mikey060 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) Hey Guys, new to the forum so i figured i would post up my current build. I am a friend of Clay's (The A Team)and he is my supplier of all things DC I hope this might be of interest to you guys, shows you the versatility of DC products and it is something a little different. I am just going to copy my other thread, here is the original if anyone is curious. http://www.fiberglassforums.com/showthread.php?t=12039 ______ This will be my build log as i attempt to put a 12" DC Audio Level 3 into my dash in the stock glove box location. It should be interesting... The vehicle.. I used to run a DC audio Level 5 and a stetsom 2k in my truck. Unfortunately it required a much larger box then i would like in my truck and it was not practical as i use my truck for 4wheeling quite often. So i decided to downsize and keep as much usable cab space as possible. A comparison of the Level 3 (on the left) and the Level 5 (on the right) the box, as you can see it took up the entire backseat behind the driver Naturally the next best place for a sub in my truck is the glove box so that's what i set out to do.. after 2 layers of glass mat That,s basically where i am at right now. The original Plan was to do 1 cf sealed if i could fit that however as it stands right now Im at around .85 cubes for just the back part of the box. After adding the front i will possibly be over 1.5 cubes. if that is the case i will be porting this using a 4" aeroport. thanks for looking, stay tuned..:cool: Edited April 20, 2010 by mikey060 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey060 Posted April 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 here is what i have got done today so far.. first problem which i had anticipated i decided it would be easier to relocate my tweeters to the a pillar and i also save myself from losing a lot of volume in that corner. the imagining from those speakers is just how i like it but i cant imagine the a pillar being too different. i will mount the tweeter on the little black triangle, the mirror mount, at a later date. this pic shows how much room you still have. i am 6'3" and can comfortably sit without bending my legs in. obviously you would not want to take this truck on a road trip with a passenger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikey060 Posted April 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Got a little more done today, would have done more but i ran out of resin Figured a way to harness the box to the truck removed the stock grommet in the firewall marked and drilled a hole then inserted a 1/2" bolt with washer too long much better view from outside the passenger window. from a thieves point of view The one bolt through the firewall holds the box in nice and secure however it still needs some vertical support. Also needs the vertical support to help level it out so the glove box looks proper. I will make some sort of bracket tomorrow to help support it. Will be in the red circled part of the picture below. apparently the last bit of resin i used was a little old. it was only about a quarter of a quart that i used. its a nice money color haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
