  • I started thinking. I really want to almost rewire the whole truck when I run two 5500's. I will want to do 4-5 runs of 2/0 from front to back, add atleast 2-3 group 31 AGM's to rear, deaden roof, and

  • I don't know how this works I they are huge I apologize, these are straight from the iPhone

  • Thanks, all screw holes will be filled, I wanted the smooth side in. The birch is so smooth I may not resin the inside. I think it would be hard to get back to the smoothness it is now. Started workin

I take it that this machine is going to be ready by MECA world Finals so I can get a demo ??????????????

I've had MAJOR problems with my truck this week, I hope I make it there safely ...

Nice work!

Nice progress.

Similar amp mounts this round?

Yep, Both 5500's will mount front and the 4 channel and 2 channel will mount under the false floor. Batteries are being moved to the tool box in bed.

No man, I wish. The third sub hasnt shipped yet and I still have a ton of prep work to do to the truck. Everything is still in my truck though so you can get a demo of the two 18's. They do pretty good :)

Ok then ... I'm going to be wraped up in the Linear Power booth for the most part and kind of busy ... So Please come find me !!! I will have one of the New Linear Power shirts on (very few people have them yet) and possibly near my truck ...

Damn that's a sexy box. I wish I could mount my subs on that hot box!

Looks awesome!

Either that's some small allthread or freakin huge dowel rods.

1/2in all thread and 1 1/4 dowels, the 3/4 all thread was just simply too heavy. My current box has 2in dowels and they are huge, this box I needed all the airspace I could get. I really wanted to stay at 20+ cubes. I really think this will be just loud as balls. Lol the current setup can get pretty brutal. I can't wait to hear this one!

Got another thick coat of resin in tonight and this weekend I will finish sanding and painting it. Then carpet the box black and get it ready to make the trim panels for the wall and think about what sort of beauty panels to do. May stick to padded vinyl or try a carbon fiber look

I like carbon fiber but not the goofy checkerboard stuff most places seem to sell.

That being said I like the padded vinyl you did. It's cheap, nice looking and a lot more forgiving.

No pics because I'm too lazy to take any but got the port all rounded, resigned the whole inside and sanded down with a 220 grit. The box is ready for carpet, I am only carpeting the front and sides, beauty panels will cover most but the uncovered areas I wanted black carpet. The sub will be here next week so I gotta get busy on installing all the new wiring, box and trim panels. I will post pics this weekend

Trying to upload pics, iPhone 5 is acting up, the side by side pics show how large this new one is. I am thinking I might should go ahead and deaden roof while its empty and also run a couple more runs of 2/0. Trying to figure a temp way to cover seal rear window behind the wall. Maybe more 1/2 rubber pad fitted. It could be removed later and should help with vibration or rattle

lmao nice bro.

I've could have done that too O.o

either thats a big truck or your a short dude haha. but its alright i'm a lil dude myself. but thats also a massive box. didnt look to easy takin outta that baby.

Haha the truck is very large. I'm 5'11, most people have to climb in it. It's a 4wheel drive f250 with a 3in lift and 35in tires. Yeah the old box is a monster, I used every bit of 5 sheets of 3/4 birch to build it. That's 72lbs per sheet too. Lol

This new box used 6.5 sheets to build.

insane! I need to do work on my car too ... Would like to have the monies to do the deadening right and take all the seats and carpet out.... we will see...someday

Didn't Senchez volunteer to help put the new box in? ;)

Man, what you had in there was very impressive !!! I can only imagine what this new setup is going to do ....

I was hoping to find you sunday, wanted to show you a friends setup similar to yours with the tweeters mounted the way I was describing, but you were nowhere to be found ...

Geez dude you just missed it when you left, we had some MAJOR conversations with MECA and several former world champions about the 5.25s going in my dash ... Steve Stern himself wants update on this to be sure I'm competing next season in MODDEX and SQ2 ... I sure could use your wood working skills ..

Anyways, enough of my rambling ... See you soon back in TN !!!
