July 22, 200916 yr Author Also, I have a question for the box.Should I get a terminal cup or should I just drill a hole and squeeze the wires through and put the wires through the box?How do you guys seal the hole? Can I use fiberglass to seal it?
July 23, 200916 yr Honestly, a terminal cup would be fine, just run silicone around the cup from the inside. It's not a lot of power so runnin 8-12awg speaker wire through a cup isn't gonna effect anything even if competing.

Just to lazy to buy a terminal cup.
July 23, 200916 yr Lol, ok then get a scrap piece of wood and start pulling out drill bits. Find one that makes you have to force the wire through the drill hole.Once you find that, use that for the wire then silicone II around the hole after the wire is ran through on the inside AND outside."Second Skin Arrived & Installed Also Purchased a Tox Kit from eBay to remove seats"You know, lol, when i first read that, i thought u were chemically diluting gases in your truck to remove your seats.. I was sittin here thinkin.. Damn, they really don't want you modifyin this vehicle do they?
July 23, 200916 yr Author Alright, thanks for the tips. Oh crap, I just noticed I spelled Torx wrong. LolDang it I can't edit it. Edited July 23, 200916 yr by tech2332
July 30, 200916 yr Author Got Wood & Glue SuppliesAlso Got Another Package TodayCompared to SSA 10" IconHopefully start on box by the end of this week.
July 30, 200916 yr Author Updated Design: I now plan on using 1 6" Aero port firing out the drivers side. It will only have the external aero, the inside will be "aeroless".
July 30, 200916 yr Author nice sub and box design.you still trying to sell that icon?Thanks, and yea i'm still trying.
August 6, 200916 yr Author Picked up some Fiberglass @ HomeDepot.Start applying this tomorrow morning and if I need more I'll go pick some up.$30 W/ Tax( I only paid $10 since I found a $20 on the ground. )
August 26, 200916 yr good looking build so far. Your box is similar to mine, but I'm running 10's. How do you like the new truck?
