commens anyone?

I know its hard to tell but I am working in the back of my pickup. And its dark so doing this box was a pain in the ass. AND its cold. More oozege. Hmmmmmmm, coming together....FINALLY! Steve Meade tribute. haha. Kinda creepy aint it? All in all the build is coming together a hell of a lot easier than i thought it would. I asked a lot of questions, did a lot of research, and made sure i got all the right tools. This is the start of a lot of future box builds from me. Come back tomm!!! Oh and COMMENTS PLEASE!!!

Okay, build is coming together. Not sure if I'll finish tomm. but i'll try. Anyway...PICS!!! Had to make room for the box so the back panel had to come off. See that bulge? That is the middle seat-seatbelt. It was in the way. The truck had no rear deading now and is LOUD! Here is a mockup of the box. Thats my boy, John, cleaning up my messy glue technique. Back panel...completed! Thanks stratus for the advice on the corner clamps. these things are amazing! used them everytime i wanted to pilot my holes and anything w/ the drill. get some, $3. You know the screws are in good when that glue oooooozes out. Man I love ROE! What up Capn!!! My boy John. He just joined ROE. Dont know his account name though. Love those clamps. Hmmmm that light tells me that they are a gift from God.:thumbsup: I need a haircut....sexy drill. Hitachi FTW! Awesome sanding technique by yours truly. MDF sands better than I thought it would. My gaps weren't perfect a few times and i hand sanded it to perfection.

I'm a strange black person. i love rap/hip hop for bass but prefer rock (all that remains, RED, System of a Down...ect.) I love rappers like Jay Z, Ludacris, T.I. and Eminem cause they have TALENT. they come up with these awsome beats, repeatably playable songs years down the road and lyrics that make you go WOW! I HATE soulja boy! He sux! the lyrics suck, the beat sux. he has no talent. every song on his album sounds the same. rap has gotten really lazy. i miss the old days where you needed a whole cd of good songs and not just a cd with one good song and 15 others that have NO CHANCE of becoming popular. For example, if ludacris came out with a new album it would have one song on it that was really popular. but over the period of like 8 months there would be 4-5 songs from the same album that would make it big. why do people love these songs so much? the dances are even stupid. sorry to rant but i hate him so much.

that has got to be the deepest thing i've ever heard. lol...thats awsome. alright so i'll go for it then!

thanks guys. damn i can't wait till they get in! i wanna try to build my first box with this setup but i don't think it'd be a good idea because of the amount of power going to it. what do u guys think?

well ANY sub will get hot from slammin it for too long but what i mean is will the sub deteriorate from playing it daily? like some of the options on the BTL shouldn't be used if the sub is daily cause it can leave shavings and other stuff broken off in the sub. isn't the MT similar or is it a little more toned down than a FULLY loaded BTL?

Before I buy two of these bad boys from a member on ROE i have a couple of question: 1) will I have enough power with 4 crossfire VR-1000D? they should do 1300 watts on 14.4 volts. 2) are they good for a lot of daily? i work almost everyday and its about a 15-20 min drive and i live 340 miles from home so i drive about 5-6 hours every 3 weeks or so. can they handle moderate volume levels for this long?

maybe the population is growing so large that they want everyone to wear tight ass pants and cut the semen count down! what the f*ck ever. thats some bullshit. let them wear what they want!

I want to run 2 BTL 18's on 2000 watts apiece. What options do I need or would be good to have? I know what they are rated for but I want them to handle more power in the future (maybe 1000/2000 more each).

man that looks so good. i feel so inspired now. have any idea what he's got in there.

haven't really thought about it but i'm not worried. i'll figure it out.

I want to put 2 15's (or 18's) in the bed of my truck and do a blowthrough for just the port. Can i rhino line it and leave it to the elements for about....6 months until i can get a bed cover? just wondering if they'd stay water proofed. also...what is the best kind of box for what i want to do? i want both subs facing the inside of the cab and the port going in the cab. is this just a ported box or do i have to go another route?

its a 2004 F-150 standard cab. i know yall hate these questions but how loud are we talking? I mean is more better cause I originally was going to just do 2 15" mojos.

is it really as easy as people say it is (as far as building the box goes that is?) I was going to build the boxes, rhino line them and port em into the cab. thats it?!

I have 6000 watts, the electrical to support it and i'm LOOKING to do a blowthrough. My question is will this satisfy me? I'm looking at a couple different options... 1)4 15" Fi Q (or Bl) vs. 4 15" Fi BTL I don't know which ones because yeah the BTL is supposed to be louder but they wouldn't get the full 2000 watts they say, I'd only be given em 1500 apiece 2)Should I do 15"s or 18"s? I know 18"s are louder but will it be THAT much of a difference. Besides...I think I have the smallest amount of watts on this forum. Will I be doing those 18s (or 15s for that matter) any justice? 3)As far as the blowthrough goes I was looking at 2 sealed boxes facing each other and porting it into the cab. Is this louder or would "subs up port back" be louder? I just don't see how I can make this work.

I KNOW that doing a blowthrough is going to be risky and tough but I'm willing to try it. My question though is what type of blowthrough will yeild a louder db? I was thinking of taking 2 sealed boxes (w/ maybe 2 15's in each), facing them towards each other and porting them into the cab. How loud will that be vs. any other kind of setup?
