cheech and chong voice..... " your shipping is going to suck man" thats a big ol box buddy.... these guys hosted on here, ( the builders), they build forts, professionally built enclosures = FTW. chop

No, I believe we have a couple Large's left, but will have to wait to hear from Mark on inventory. XXL is the largest we have. Not sure if we are going to do another run of these. please contact your local tent and awning company for further size requirments in the future.......

Denim, I am using this install as a tutorial for myself, I want to re-learn everything this time around, the correct information. so, yes multiple rebuilds are in store.... i want to learn habds on, i believe the mistakes i make will only teach me more... more experiance and hands on to pass on to others.... I am not sure this box is the best box.... i will build several and see where it leads me. the crazy part is,,,,, information, WOW, there is so many opinions out there that do not even corespond to eatch other at all..... who is right? who is full of sh*t? it is a challeng, to have a sub with only a few reviews and to try to determine the outcome of each senario. Chop

4Xl for your big ol' buddy chop???

lol @ us, i am sorry for the thread jacking here buddy, yeah the tigs are sweet, but i usually am welding very heavy gauge steel, I am better at arc welding, it gives me a free hand to hold my beer. lol, jk. chop

welding wire has a much weaker jacket and you have to be extra carefull when using it! like when you go though the firewall you have to use gromets and when going around sharp corners or rubbing spots you HAVE to tape them off or put something soft between the wire and the object. the car audio wiring cost more b/c it has a tougher jacket! Hey buddy......i got to speak up on that one..... that is not consistant with each brand of welding cable..... the 2/0 gauge welding cable that i have ran in the Dakota has a 1/8th" outer jacket and a 1/16th" inner jacket that is tough as nails.... being a Ironworker, I have had my fair share of welding cable in my hands over the past 13 yrs. we drag this cable, several hundred feet at times, acrosss steel, high in the air.....live! you can imagine if it were to cut and arc out, not a good thing. there is some "Billy Bad Ass" car audio cable out there, just the same, there is some welding cable that is top notch, in almost every senario , it will be cheaper, there is no mark up on it due to the car audio hype, some of this companies can sell audio equipment 230% mark up and they will get it for a while too! there is some good welding cable out there.... just fyi. okay , i got that all out there, lol. chop im confused... are you saying that its simply just the same thing as car audio power wire? i'm sorry, it is not as easy as that to say i am afraid...... everything is relitive, however , apples to apples, quality, size and jacket being of an equal..... the car audio will be better looking and the welding cable will be cheaper... just understand there are alot of varibles and i don't want o miss lead you. you are on the right track currently, doing your homework first befroe buying. chop

i might be guilty of over kill , but i am using 4 gauge for my speaker wire! lol. chop lol 4gauge lmoa! hell with 4 gauge you can power like 90amps at 1ohm is like 4krms lmoa!! over kill!!!! and how did you fit 4guage in a 8gauge push terminal? those little reducers or like trim the wire down A LOT lol yeah we trimmed her up some..lol .... see build log

i might be guilty of over kill , but i am using 4 gauge for my speaker wire! lol. chop

the car audio wire has a nicer look..... the welding wire has a cheaper price..... there are some science majors on here that can tell you the rest of it....lol, just my .02 for ya. chop

hey bro..... what is your plans with the wiring? am i reading it right that currently you have the the 2 runs of 0 gauge and will be adding three runs of 3/0 gauge for the ground? Is your current electrical wiring all 0 gauge? like all the big three is done with it already? just wanting to get a feel for the electrical.... any subwoofer brand or makepicked out yet? i have already scratched, (marred), the bejebbers, (lol @ me spelling that), out of my enclosure..... a textured or speckled finish =FTW. chop

r u going with a enclosure in the trunk firing forward, sealed off? curious what sub enclosure plans you have with that XCON, you said SQ with impressive SPL......so far you are on the right track, great sounding sub. chop

thanks..... are you considering murdering it out completly at some point? just curious with the blacked out features it already has. I like the build so far, looking good. chop

holding my vote till i see more pics......

nice equipment list, would like to see body work at same angle of the damaged angle, for comparisons. will be watching. chop

looking like a good start .............. 4 18" BTL's + a suburban = FTW !!!! chop

i think i would put it under the carpet , looks better in the pic. nice area for all the power to be in. chop

nice equipment list, really into seeing the install. Chop

looks like a nice amp you got,,,,, can't wait to see what it does for your install. Chop

looking good .

looking good ... keep it up bro. chop
