White Lightning Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Ok, back to blow through setups ... Well, what I'm looking for in my truck's build ... A good bedcover and accordion boot. A good weather sealer and bed liner material.

scooter99 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 How about a sub enclosure, some subs, a saw, and some time and money? Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CstrokerV Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 They use a type of epoxy for the cab corners so im sure if you do a blow through they can use it on the bed and rear of the cab and get it repainted if you decide to get rid of it later my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aculous Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 cabs are a PITA to weld on too most of the time. In my F250 I was thinking about it but since it has so many bumps and curves (mostly for strength from the factory) stamped in the back, me and a welder friend of mine decided it wasn't worth it. He had a really nice Miller mig that can be setup for really thin material but you have to go really slow and do 1" at a time, let it cool and do the other side to prevent warping. Theres ways to do it right you just have to take the time. Also the accordion boot seemed like a pain too. The cab and the bed move enough where we felt like you would need something around it to not hurt the port/box. But I didn't build the blow through so I would weight my post a lot lower then these other guys who have done it. This is totally my opinion but I hated my center console box. Take that with a grain of salt, it wasn't ported and probably not the best config. But I would do an underseat setup or behind the seat. Also depending on if you have a bench or 60-40-60 in the back you could do a decent sized box if you converted the back to two captains. I contemplated that when I was going to redesign my box.

Also depending on if you have a bench or 60-40-60 in the back you could do a decent sized box if you converted the back to two captains. I contemplated that when I was going to redesign my box. Thank you for your input it's appreciated. Actually it's going to go in a 2006 F250, and unfortunately, unless I build a new seat as an enclosure, there is absolutely zero room under that seat. As it was I was contemplating gutting it for an amp rack. I may still do that. But I have other ideas now. I thought about a center console enclosure as well, and I will most likely do one anyway, because I'll want one for my mid bass up front. I can't really go to captains chairs, although it would be really cool to do, because then I could just do a center console build from front to back, but I need the space. My girls are getting older, and there are going to be times where we go somewhere and we'll need all that room. We went to the mountains recently with my sister in law and took the truck, and we rode and fit quite nicely. So the 60/40 split seat in the back is going to have to stay I think. I'm not 100% committed to the blow through yet, I just wanted to hear from some folks in case I do get that committed. You all are helping me greatly. Thanks for all of your input.

scooter99 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Oh I forgot, last night I was going to ask this and I got distracted. How many of you that have done blow throughs, have cleared in front of the port. For instance, along the lines of what aculous said, removing the bench seat and putting in captains chairs? Did you notice a big difference in sound when you did that? How many of you notice a sound difference when you fold your bench seats down from in front of the port? Do the guys with Crew cabs, or extra cabs, roll around with that rear seat down like a car guy would in a trunk build? Or do you just say eff it and let it be what it is? Thanks!

sprkn_ranger Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 In my single cab ranger, It gets noticeably louder if I lean forward and pull the bench seat forward ( and for anyone wondering, no I don't drive around leaning forward and pull the seat forward lol) I'm looking for a pair of bucket seats to put in there and expect that to make a pretty big difference.

moredbs Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 In my avy it sounds good with the back seat up, but sounds much louder,and moves more air with the seat down.When i ride solo,the seat is down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Keep in mind you don't have to do a full blow through either. I've seen a lot of fourth orders done where the blow through is no more than the width of the port. I've seen it done many others as well THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.
