dcofer Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 So Earlier this year I picked up a new truck, 2011 Silverado and decided I wanted to change out from my old Hifonics / Kicker system and try something new with less economy equipment (for me that is). System plans: Sundown Audio SA-8 v.2 (x2) (Arrived) Sundown Audio SAZ-1500D v.3 (Arrived) Sundown Audio SAX-125.4 (Arrived) Compnents (front)(looking at Hertz) Coaxial (rear)(Looking at Hertz) Rockford Fosgate 3sixty.3 (Arrived) Fiberglass Under Seat Box (hopefully room to port to 35Hz) XS Power D3400 Secondary Battery Under Hood (Arrived) Big 3 upgrade 3 Runs Knu Konceptz 1/0 to amplifiers Wire Reducers at Amplifiers Factory Deck (steering wheel controls and stock look) So on with the pics!

dcofer Posted November 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Finally done with important stuff and have time for this build. Also I have most of the components in so time to start designing. I want to keep the rear seat usable so the box will be under the seat which forces me to use fiberglass. And since Chevy farked up the silverado design (Lower chassie and body lifted for increased fule economy, which by the way wasnt worth the changes) Air space its a commodity (trying to squeeze .75cuft/sub ported after displacement though might not get ported if it drops it too much). I have never messed with fiberglass before and while I feel I could figure it out on my own I will accept my newbie status and ask for tips from both experienced ppl and other less experienced ppl on what I should do and what I should not do along with any tips tricks or other advise. I am currently missing the wiring so the system is a ways from being functional however I should be able to get the box and amplifiers installed while I wait.

dcofer Posted November 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 That is def what I am hoping for, they are taller and heavier then the Kicker L5 12s I have sitting in my dining room. I cant wait to get them up and running, just hoping I can give them enough space. I just wish they hadnt messed up the floor under the rear seat of the silverados, that is whats giving me the most trouble with the design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLTON94 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Could lay down some tape and make a glass mold of the top and then just add a top so you can calc box volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcofer Posted November 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Thats kinda what I was thinking, Tape off the floor and make the bottom then work from there, what is a good thickness for fiberglass? I heard ppl talk about being able to stand on it but that seems kinda arbitrary to me since weight varies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanSierra Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Are the extended cabs THAT much different from the Crew cabs? My dads crew has plenty of flat useable space under the rear seat and its wide open. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
