Ill be amazed if you get the SHCA fuse covers to all stay on

I had to zip tie half of mine to stay on

When I make the beauty panel, I might put a piece of plexi in there so if they keep falling off, I'll just remove them all and they'll still be protected by the plexi cover......

But yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

I really like how your box came out man! I think you made a good choice on the finish!

Getting the wire in those fuse holders was a pita for me. looking good though!

Thanks! I ended up using rustoleum oil-based enamel, flat black and gloss smoke gray.

Yeah, I'm using 2/0 welding cable so I don't think it's as bad as SHCAs oversized wire (iirc, that's what you used) but still does not go in easily.

Will hopefully have it playing by next weekend (trying to get as much done as I can between work and this weather).

And by weather, I mean this crap.....really wishing I had a heated garage (or at least enough room to pull my truck in.....I can deal with the cold).

Thanks man!

I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel......getting the batteries and box in the truck was a huge step.

Should have some videos posted here soon!

Small update......

I am digging the box. I am going to be doing 2 15s in my f150 after summer. Did you have any issue removing the seat brackets. I noticed 2 of the bolts are actually body mount bolts

It was a pain in the ass.....look it up on YouTube. There's a few videos showing step by step how to do it. I had to use a breaker bar to get some of the bolts off.

This is what helped me (my truck is a 2007):
