    Need guidance: Ford Raptor build

    Good brotha, lol! The expletive is good. Do you think this is enough volume for 12's, or is it not enough airspace? For now, let's say we'll be using idmax subs with reworked voicecoils by splaudio... Unless something better gets suggested.. The Lexan sides is an awesome idea. If the sides...

    I just measured and the correct length is going to be about 54 1/2"

    CheRRyMan, You're the ****. If I raise the seat by 2 1/2", how much air volume would we have then? 2 1/2" rear seat raise kit Great questions, Silverz. Under the rear seat is as far as I'm willing to go on this truck. Hopefully with a 2 1/2" lift I'll be able to run a pair of forward firing...

    That's killer to have access to that type of equipment. Tons of stuff you can fab for your own special projects. :p To answer your question though, neither. I deliver fuel to the fracs and rigs. We make more than the rig hands, but our schedule is way more brutal.

    Question: For a sub box mounted under the full-length rear seat, what would sound the best... Down-Firing non-ported Down-Firing ported Up-Firing non-ported Up-Firing ported The cleanest design I've seen are these dimensions: However, this was only built for one sub, so it only spans...

    I don't have the necessary woodworking tools to fabricate good fiberboard creations. Also, my lack of experience deters me. I have some killer ideas though, so I'd rather find a trusted a craftsman to build it for me. Great question though. Maybe I could find someone to build and ship my sub...

    I'm sorry, but I'm not going to waste this guy's time. I'm not going to Corpus for an install. It may be worrisome to you, but it isn't to me. The guy you're recommending has a 3.5 rating online, too. I can't say that's exactly attractive. San Antonio. Driving 3 hours to drop off my truck and...

    I appreciate it, but it's two hours out. For tweaking, quality issues, etc, I'd rather the installer be local. I don't particularly feel like the hassle of what you're suggesting. I'm sure that the guy you're suggesting is pretty good though. Wish he was closer!

    Gotcha. Will go 4" then! I am certainly not as experienced as you so I've got no preference on the center channel. If you think it will hurt the overall sound, I'll leave it out. If you think it'll improve it, I'll do it to it. Update me on the deadener when you can! Much thanks man

    First off, hella thanks bro. Really appreciate what you dropped on here. Great introduction to a lot of brands I was unaware of. Questions: 1) Why 4" in the rear doors if I can fit 6 1/2s? 2) Are you suggesting I don't use the center channel? 3) Is the tantric sound deadener lightweight? I...

    Hey everyone! I need some help and advice on my next build. I just upgraded Ford Raptors from an '11 SuperCrew to a '14 SuperCrew. The '11, I bought used and it had a killer system in it. I didn't realize how awesome it was until I turned on the stereo for the '14. It is a freakin joke. I am...
