Sweet. Looking forward to the pics.

 

[Ram Man]

careful where you mount that Crunch amp...my buddies crunch would get so hot that if you laid a finger on it after it had been running for awhile it would burn you.

Awesome man..you are in for a long day...lol

you aint lying about a long day took me 6 hours to strip and sound proof my truck and till havnt done the doors yet, but if you got a friend that can help and not be in the way it will go quiker, good luck will all be worth it in the end

Got about 3 hours in so far, its 3AM going to call it a night.

Just getting the rear seat out, running the first power wire length, running the ground and mounting the amp.

Tomorrow morning I need to clean up the inside and pick up the rest of the toys.
Rear seats, to remove unbolt all 8 bolts, and push up on the backrest portion.

I will be installing the subwoofer amp here.

Bam!

Conveniently there is a good place to ground the amp, again striving for a professional install look.

As it sits now

Waiting on my audio dealer to call me back, hurry up

waiting sucks!!!

 

[sullivan]

Im just going to order online due to supplier not having stocked items. Pooie.

 

[quietpeen]

ugh..so now you have to wait for shipping.

 

[sullivan]

Got everything ordered and got me some MDF. Ive been playing with the router for the past few hours cutting circles.

 

[quietpeen]

so your truck is out of service till the stuff comes in and gets installed?

 

[sullivan]

Right now its drive-able, rear seat and door panels are off. Subs bumpin.

 

[quietpeen]

oh that is good

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

Good looking build so far Tyler, keep us posted on it.

Total time into project: 8 hours

I have never attempted anything like this before. I have done my homework and have some bad ass plans.

Idea: Custom fiberglass boxes with 3/4 MDF. When MDF Gets Wet it gets nasty so before I wrap them I will bed line them.
I plan on getting a graphite fleece to match the current carpet in the truck.


Laying down the tape for the fiberglass structure.

Two separate MDF boards mounted together, again this is only the start.

Three layers of MDF total for each box, bottom portion will be fiber-glassed into the bowl leaving a nice base for layer two to seal and mount.
Layer three will be a flush mount for the sub to be installed in.

Third layer will protect the sub from being squished by the rear seats.

Room for just one more layer, fits lovely

I can't believe this was on my rear seats

 

[blackout11]

When your done my truck will be waiting lol, nice job so far.

 

[quietpeen]

sweet. you are going all out on this aren't you?
