As the title says, i have a 1986 F150 Regular cab. With this modle truck their really isn't really any room behind the bench seat to put a sub with out being on top of the steering wheel, and not cutting a hole in the back of my cab. This is about my 5Th box I have built for my truck. Ok no more talking, on to the build

Head Unit: Alpine 9885 ($60 at best buy, on clearence brand new) :drink40:

First thing first, the truck came with a stock 60 amp alternator, not going to cut it. So i went to the junk yard and pulled an 130 amp alt out of a 94 H.O mustang, in the process changing it from a two plug alt, to a 1 plug alt. Did the big 3 all in 4 guage, will get replaced with 0 eventually.

Now since i have a better electrical, time to start the box
