bump project trucks on here that are awesome. Also glad to see another KY truck.

That is some pretty county up in there. I used to get up that way every now and then, but don't get far from Paducah or Possum Trot any more.

Thank you panman65.


Well I've got a little more done today, I still need to get a couple more fittings from Classic Auto Air to finish. What they sent will work but I just want to change for looks. I guess I just can't leave anything as is.
