Catch22s s10 build

[catch 22]

its about time I start a build log for my truck. Like most this build will be a slow one. I will prolly be asking for advise/help along the way. Well , here we go.

Vehicle is a 97 s10. It's a lil beat up with scratches and dents and needs a paint job. But hey, it's a truck.

Only pic I have of my last setup

[catch 22]

^^ this was ran with a d3400 under hood, big 3, stock alt, no secondary batt, no sound deadener. Alpine mrx-m240, db drive a8 250.4d sounded ok I guess.. It was my first time building a box. It had leaks in it and highs were harsh as fuck

[catch 22]

So far I stipped out the interior and later down some deadener. I got some help along the way

[catch 22]

And the doors. Should I cover up these big ass openings in the door or no? I know if I do it will act like a sealed enclosure. But some speaker are meant to be in a free air type application. What u guys think?

Good start so far. 100% seal off those holes! No speaker is meant for free air. Infinite baffle sure on some drivers. You will have plenty of air space in the door and will have much more midbass. The problems are when you take an infinite baffle speaker then put it in a tiny sealed enclosure. You don't have to have anything fancy to do the job. Usually I just use some metal flashing and hvac tape. Then use deadener over that.

Metal flashing? Like sheet metal?
