WELL YOU'LL BE FIRST TO SEE IT FOR SURE SINCE YOU ARE HELPING WITH THE BUILD, LOL

pics are here. here's the specs. 8cuft enclosure tuned to 35hz with 87sq.in. of port. Ports has been double routered for smooth air flow, Optima Yellow top installed in the back(more electrical upgrade coming soon). All 1/0 AWG kicker wire...anyways, here you go.

i'd like to add: this build took us 18hrs straight, not much sleep this weekend, and alot to trips to walmart for misc. tools.

Credits: I'd like to say none of this would have happened if it weren't for the "hella" lot of help and design of one of our forum members SHiZNiLTi, thanks Garret.

Here we dry fitted the box together to get the right perception of our project

here is an image of the double edge routered port

just showing how big this is by refrence to the sub here in this pic.

here's garett in the box, (6ft 7" tall!!)

he's 6'7" jesus that's a huge box then, hahaha. Nice lookin sub you have there sir

here's what the truck looks like factory:

The cargo compartment is going to be removed, it's 8" deep and 45 wide! lots of more room

here the box is fitted in to the hatch area

here's our hella smooth port after being routered smooth

and the box before we attach the double baffle

adding glue to the baffle

holding it down is some serious weight, that big sub weighs 75 lbs. (it's also nailed)

the shop area

ah, the port! filed down smooth

over in the car, we're putting in the batt, wire, amp, etc...

and the dry fit of the box, almost there

this was at around 2am, total build time was 18hrs straight (you can see the sun coming up in further pics)

perfect fit, right to the seat line, yummy

the holes cut

ah, the look of beauty

mounting the amp to the back of the box

finally mounted the subs

man this is sweet to see finally

zoomed out over view

the front batt terminal

the view from the back

and here is the finally pics we have before the box is painted and finished.

well thats it. this build took us 18hrs straight, started at 1pm sat, and ended sunday morning late!

thanks again Garett!!!

No fuses on the input of rear battery or output to amplifier?

.

nG

those are all being added tomorrow. Ran out of supplies at some point during the build

LOOKS AWESOME!

Damn awesome thread man. Thats a perfect install too! the pics were great! GO SSA!

Thanks Mark(SSaudio) it was a fun build!

Below is a short video of the setup. The camera is 7 years old and doesnt show near the amount of flex that there actually is, the subs are not even close to there full potential yet. Im going to get a new digital video camera soon that will pick up the cone movement much better. By that time they will be broken in and the gains will be set accordingly.

Anyways here is the vid, enjoy...

glad to hear it, expect more builds from us in the future, we're thinkn maybe 4 12" ICONs in the blazer

I love this box. That cubby hole makes the box look shorter than it is. Great job on planning and execution. How do the SSA subs sound? Looks good in the Video.
