This is yet another build for my good friend. Seems he has to buy a new truck every year or so... :)

What's Going in:

2 Massive Audio DB8000 Amps 8000w @ 1 ohm strapped (the two amps will be strapped and running 1.33ohm)

1 Massive Audio HD1600.4 200w x 4 @ 2 ohm

1 Soundstream Ref Comp set 6.5" (something used I had sitting around that he liked)

3 Rival Mobile Electronics A12.22 4" VC D2 ohm 2000w RMS

2 Shruiken BT120's

JVC Deck--nothing fancy

1/0 everywhere... big 3 ect...

all tsunami cables

**not sure on the rear speakers yet... they're not all that important... :) he's got some old soundstream 6x9's that we'll probably stuff in there..

going back together

apparently I didn't get any pics of the door speaker install.. pretty basic.. mids and highs are in factory location..

I'll get some box build pics posted later today or tomorrow.

Sweet, never heard of the amps or 12's. Have to check them out. Nice work.

Lookin' Good!!!! Those 12's gonna be sealed?

Is that electrical setup going to be sufficient?

It's two bt120's in the rear and we're working on adding two more under the hood.. with his resting ohm at 1.33 we'll probably only see 6000watts out of the pair of amps most of the time... (between the box rise and resting load being a little high.)

*high output alt will be added as well... just at a later time... probably closer to winter.. **this won't be up and running for atleast 3-4 more weeks...

Great work!!! Im interested in seeing some door pics. I know you said it was pretty basic but I would love to see them if you took any pics

  • Author

We failed to take any pics of the doors... when we take them back apart we'll have to get some photos...

Sorry about my previous question about the enclosure. Pics made it a little hard to see, but wow that looks awesome! Can't wait to see more! :popcorn:

I know... my cell takes REALLY Terrible pics... sorry :)

More will be done tomorrow... there's still a ton to do.. this has to be put on hold a bit since I have two other boxes to build for customers... (this Yukon build is for a good friend so the "regular" customers take priority) I'll work on it a little for the next two days but I really have to focus on the other two builds--One is big (like this one) and the other is just a basic box.

Looks great bro, eager to see the final install pics :drink40:

opened up the port as well--still have finish work to do in there.. I'm holding off until I get the flare glassed--it's an addition to the top of the box. no sense in doing a ton of sanding now when resin is bound to drip down there later..
