I was wondering the same thing. Tuning in to this has definitely given me some ideas for my next build

Awesome job

The "no gasket" look seems rugged. I like it. I also dig those "specialty" washers. They are neat too.

Those Anderson connectors are cool. I plan to utilize some in my build.

And like always, top notch work buddy.

Ha, ha. Thanks bro. looking forward to making more progress.

Thanks. Still have some other areas to work on, so it's not up and running yet. I'm getting antsy though. Can't wait to hear it. Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks, I'm always glad to hear when someone is able to pick up something useful for their build. As for the sealant. No sealant required. There's a big hole in the side of the box.

???? Drawing up a little writers block. Well, I was off the grid for a couple of days. I'm back now, trying to get things rolling. I last left off with the box done with the subs in place. Before the box can go in the amp power cables will need to be replaced. The new box is a few whiskers bigger than the old box hence why the power cables need replacing. How about some pics? I started off by laying out, highlighted in white, the size and location of the new cutout.

Here the floor insulation has been cut to size to show how much of the floor needs to be cut.

A little jig saw action to cut the sheet metal.

Another fine opportunity. The floor sheetmetal is spot welded to a vertical panel on the underside of the Suburban.

At this point the vertical panel is gonna need to come out as well. This is so the cables have enough clearance to loop around the bottom panel and come up and through the floor. This time around I did not have a fancy tool to cut out the vertical panel. I went old school with some tin snip a hacksaw blade and the ever impressive mini sledge and chisle.

The carnage afterwards.

With the sheet metal out of the way. I used some of my fancy cable holders to route the power cables. The cable holders will also keep the cables from rubbing on the sheet metal.

This shot is looking down through the floor at the cables.

This shot is looking from the ground up at the cables before the batteries are in place. Alot of cable snaking around going on here.

With the cable opening all figured out the batteries can go back in. Here is a little action shot of the batteries going back in.

The new cables in place waiting for the new floor cover.

and here is the cable cover in place. The silicon job is a little messy on this one.

Another shot of the finished cable job. Think, box going in place for the next update or the quickest way to get a hernia.

Someone asked what paint I used for the box. Here it is. I used two coats about an hour apart. On the port and port brace bevels I put a thin coat of wood glue to keep the wood from absorbing too much paint and swealling up.
