Twostrokeking Posted November 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Today I am moving the drivers side, side in about four inches so I can port out the side. Sound good or no?

Twostrokeking Posted November 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Well since no one replied. I went ahead and did it! first thing I did was break the drivers side off. Here is the new side piece. Put another layer of glass on and glassed, screwed, and glued the new piece on. Looks good i think. I just hope everything still fits in the truck good. I moved it in 5 inches so i have room for the port out the side. I left the front piece where it is because I want it to look like its one piece but really not! I will leave the top piece off though at the side so the port can breathe. Looking at the box from the front of the truck here is where the subs would sit. The right sub on the passenger side. My exact mock up of the sundown sa-8! The left sub. The floor lifts up a bit and there is barely any room. The magnet would touch the bottom. I don't like that. So here is what is going to happen! Subs will fire up and eventually get a grill! won't have to worry about it though for eight months because when I get my license in February I can't have friends in my truck for 6 months. My parents will enforce that! haha that is totally fine though because I respect that they look out for me. I am going to double baffle the top and flush mount the subs. It looks clean and it will prevent the subs from getting as squished if I decide I don't want grills. Please guys, let me know what you think of all this. I am trying really hard.

Twostrokeking Posted November 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Everything I do sonething goes wrong I heard that I will get the best sound if the subs frontfire. Even if I add another 1/2 piece in front of the front the ring won't fit the box , it will overlap the box.. Any suggestions.

Nine8SST Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Do you have access to a welder? Cut the floor and lower it an inch or two...or whatever you need for clearance.. 1998 SS/T Ram Build Log - Kenwood KVT-514 and KNA-G510 Navigation - 2 DC Level 3 12" - Components??? - Sundown ??? - Sundown??? - Knu Konceptz - Second Skin Dampy Pro - XS D6500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twostrokeking Posted November 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Do you have access to a welder? Cut the floor and lower it an inch or two...or whatever you need for clearance.. I got the magnet cleared. It's just the ring. When I started this box it was built for the 12's sealed. So there is a gap between the seat and the top of the box. I am considering taking the box apart and re building it right up to the bottom of the seat. Unless you think firing up will work My Truck BuildSpending money on things I don't need, to impress others I don't know.At the end of the day for me its about the love of customizing anything and everything to limits or even past reasonable.-SkyHighCarAudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71fordranger Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 dont fire up. you will loose most of your bass if you do that. also, just a lil hit for the future, dont second guess your self all the time, asking questions is good, but dont just think that you always wrong,just think, your system will be a lot better than most peoples first set up on here. your doing good and keep it up. also, one thing i would check is that my port wont interfere with the subs or the trany tunnel. Bring on the Rockfords!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a thread somewhere called "free tech advice" or something like that, you might do a search for it and ask Ray what he thinks....but, if you can pull the front off and make work that might be the way to go. 1998 SS/T Ram Build Log - Kenwood KVT-514 and KNA-G510 Navigation - 2 DC Level 3 12" - Components??? - Sundown ??? - Sundown??? - Knu Konceptz - Second Skin Dampy Pro - XS D6500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
