October 16, 201212 yr Author Thanks Chop,Sub will be here Wednesday but I am trying to figure how much I want to do. I could throw it on I there now and when I get another amp pull it all out again and rewire. Or just take my time and do it all now while its out. I only have two runs of 1/0 power and one run of 2/0 ground coming from the front. If I run the other 5500 I need to run 3 more runs from the front
October 16, 201212 yr It's easy for me to say to take your time and do it all now. But I get anxious too.Are you even sure you are picking up the 2nd amp? If you are how soon?I would go ahead and run all the cable if you know where it is going. That way when you get the amp you can just drop it in. Didn't you want to deaden some stuff too?
October 16, 201212 yr Lol @ me...Looking hood*Was supposed to say good. Hey, slow and steady, wins the bass!Treat it like you have, taking the time into each detail that is required. I would assume that I speak for most of the folks following your build, that the appeal is largely due to the details. Deadening and electrical....definitely rewarding facets of the build.

October 17, 201212 yr Author Popular Post 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 add the 8's to the doors. I am looking to spend atleast another 1500-1750 bucks to do this. Considering I can yank the subs out and remove the box / wall easily I will go ahead and run the 3 on one 5500 till maybe after Thanksgiving or even Christmas. There is so much going on through the holidays I want to get this in and be done for a while. I do not want to leave it be for a couple months while I buy everything. Which could take time since my wife is better off not knowing what I spend on this thing, LOL. So.... The sub arrived today, my dumbass didnt order speaker wire and ring terminlas till last night so I cant hear it till they arrive. I said screw it and put new box in by myself, I have been moving furniture and powerlifting for the last 18 years, surely this little box aint gonna win. haha The measurements are exact and I got alittle lucky really. The trim panels will be very small. There is only maybe .5 inch of play on each side at the top corners. Here are pics and a video. Hopefully it will still get fairly loud on 5500+ watts. It will be wired down to around a .5 ohm. It would be .67 if they were dual 1's but these coils read .6 - .7. I will post more pics and some videos asap.
October 17, 201212 yr Author Oh my! Dats a big bitch! I'm hoping to get another demo with the new upgrades.yes sir, I'm curious how the huge port above my head will sound. I see massive hair tricks coming soon, lol

October 17, 201212 yr Dang shit just got real love that box, maybe someday mine will look almost that good.If this turns out really good I might have to wall off my truck.Love your work man
October 17, 201212 yr Admin yeah, that should get pretty damn loud on 5500, then when you add the second amp, they will wake up for sure.Wish I could hear this one in person.
October 17, 201212 yr What a big pick-up you have !Nice equipment, but I want to see more pics of the install ! mids, amps, bats ?!Pleeeaaaase !

October 17, 201212 yr Author good lord,. looks great, tell me how big of a pain in the ass was it to take the door off?Thanks guysSuper easy, 4 bolts and I can do it in 5 mins by myself. My wife come outside I was carrying the door and I felt like Clyde on "Everywhich way but loose" haha Right turn Clyde..... She just take shakes her head at me.. It will look great when I get it all trimmed out and vinyl on it going with the same theme with the padded black vinyl. Really anxious to hear it.
