About to rolls of masking tape on the floor! It runs vertical one way and horizontal the other!

Fuel for the beast! (Me)

108_0019.jpg

Spent 50 bucks on this!

108_0045.jpg

Laid glass up all over the floor! Kinda sticky and hard to take pictures of so this is the only one!

108_0048.jpg

I had a box all framed up to use and I decided it wasn't going to work so I started over! Had the glass layed up and attached to the box but cut it out because I went a different rout!

108_0049.jpg

The box I started!

108_0067.jpg

Cut out the glass!

Sanding and I ran a 3 Inch piece of wood through 2 of my fingers!! Where the bandaid is those 2 fingers were stuck together.

108_0069.jpg

108_0068.jpg

Glass fits in perfect!!

108_0078.jpg

I can't find the actual cut pictures! Efff! Anyways here is the box dry fitted.

108_0076.jpg

Glued and screwed it all together! Had to notch out the back piece of the box so that it fit perfect around the tranny humps.

108_0079.jpg

Glassed the bottom of the bottom of the box into the frame!

Test fitted the box in the truck and it fits like a glove! Btw the wing things off the sides are to make the box look like it goes all the way a cross!

150' of weather stripping!!

108_0251.jpg

Went around the sub holes to prevent leaks!

108_0252.jpg

Weather stripped around the box so I can test it and see what it sounds like before I seal it up!

108_0253.jpg

108_0254.jpg

This came in the mail!

108_0255.jpg

15' of Knukoncepts 12 gauge speaker wire! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS WIRE!!

108_0260.jpg

Bought some heat shrink! Blue for positive, and black for negative!

108_0259.jpg

Soldered all connections on!

108_0262.jpg

Got a metal bowl to flare the port with! Bought some 4" pvc pipe!

108_0247.jpg

Flared the port!

108_0265.jpg

108_0273-Copy.jpg

To make the terminal holes air tight I used this outlet insulator that came with my weather stripping. Also marked positives and negatives!

108_0272-Copy.jpg

Cut hole for port! and weather stripped it!

108_0274-Copy.jpg

Got the port in! Used some plumbers tape to hold it in place!

108_0275-Copy.jpg

Painted the end of port!

108_0276-Copy.jpg

Subs are in! When these were wired I had them for the 2 channel ultimate at 4 ohms. So the wiring is a bit different in the pics then it is now!

In the truck!

108_0281-Copy-Copy.jpg

108_0282-Copy-Copy.jpg

Then my good friend Jason sent me his DD-1 to tune my amps!!

108_0293.jpg

Before the DD-1 came I realized one of the channels on the ultimate was shot so Grandma loaned me the money for the BD-1000!

What that means is I have to re wire all of the subs for 1 ohm! Heres the pictures of that!

108_0294.jpg

108_0296.jpg

Got some carpet from Autozone to carpet the box with!

108_0300.jpg

108_0301.jpg

108_0302.jpg

108_0303.jpg

Made it so I could get into the box if i need to. Id just have to rip the silicone off. That was a dumb idea. and it wasn't necessary.

108_0304.jpg

I let the glue dry over night and then trimmed off the folded over carpet so it sits against the wood nice and tight!

108_0306.jpg

Used this to carpet it! Love the stuff! Its cheap and works good!

108_0309.jpg

Added in two more braces. The subs move air!

108_0308.jpg

Got the box in!

108_0311.jpg

108_0312.jpg

Look what FINALLY came!!

Fosgate Bd1000!

Got this spare piece of wood for the amp rack!

this is coming along nicely man... Looks great... I always wanted a lifted truck.. ur attention to detail is great..

he wouldnt be the first to say they did a 167 with a system like that (one that clearly DOESNT), but i have to say, he didnt beat me anywhere, ive never competed against the guy. If he thinks his does a 167, mine would probably put him in a coma. :hairtrick:
