Bodied B2600ZX Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hello everyone. I'm new here! My name is Josh. I figured I'd write up a little build thread of what I'm working on right now. I'm building an under seat enclosure for my ext cab Silverado to hold my 2 SA8 V2s. This is only the second box I've designed and built. I'm fairly new to audio. I've always spent my money on suspension before subs but I'm coming around now and finally getting some bass! I got all my numbers through the Torres calculator and I drew the box up on Sketchup. I'm not quite finished with the box yet. Should be done in the next couple weeks. And I'm waiting on buying a ct sounds 1400.1 to power these subs. I'll start with the screenshots from Torres and Sketchup Then I bought the subs on Black Friday. And I got a 5x5 sheet of 13 ply Baltic birch for the box. The enclosure is 2 separate boxes with an amp rack in between. The 2 square holes are for 120mm fans to help keep any heat down from the amp. I raised the seat 2" to accommodate the box. Then finally got to test fit the box as one piece. And this is pretty much where I'm at now. I have finished the feet. I'm gonna be putting a truck bed liner finish on the box after I smooth all the seams and screw holes. And hopefully I can get the amp soon so I can power this baby up and get some vids! Thanks for reading! -Josh 2 - Sundown SA 8V2 | CT Sounds 1400.1 | Pioneer DEH-X8500BS | 4/0 Big 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbizerk Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I really like how you raised the seat. Can't wait to see the finished box....so far everything looks nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodied B2600ZX Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Thanks man! It's actually more comfortable now. Your legs sit at a better angle. Your knees aren't all in your jaw. I have to move the hooks on the back of the seat too. The hooks still catch but the seat moves a little bit. I have to take the fabric and cushions out to do that though 2 - Sundown SA 8V2 | CT Sounds 1400.1 | Pioneer DEH-X8500BS | 4/0 Big 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitched Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Looking good fella! Where did u get the seat lifters from? Wasn't sure if there was a good sit online to order those off of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osiris10012 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Looking good. I can't wait to see the finished product. I'm also jealous of how easy it is to do a seat lift in your truck. The brackets on mine follow a bend down so it is a pita. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodied B2600ZX Posted January 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Looking good fella! Where did u get the seat lifters from? Wasn't sure if there was a good sit online to order those off of? I made the seat risers. Some 2x4x1/4 tubing that was cut to what I needed. They work perfectly, jus gotta move those hooks to make it fit like stock again. I should be putting the bed liner on it this weekend. So the box will be finished. I still have to get the amp. I'm considering just getting an SAZ-1200D instead of waiting for the CT Sounds 1400.1. 2 - Sundown SA 8V2 | CT Sounds 1400.1 | Pioneer DEH-X8500BS | 4/0 Big 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
