Dakota build

[mgbadboyz]

I had some old topics asking about some recommendations for subs and i finally settled. I sold my old camaro i was originally doing this build for and decided to build my girl friend something for her 1990 dodge dakota. Its nothing really special but it sounds great.

1990 dodge dakota Ext Cab

Sundown Audio SA-12 D2

Hifonics Brutus brz1200.1d

Belva BAK02 1/0 gauge wiring kit

Kenwood KDC-152 Head unit

Kenwood 6.5 Door speakers

Polk Audio 4x6 rear speakers

Still need to get an amp for the door speakers and get this sub out of this shi*** prefab box thats tuned to 50hz -.-

This will be my next project system after i get the box built for my girl friend.

1993 S10-tahoe

4.3l High Output v6

4x4 lifted 35" bull dog mud tires.

Im most likely going with 2 Sundown Audio SA-12's because i love the way they sound. Will be ported and tuned to 35hz

calm down bro most of my threads dont get attention and I have been on here for years just look at my post count. I love the s10 bro. do subs up port to the side

[mgbadboyz]

Any tips to avoid port noise when i build the box? Last box i built sounded terrible up close.

Finally got a little bit of money put aside and started building my box today. Got all the cuts done and going to start piecing it together tomorrow morning. Will post pics and a demo tomorrow morning.

I'm tuned in for sure

[mgbadboyz]

Heres some pics before glue sets. My cuts are far from perfect but a little sanding should make up for it. Cant help the cut of a skilsaw and a shaky hand. Not to bad for my first box by myself

Working on the cutout for the sub now and going to start gluing!

[mgbadboyz]

Cutout is now done for the sub. Starting the gluing process. Any recommendations for how long to let the glue sit for before putting sub in and using?

Are your power and grounds going into the amp different gauge wire?
