Thank you sir! I am happy with how it is coming along as well...Things are going relatively smoothly! I'm just waiting for the heart attack when I start getting body and paint quotes!

Evil Trailblazer SS · 08-14-2012, 09:31 AM

The rear panels are done! waiting in the front door pods to install the front component speakers and then it's time to tune in the sound and get this crew booming!

A question for you sir...

I am trying to decide how i want to do my speakers.

In the doors like you or down in the kick panel under the dash. Problem is i am building a work truck. Means i have work boots on, snow, mud, etc...

which of those two mounting options do you think is going to get the least amount of abuse?

mckustomfab · 08-20-2012, 12:22 AM

This is one of the nicest trucks i have seen, I love the interior and the speaker panels came out amazing. Cant wait to see the rest.

mckustomfab · 08-20-2012, 01:21 AM

Also quick throw back, with all the dynamate on the doors how solid to they sound when they shut. I want a good solid thud, and i was thinking about putting some on the inside of the door on the door skin as well as where you did yours. Any thoughts?

The door panel will be the best for you as your feet should never be back that far in the foot well. You'll just have to be careful when getting in and out of the truck. Since its a work truck, a few coats of spray-on bed liner should make the speaker pods nice and sturdy...

Solid as a rock...good solid thud with no chincy vibration...

Never thought to spray it with rock guard even though i plan on spray the entire floor anyways

Thank you very much

Evil Trailblazer SS · 09-21-2012, 07:52 PM

FINALLY got the stuff back from the CNC guy! Time to finish the stereo system and check off the interior from my list of to-do's once and for all!

That interior work is just fantastic. Hope mine is half that nice one day.

Leedogg · 09-22-2012, 08:53 AM

Haven
t looked at the build for a month or so- looking great man!

joe231 · 09-22-2012, 12:59 PM

Awesome work as usual!

I have a couple questions about your sub,
Are you worried about the sub touching the back of the seat and hindering the movement/tearing itself apart?
And do you have dimensions for that box?

Thanks

Posted via Mobile Device

Base Depth - 6.75"
Top Depth - 2.75"
Height - 15.75"
Width - 33"

These are exterior dimensions and with 3/4MDF it makes for .7997cu ft.

The sub barely touches the back of the seat and it never hits anything but the soft foam in the seat. The sub shows zero sign of touching the seat, that leads me to believe everything is fine.

Remember, the crew cab has a very shallow area behind the rear seat and this was all I could fit. In a regular cab, this box would have tons of room!
