can i get some specs on the box? LxWxH? Wheres the port aiming?

[Nickleahy23 0]

Ill have to go measure it because i forgot the dims, but its 7.9 cubic feet tuned to 31 hz. The port is on the drivers side pointing to the side. Its a slot port.

hows the kicker treating u?

Nice! Lots of carpet on the box. I'm going to go ahead and say it before someone else does, but you better probably secure your battery and your amp before you do anything else. A quick stop will turn that battery into a very large, very heavy projectile. And well, the amp probably won't like slamming into things. But other then that, nice install.

Also, is it just me, or is the truck's @$$ riding a little low?

Heres a little update..The battery is held down, just cant see from the pic..The amp is also secured to the amp rack and i did get it carpeted..Yes there is only one piece of 3/4 on the top, but there is a 2x4 going from top of the box to the bottom. I dont get ANY flex out of the box. I was afraid of it but its been fine so far..This is just temp until I do a blow through anyway..well heres a few pics of the amp rack all carpted..Still have to get this metered..

Video of the sub..about half on the bass knob..realized that afterward

Just another of the inside

Vid of the bags..

And how my truck is now..Gotta drive it through the fricken winter...

just an update..ended up blowing the rear window out the other day..got a new one put in and he put a thicker bead around the window to isolate it a little better. Coming up this spring The entire truck will be RaaMmat'd so that will help with all of the flex i get..Im also working on a box for a blow through..Im just havin a hard time tryin to fit the sub in the bed because it cant be vertical due to the size..if anyone has experience with blow throughs or could help me with a box that would be great.

i love it. looks great. i had the same exact combo, except with a btl 15. the kx2500.1 IMHO, is just about the perfect amount of power for the btl.
