Please Help with 4th order design - Better Higher tuned design on page 2

padding will not be needed around the box if the box is built right, just saying. if the box is rattling the toolbox, then the box is vibrating and needs bracing.

It's pretty heavy gauge steel. I'd honestly say it's about 3/16 to 1/4" thick. Ok maybe not 1/4" but it's a toughly built box. I'd hate to cut a side off, BUT I'll DO IT DAMN IT! I'm just being silly now! Sorry guys, I'm in love with my design and I want it to work!

So are the walls of the toolbox the walls of the box? Or is it a whole box inside the toolbox?

LOL

Ummm yes! It's basically a box that will be built to fit in the tool box. The tool box is cause I don't have a tonneau cover or a shell. This will keep things locked up, and weather proof. People will think it's just a tool box from the outside. Plus it sits below the bed rails so it's hardly seen from the street.

So it'll be a box within a box.

Sorry guys, I also plan on bracing it with all thread and nuts. I'm sure the back wall would flex quite a bit given the length of it. I just didn't picture the bracing, probably should've put that in there. I'll edit it now.

Then rattle should be an issue. Commence building.

Ok edited the original post to tell about the bracing rods as well as add the pictures of the amps and amp rack.

Wait should or shouldn't?

Hey guys, what about tuning? Is the tuning ok or should it be higher?

[stanbro]

from what I've read around the forum.. higher like 45ish+..

Should not. My bad.

Ok thanks guys. I'll tune it higher and get to building!

Build log is in my sig if you all wanna follow along! Again, thanks!!
