(4) 18" DC Level 4's and (2) DC 3.5k's

Today's progress finally got the subs powered up. Demo coming tomorrow. Let's just say the biggest problem will be holding my truck together lol. Also found out 2 of my subs were mistakenly d1's instead of d2's so the build will be on hold until the new ones get back ftl. Big 3 upgrade tomorrow. Highs amp gets installed. Amp rack will be completed and more.

Is there a way to brace a sunroof? I don't feel comfortable seeing the sunroof flex open at less than half power. Still have to set amps, redo some wire and get my truck tinted. I will do my best to add videos tomorrow. My prayer is to have my subs back next week. I have to miss out this week.

Log Update.

 

DC has 2 of my subs for the voice coil mix up (Instead of having 4 d1's I had (2) d1's and (2) d2's). I ordered from both DroppinHz and DC and somewhere there was a mix up. No biggie, but I am waiting on them to send them back. While they have been gone I decided to Vinyl my box. For those who haven't seen it here it is. I am just updating my build, so I don't mean to double post, but I have to take care of my build log lol.

Birthday gifts from my mother and my wife. Chrome effect will be awesome. Not to mention I am looking into getting 30's on the truck.

I love this grille and can't wait until it arrives.

These bars will be awesome, I was tired of using tire wet on my stock running bars to make them look less dull.

A few small updates. Still waiting on my other DC subs to come in. Hoping to have enough time to get them a little broken in before the show this Saturday.

Looks like its going well. The best moment will be that first ride in the truck after finishing a huge build and enjoying your own hard work. Looks great.

While everything is out I would look into doing a 8in midbass in the kick panels if possible. The Nendo 8's really lack in that department, other than that great job

True and I am not sure I will be able to handle it lol. Got in a truck with 3 15's and almost gave up lol. Ears were itching like crazy. Then I got a taste of one if my tweeters and a 6.5 (out of 4) and told them to turn it down lol.

You spoiled my lil surprise lol. Just be patient grass hopper lol.

So you here you stated 3 15s was almost to loud, and now you have 4 18s on two DC 3.5s and are still going to add two more amps lol?

Differences: Removed roof rack, Replaced stock step bars with chrome step bars, Removed rear wiper, Added fender flares, Added a roll pan, Added remote start system, reinforcing and repairing side moldings, and YES it's back in the paint shop lol.

I still have to get my upgraded brake system (rotors and brakes) installed, repaint calipers, put 5% tint all around, add fog HID's, and get truck completely painted (Possibly tomorrow). Possibly adding a gray stripe styled design to my hood. This is still phase 1 of my truck lol.
