Got tired of the black suede around the speakers. Doing some new pods these will be wrap in vinyl to match the doors. Just having trouble finding a color to match the doors. Worse case they will be wrap in suede to match the doors.
Been spending too much time with my kids not enough building the truck. Little change of plans will not be running the 3 15's XXX. Here is a pix of the truck and i'll be working on the this weekend.

I know this has to be one of the slowest build ever. Got some new terminals in the mail. Just waiting for my new battery to come in. Also pulled some of my old Stinger wire and replaced it with some Kicker Hyperflex. Wrap the wire with some Techflex. I only had about 40 ft's of it and ran out fast. So I need to buy some more. Let me know what you guys think.
I have some more techflex coming in next week. I also was able to get a Stinger 1500 battery for just about 100 bucks new. That should also be here next week. Looks like I'm going to be working on the truck next sat. Will have picture for you guys. Last week I received my 4th RE XXX motor. Just need save a bit of cash to recone them.
They are only 24's i'm poor and can't afford 26's. I did a 3 inch drop all around tires don't rub. I'm thinking in a year or so i can move up to 26's.
Going to make some new door pods. 2 6 1/2 on each door. Tweeter and 4 mid on the A pillar. 5 1/2 and tweeter on the kick panel. Plus not sure if i'm doing 4 15's 4 12's not trying to lose the whole truck bed.
So last week I received the techflex but no heat shrink. So I couldn't work on re-wiring my truck.
Instead I played around on fiber-glassing my a-pillars. 1st time doing A pillars so will see how they turn out. Ran out of time so will see if I can make some time to work on them this weekend.
Last week I also bought a brand New Stinger 1500 from ebay. I only paid 108 including shipping. Giving you guys a preview of how its going to look under the hood.
i just put 26s on my hoe.. man i hit around 65mph and starts to shake like crazy lol... the rims are heavy as hell their like 3 times the weight of the cheap ones and the good thing is that i have the made in the usa ones lol those are wrapped in pirelli tires..
anyways does your steering wheel shake at high speed? do u even go any higher than 60mph??
The rims are dirty dogs right? Your truck looks clean. I was looking into dirty dog and big homies before buying the kmc. Honestly I hate my rims, I had the truck sitting on 33 toyo m/t and it drove better. I do feel a bit of steering bump when getting closer to 70-75 at 60 it drives good. When I had 33's 80-85 was a smooth ride. As you can see those rims will be for sale soon. I recently dropped close to 2k on suspension upgrades and it still doesn't ride right. My guess there isn't enough meat on the tires.
I know i started this build early this year and have done much. I just moved from apt to a house so now its time to get started on the build. Got some buss bar made from toolmaker.
the first gen RE XXX is a "SQ" sub, but I sure wouldn't use a 4th order bandpass enclosure if you're going for a SQ setup.. they are either peaky and boomy one-note wonder boxes, or they are flatter in response, and just don't offer anything over a sealed box as a result. They just use up more space.
Thanks, Okay so I've been running a single 15 RE Destroyer on a mmats 3500.1. I'm impress how low and loud this sub is. Good thing I have 3 other motor. Sub just need to be build.
Few of the motors I picked up. Am I was thinking of running SS 10000D. Sold amp and now running a DC 5k soon to be a DC7.5k or AB750.1 Sneak peek of who the sub will look. Basket will be painted the same color as the truck.
Also i'm changing my front stage. Moving both 6.5 to the doors. Running a 4" and tweeter on the A pillars.
Everyones just been away man, it took you this long to build it. you of anyone else gotta know what it's like to be busy with things. Honestly I give you lot's of props on sticking with it. Those motors look nuts. I assume thos baskets are 18' ? How the hell do you lift all that stuff without ripping a nut? I thought my hifonics brutus 1606d and Fi Q 12' were heavy but man you gotta be packing on 600 pounds with the box woofers, basket and batteries not to mention 5 pounds of wire. I love audio but my back can't take much more of it and I think my father is going to shoot me. All that aside. Finish the build log! you came this far. display your hard work man. also do you Recone those bad boys yourself?
Since this is my last build I went big on it. I know there are bigger system out there but I still think its big.
HU: Pioneer 4300DVD FS: 2 sets Mmats Pro 641 FS Amp : American Bass VFL 350 SUB : 4 12 Destroyer with TC basket TC softparts Sub Amp : American Bass VFL 1100.1 3 Runs of + 3 Runs of - DC power Dual Alt kt DC power 300A, Singer 275A 7 Odyssey 1700's
For the front stage I will be running 2 6.5 on the doors. A pillar will have a 4" mid and tweeter. Kick will also have a 4" and tweeter. I've been kicking the idea of going active and running a 3sixty.3.
Also had to install some air lifter bags to help with the weight of the system. Couldn't help not have a system so I installed a 18" TC 5200 for now. Running it with my AB1100.1 @ 4 ohms. Might be getting 3K out of it.
Things that been completed. 6 Runs of OFC wire 1 DC SPX300 Alt 7 odyssey 1700's Front stage
Things to do.
Dual DC alt bracket Singer 275A alt Lots of 0 gauge run from the battery to amp. Sub and more sub's.
Wow. I'm at a loss for words. Well, apparently I'm not!!! I too question the placement of the batt bank but to each their own I guess. I sure hope you don't launch boats or do some serious off roading lol!!! Nice gear though and good job thus far.
The truck has a 3-3 lowering kit, that not including the batt and subs. Also with 24" rims no way i'll be doing any off-road. Pickup the sub's yesterday amazed how great they look.
