That definitely sounds like a tough spot to de-rattle. I'm not really gettin tons of flex on anything off the type r. It really just doesn't move enough air. I'll have to go out sometime and crank it just to check though...

I put the type r in with the prefab and the polk amp back in January. It wasnt too loud though, so we'll see if i develop anything new with the crescendo. Haha

Time for a little update!

The raw mdf was way to visible through the back windows, even with the tint, so I painted the box black. It's a pretty bad paint job, so I may end up re-sanding it and doing it again. The black makes it very hard to see if you're just walking by the truck though.

And then I also got 25 feet of KnuKonceptz Kolossus Fleks 0 gauge wiring!

20 feet of blue and 5 feet of gray

The two 250 amp fuses will be going on my power wire. One by the battery, and one by the amp. The 300 amp fuse is for my big three (I'm hoping I got enough wire to get that done too...)

And several wire ends

Now all I need are the fuse blocks! I'm gonna be cutting out all the lengths of wire tomorrow and crimping on the ends. The fuse blocks should be here around wednesday. Once I get all that out of the way, I just need a nice new battery and then the Fi will be next!

Still watching this build. I'm liking what im seeing. How u running power wires? under the truck or inside? Perfect spot underneath to put them and run into cab for me. Length should be good. Did my big 3 with a 5 ft chunk and amp with 20 ft some slack. And any plans to do sonething with door speakers or the doors them selves?

I've also read several reviews where it would get hot. What I thought was strange was that it never went into protect mode. It would get scary hot at times. I will admit that it sounded nice though.

I'll hopefully be getting the wiring done tomorrow night/thursday morning. I found a pretty much perfect spot to route the wire today though from the engine bay into the cab. My truck may be a bit different than yours, but on mine there was a rubber grommet on the outside of the door jamb. The grommet is right below the accordion boot where the wires from the door run through to the cab. The grommet leads straight into the driver side kick panel, and from there it can go straight under the door sill panel and then to the back of the truck from there. Then from the door hinge area, you just have to push aside a piece of foam that leads straight into the engine bay.

The one thing I'm dreading is actually routing the wire to the amp. I want it all to look really clean, so I want the wire to run through the little storage tray under the back seat. I'm gonna put one of the fuse blocks in there too, so it'll be pretty easy to get to. The problem is that I have to run the wire underneath the back quarter trim, and in order to take that out, I basically have to take out every single trim panel in the back of the truck, along with taking off the seat belts (or at least the upper part of the seat belt). I'll try to get some pictures up tomorrow night so that it's easier to see what I'm talking about.

Nice to know that someone is actually interested in this! haha

alright that sounds like a good spot. i wish i wouldve looked a little longer but i found a metal plug under the rear seat that went into the storage compartments under the seats i popped that plug and drilled a couple holes. ur way does actually sound a bit easier tbh except for the remove all rear trim part. only thing i hate about doing anything with the speakers and stuff there takes forever to get to things. goodluck with build tho still tuned in

p.s i never shipped anything but i do have a 5ft chunk of xscorpion 1/0 if u want for ur big3. any took me one of the 5ft chunks to do all of mine
