    Hey, I just looked through your whole build, nice work. I got some questions. I recently just picked up a Jimmy for myself (same as the Blazer). I'm just curious about the box you had for the HDC4's, do you recall the dimensions of the box? How far was the port from the back tailgate? I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with mine, but I want to keep the rear seats so I can still move some of my kids around if need be. 

    Thanks man! And The box was 38” wide, 29” deep, and 20” tall. I believe it was about 5-6” from the tail gate. Tuned to 35hz with 17 sq inches of port per cube

    Well done Ty. Man, oHHhhhhhh man does that bring back memories dude. That looks almost identical to my sdime blazer build. I also went over the top of wheel wells, with FG,... the hole 9yards. Looks sooooo familure man. Makes me itch, an sweat just looking at it. I remember, sitting inside that shell for hours, when it was 105 out, my phone blowing up , with friends/members on here, and else where. Was some fucking great times mate. Nice job bud. Nice job. I think youll like it :) God i miss mine. :(

     

    Thanks man! And yeah I’m constantly itching from that shit. Definitely one of my favorite parts of the build tho. Play some good tunes and get it lookin nice and smooth. Your build was one of the main reasons I got my blazer. And one of the first guys who really got me into audio. 

    Its crazy thinking a couple years ago I was watching all the builds on smd thinking I’d never be able to do anything like it. This forum and many awesome members like yourself are really the reason I’m where I’m at today! 

    You guys goin to slamology this year, I neeeeeed to hear that burban and meet you some day man.

  3. Been a while since I updated. Been dealing with either -50° Weather or 3 feet of snow fall. So I haven’t done much to it in the last month. Got the wood roof finished. Final thickness is 2.25” thick. Then got the sides glued into place and connected to the roof with 45’s. 

    Still a lot of work to be done, but the next step will be a second layer of 45° on top, attach the back sides, then work on fiberglassing over the wheel wells. 2EC80918-1D49-4B56-BEB9-182A098C49A8.thumb.jpeg.6669ed2663ae064b6b634f22d2642d28.jpeg

  4. Progress has been slow with the cold weather finally setting in. Was able to use a small propane heater inside my truck to warm it up enough to start my wood roof. First layer is 1/2” mdf. Second layer is 3/4 mdf. 3rd layer will either be 3/4 or 2 layers of 1/2”. So roof will end up being between 2 and 2.25” thick.  

    Once the wood roof is all done I’ll be able to get the sides permanently mounted and things should start moving pretty quickly after that.

  5. Made some more progress. It’s not all glued in but that’s roughly how the floor of the wall will be. I took some vacation from work so I’ll be working on it all day tomorrow. Hope to get the floor all done and start on the sides and top. 

    Its coming together a lot faster than I thought. Really excited to get this done :) working in the winter sucks. But it has been in the 30’s here all week so not too bad. Got some nice lights to work with when it’s dark. Don’t mind the shitty pics. Phone sucks taking pics at night. 128999F4-BF0B-4271-85DC-F3473E50E79D.thumb.jpeg.31abad6d0a30ff0dc5c90cc61ebb5d9c.jpeg6DD85D1E-4F73-42A5-A6E4-C951E0A3A867.thumb.jpeg.b458e2da67e6bd81f34cdce3941610ef.jpeg68B4FC6D-DE0C-4D52-B7AB-BACD9A403B43.thumb.jpeg.4b65cae5badbaaf582a7459ad21ef7ab.jpeg9FD57F55-022E-4149-8DBD-C2343C07688B.thumb.jpeg.f596de27e189999d3e2cf1d8683921c1.jpeg

    your dedication is amazing dude! So you obviously had a goal in mind for 2-18s, current goal? Shooting for a 160?

    My goal for the 2 18’s was 155 sealed on the dash didn’t quite get there. It was 154’s sealed and just under 156 with window open. 

    Yes my new goal is a 160 with this build. Gonna be close but I think I’ll be able to get it. Got a lot of work ahead of me that’s for sure!

    Hell ya,... good shit man. 

    Thanks man. I’m still indecisive on what ohm load I want to run. Cheap route would be to just get two recones for the blown subs I just bought and run all 4 of my 3500’s at .35. But that’s gonna take a lot of electrical. Otherwise I can recone all 4 with D1.4 and run each amp at .7. 

    Would be $900 in recones if I did that but then I have 4 brand new subs rather than 2 new and 2 broken in subs. We will see what my bank account allows for. I think I will be selling off the agm’s to go lithium too. Not sure yet. But I have 4 months till the first show of the year to be playing so I better get to it!
