  1. This is how we do it in New Zealand! Just a couple of tracks I've been jamming lately. Both have some sweet face humping bass. Will throw some more up when I get a chance.
  2. Next update: Got the braces cut, duraglassed in place and fiberglassed. Added a few more layers of glass all over for good measure. Built up a decent surface around the cutout for the seat latch to give the baffle something to seal against. Again Duraglass and FG'd in place. Then went over it with the router to make it flush with the rest of the box. Second baffle all cut out. Here you can see the cut out for the amp. I was going to mount it on the box, but because of the bracing on the back of the cab, that isn't going to work so I've had to mount the amp lower on the back wall and the box will fit around it.
  3. Thanks man. It's a '91. The twin cabs aren't available in the US that I know of, but I've heard they have them in Mexico. They're pretty cheap over here aswell, $2000-2500NZD will pick you up a nice one.
  4. Thanks fellas. Next update! Seat base shaped up and first layer of glass on Started the amp rack for the front speaker amps. This will sit behind the seat, under the sub box. Got the woodwork started and glassed in Main baffle cut out and holes cut to flush mount the drivers. Measuing volume I've got just over 2c/ft before displacements. The subs are only .083 c/ft each, but I've also got to flush mount the sub amp into the box as there's nowhere else to put it, so it looks like I'll be leaving it sealed for now. No way NEAR as gnarly as most of the builds on this site, but I've got a few other projects lined up after this so one might see some big man gear!
  5. Thanks guys. Keep the positive comments coming, they make for good motivation and I definatley need plenty of that!
  6. This is where the 'Seat of Boom' comes into play. I was considering getting some slim mount subs, but thought fuck it, I can make the 12" DVC's fit in there! As you can see, there's not room for much at all behind the factory seat, so out came the grinder and welder and I gained an extra 3" at the bottom and 2" at the top Then I removed some of the seat springs and got busy with the 'glass And that's about where I'm at right now. There's a sound-off in my area on 9th May that I'd like to go to, so I've got 2 weeks to git'er done!
  7. And thennnnn....I got sick of not having any back seat and anywhere to put stuff so out came the BFH. Sometimes I wonder why I do this to myself 80 6 cut-off discs and 3 flapper discs later... Then put down some foam to shape and re-build the top edge to meet the seat base
  8. But wait...there's more! Re-located the amp gain Some wiring X-overs mounted behind the kicks
  9. I rushed the box and it didn't take long before it started rattling, so I made the decision to rip it out and start again, this time with something abit more creative Had to cut it down slightly 'coz it was too much of a mission to get in and out without damaging shit! Building the enclosures
  10. Hey all. Long time lurker, first time poster. Figure I'd throw my build up here. The truck is a Mitsubishi L200 (same as Mighty Max/D50) twin cab. I'm currently redoing the box (for the 3rd time). I know some of the gear isn't the most desireable, but too many hobbies means not alot of cash so don't hate! The truck was a death trap when I got it. Dodgy suspension/wiring & amps just thrown under the seat etc. Havn't got any pics of the sub setup when I brought it, but this was after a quick redo. Then made some speaker pods for the front and custom door cards front and rear Made some rear pods for some Fusion 6x9's And added some flames to the roof and some a custom gauge panel
