Thanks bud. I think I'm done for the most part with the exterior of my truck. I don't wanna put any more money into it. I'm probably gonna be parting ways with it in about a year.

Did a little light painting today in the port. Ran out of paint.

Put the rest of the port together.

The truck looks really nice. Wanna see more pics of the enclosure ;)

How are you liking your woofer amp? I recently just picked one up but haven't got around to putting it in just yet. Does it do alright with proper voltage?

Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do that
I can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows

came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream.

oh lawd.

@standardcabspl thanks man.

@accordian. Should be cutting some circles tonight after I go buy a new router. The amp has done me solid for years. I had it to 2 15in T1s for a good year and half in a different vehicle on stock power and never had any voltage issues. My f150 now I think my battery is just toast. So I'm getting pretty bad voltage drop atm. I have my amp set with a dd1 so gains are good. My amp light is even dimming bad. I'm waiting on a few packages in the mail to fix the problem :)

Old battery terminals. Super corroded!

Bolt cutters do great for cutting sky high wire. Below the bolt cutters is my old stock grounds. I couldn't believe the first one when I pulled it out..

Only way I could crimp this monster wire

Sky high 1/0 next to JL audio 0 gauge. Hard to tell but the sky high made my JL look like a baby. The JL is what I'm using for my amp.

Found some new wire at work.. MEGA gauge in 3ft spools :P
