And my phone went dead because i used it to much. So i didnt get many pictures of me putting on the deadener. Not like its exciting or anything anyway,

And here is it almost done. i still have 2 sheets that i will use tomorrow.

i didnt have a roller, so i just made a fist and covered it with a rag so it moved over the deadener easier. Its not that bad of a job, could have been better but oh well. it is what it is.

Small updates today.

My fiberglass resin is having trouble drying (i think because its too cold in my shop) so i put a small heater in my box and it worked good. its all dry so i can sand a little bit later on. I also seen some people not even sand, they just put a thick coat of paint. I might do that haha.

These are the wires i did for my small mid range box that you can see on top of the big box in the last pic. I think its pretty neat,

a little metal work for my box. I didnt really have a good idea what to do for the securing of the box to the truck, so im welding up a frame for my box to sit on.

Nice man...this really show how big it is once inside :)

Funny how the people who have a louder system than you will usually give you a compliment about your setup because they know how much blood, sweat, time, and money you put into it. The people who criticize or try and one up you....have a p.o.s to no system at all and will tell you all about this "other" guys system! Saddley I'm sure if I meet this "other" guy...he will probably tell me he thinks your just as annoying as I think you are!

I'm not compensating, just proud of fabricating!

It really is quite large. I thought i would save a lot of space haha. I might just do a single woofer wall LOL. But damn, This woofer hits waaay harder than my four 15's i had. I am really happy with this and pretty excited about buying the new amps.
