1994 Ford F350 CC Build- Stalled out for a bit! Sorry!

That's about 90% how I made it. The subs are on the left (passenger side) and instead of the port out the top, I did the port out the side on the driver side. It's about 80% done now. I have pics uploading but I have to leave in about 20 minutes for my playoff game (softball). If I win at 7pm we play again at 9pm. Maybe if that's the case, I can figure out how to do photobucket on mobile, I already have it, and I'll do the update then. Otherwise it'll either be later tonight or first thing tomorrow morning.

Ok so here are some pics of what I got done yesterday. I may change up the port now though. I think it needs a bend in it, cause the more I look at it the more I'm worried about unloading issues. Check it out, let me know what you guys think!

Remembering that this is just with the scrap I have around the house. I was trying not to use my birch cause I would like to use that sheet for the doors that have to get done. But I had some scrap birch around, aside from the sheet, and a full sheet of 1/2" MDF as well. So that's what I'm using.

Now, to put it together!

Glued and screwed! I thought about using finish nails, but I had limited time to work on this, I think about 3 hours, and I was frankly too lazy to walk out to the shop to get the nails. So I used the screws I had right inside the garage! LOL!

All together. Now time for the port!

So this is what I was looking at last night and thinking about. It's just a straight port and the subs will be on the other side opposite the port. SO the port is facing right at the subs. This is why I'm worried about the unloading issues. I may re do it and wrap it up and back. Not sure that makes sense but basically take it and bend it up and back facing the side. Not sure if side facing or if up facing the port will be best. If I face it up out of the top, then it'll be going up behind the seat and out. On the side, I have about 5-6 inches before the side panel on the truck. Suggestions are welcome!

Tacked the back on, it's not glued or attached permanently. But this is basically what it will look like when I'm done!

So I took the back off then, and set it down and puddled a nice bead of glue all around the whole interior. Went and looked at it today and it's dried nicely. Although now I have to take the port out and redo it. Oh well!

So there it is. I'll try and work on it some more tonight, but I doubt I'll be able to touch it before the weekend. We'll see.

Ok, I couldn't pass up a deal so to help with the power on this thing, and to get the power started for the main build, I picked up one of Orionstang's XS Power D6500's. I wish I could've bought both but I just don't have the money right now. Maybe I can run into some in the next day or so and if he still has it I'll get it too.

Still need to get to a junk yard and look for a 130 amp stock alt for the truck. I think this one isn't that big. But as stock higher output alt is gonna be better than nothing. Till I have money to get the BIG BOY ALT anyway! I also need to research the add a battery feature for these trucks. I know there is an ability cause the diesels have it, I've seen on the other forum, but i've not researched it enough. Two XS D6500's up front would be nice!

Here's what needs to get done to the box:

New port

Cut port hole

Cut sub holes

Cut second baffle for counter sink

Bracing Rods. Gonna pick up a couple pieces of all thread today for it.

Sand and fill holes

Paint

So still some work to do before I can get her in, but it's coming along! More to come soon!
