98crewcab Posted July 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 the next attempt was MUCHO better. same process, but this time separated the rings so I could still get the positioning I wanted, but push the 4" back a bit. and overall looked better primer and playing and they sounded great for just being powered off the deck ended up selling them to a fellow SMD'er here, going to redo them with either 2 4" in each one, or 4 tweets like JPrices, 98hoeonsixes, pillars 06 2500hd, 6.0L, 4l80e, 4wd, (muah work truck) 7" BDS HC lift kit (5) 37x13.5R18 Toyo Open Country M/Ts (5) 18x10 Moto Metal MO962 tablet in lieu of deck blue tooth interconnect to soundstream eq (for volume control and bass control) 4 Alpine type r 10's 6 cubes net, 80sqin's port, tuned to 33hz 2 brutus brx5000.5's 2 pairs 3" polk audio for a pillars 4 pairs polk audio 6.5 comps 1 pair 8" polk audio for mids 2 xspower d3400 batteries.....learning alot from meade and his circle of some of the baddest installers ive seen- thanks guys, for not being so cocky and posting the way it should be done!P.S.
