May 29, 200916 yr Neato. I am starting to build appreciation for how much work goes into properly installing systems, however simple.
May 29, 200916 yr Nice simple install. I'd rather see something like this done with care, rather than a sloppy attempt at a wall.
May 29, 200916 yr Author The Girl's a hottie BTW I'll have some finished pics up tomorrow (pleas don't think that the mess is how it will be ), maybe I'll an SPL number and a video too! Seriously I'll be on it.. She's coming to pick it up on Saturday--currently she's in NewYork
May 29, 200916 yr Holy big font batman That dash and the doors look more like the ones from a Grand Cherokee instead of the Cherokee.
May 29, 200916 yr Author Holy big font batman That dash and the doors look more like the ones from a Grand Cherokee instead of the Cherokee.good eye... it is a grand cherokee.. I didn't think to type in the "grand"So I'm up bright and early to get busy. nothing better than going to bed at two a.m. and getting up at 6a.m. and getting to work.I've gotta get this done so I can get my truck built.!
May 29, 200916 yr Author almost done.... I still need to build her a custom box so it fit's under the cargo cover... It'll be 2 cubes tuned 35hz, just a basic box..here's todays progress...Bottom plate for the x-oversx-overthe pairwiring....the cap, it's mounted to a board that is mounted to the floor. the cable tie-downs are mounted to the same boardseat still worksamp, rca's amp, power ect...temp sub boxI'll get vids later. It sounds REALLY good. very good blend of mids and sub-bass... I think her and her dad will approver.

May 29, 200916 yr Author Sometimes I love the one amplifier solution. This install sponsored by Massive? The massive 5 channel does the job well.. It won't win you any bass comps but it's more than plenty of power on the single 12. Gives you a good shakin' **the mid channels have the gain set super low... like 1/16-1/8 the sub gain is at 1/8... the whole setup is adjusted so when she turns the bass and volume all the way up nothing will distort or blow. I've adjusted that way because I know how teenage girls are. It sounds really clean with the volume at 2/3'rds and the bass at center. I just know she'll be toying with it.as for sponsored by massive.. I happen to have a few massive items laying around. the install took some of my excess gear off my hands ***off to finish it up.. need to clean up my mess, and clean the interior of the truck... she dropped it off super dirty..
May 30, 200916 yr Author Finished it up... Sounds GREAT!!if you look at the vids turn down your volume---my camera really distorts... Don't worry the stereo doesn't sound like thatOK, today I built the subwoofer box, it's 2.8cubic feet tuned to 33hz. Took less than 2 hours from start to finish (Planning, cutting the wood, assembling and covering the box!!)had to rewire some to make slack to mount the amp on the new box (I moved the amp a few inches)the stock battery terms were junk so they had to be replaced, I used two AudioPipe adaptors--rewired and loomed the power and groundso that is all... tadaaaaaa!! about 26 hours worth of labor went into doing this.. just so you know **I didn't really make much money on the deal.. I over did her budget so it cut into my profit.. I'd rather make less and get the job done right than skimp on some things.
