That's a serious brace, I assume this is to secure the enclosure to the back of the cab?

Great work on the box for being in the elements of the bed!

Awesome Job wood! Just watched the vid, wanted to point out the bass automatically blurrs out the cursing. What a good guy!

Seriously though, awesome job. I see you glass sealed it, then primed it. What did you use for a primer? I know if you use a finish resin, it has a wax in it. The wax can make it hard to stick to. Does it seem to be sticking ok?

On the inside maybe carpet would do the trick? You could carpet the whole back side of the cab and wrap it into your box?

lets see picks of the grow room :)

yes ... this ...

Awesome build bro ... any plans to mdf around the cab opening to cover the boot ?? :popcorn:

thanks scotty! and idk about the resin and the paint not sticking. i just used one layer of actual glass on the top then just heavy coats of resin then just used some regular high solid primer left over from when i painted my truck, then shot the sealer and then the paint. it was cold as hell, outside and super windy. still sticking... im not real worried i plan on painting it all over, i screwed the paint up on the metal piece i made too so its whatever.

and yeah im gonna do a MDF panel and amp rack, im getting another little battery for the back this like tues or wed, then plan on carpeting all that...

Took some videos with my friends iphone. gettin a little movement. it likes a door open.

Looks like the rear wall of the cab needs some bracing. A piece of 2x1x1/8" rectangular tube spanning across the cab and stitch welded to the rear of the cab would help alot. Looks like it's putting out some sound thats for sure. Looking good.

Love the video! I am looking into getting the XLs soon most likely in 12s. Loved the lvl 4 so much thought i would try there company again.

Crazy flex man. Gotta brace that back panel :drink40:

  • Author

this is the second brace ive tried... had angle iron before. its tied into where the factory brace goes. need to weld it in a few more places. it took everything we had to get those tennis balls in there and they just squish like potatoes.

Sorry cell pics. getting a new computer soon that will be able to read a damn usb.
