05 Chevy Colorado - 4 VVX 8's, VXI65's Daily Driver

[Owen Hix]

Well this is my first build log as I am somewhat new to the forum, so here goes-

I drive a 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext. cab. Love the truck but not a lot of room, so that means the back seats were coming out.

Lets start up front and go from there.

Up first we have the big 3 upgrade-

Shout out to corona_jeff on hooking me up with this XS D3400 to put under the hood-

With all of that done, Let's run some leads to where the back seats were-

Now, I had a double din Pioneer in here but i decided to take it out so I had a place for some meters, went with the Kenwood 352U-

Meter Time! (This pic is with just the accessory on thats why they are low and the 3rd one is for the amp I didn't have at the time)-

Here's the box I built, 3 cubes, tuned @ 28hz, 4" aero port-

Lets put those VXI65 Components in the doors quick-

Not really an amp rack because it was supposed to raise the box up for an extra batt.. but I didn't end up doing that, and the amp CJ18 hooked me up with.

And finally, here it is all mounted together and installed in the truck-

She sounds good and I like the way it turned out. I will edit this later when I get a better video of it than just off my phone so you all can see it in action. I am only running this amp at 4 ohms at the time, so i know i am really underpowering these subs. Any feedback is welcome and thanks for taking a look.

Heres a little vid i did today after work. only 2 of the subs are somewhat broke in so I'm hoping it will get a little lower. and like I said above, only running about 750w to them.. gonna be wiring to 1 ohm soon.

Why 4 ohms

[Owen Hix]

i figured this would come up. since they are the dual 2 ohm coils I either had to run 1 or 4. and right now I don't have the power to back up the 3.5k at 1 ohm. eventually I will probably switch it over once I get my bank back up. haha

**UPDATE**

So i did a rebuild here in the last couple months,

I added 2 d3100's and got rid of my vvx 8's for a pair of zvx 12s. Had pictures all ready to go on here but i ran over my phone with the forklift at work and no longer have those..

however tonight i found my flip cam to take a couple video's (sorry for the poor quality):

running these at 1 ohm on my dc 3.5k

lemme know what you guys think

part of the back wall flex sounds bad, but its these little vents with flaps on them from what i can tell so air from the cab comes through them.

They are cabin vents.

thats what i figured. any use sealing them up or let em be?
