(2) 10'' SSA ICON truck box

[KHARPS 10+ year member]

1.3ft^3 enclosure for (2) 10'' ICONS, with the older cones. Here are a few pics of my progress. I'll have more pictures of the box in my truck when the subs come in

I had to make the back of the box in two seperate pieces to allow me to get around the hump on the back of the cab

And a couple pics with a 10'' BL to show how tight of a squeeze its going to be

what truck?

 

[KHARPS 10+ year member]

1999 Ranger regular cab. I'll get some more pictures up soon when the subs come in. Not too much space behind those seets.

Are the Icons going to fit? That BL seems really close, are the Icon's slugs smaller than the BL's?

 

[KHARPS 10+ year member]

I sure hope they fit. They are listed at 6'' deep and the Bl is listed at 6.25'' deep. I can always make a ring to put on the baffle to give me an extra .75'' if I need it.

Just goes to show the number of slugs in a motor doesn't always translate to it's size. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Good luck with your build, I always wanted to try out an Icon, unfortunately I was in the market for an 18".

I love the baby blue on black theme.

Thanks....they sure look sexy on the screen, I can't wait to see them in person. I just realized that the ICONS don't have a chamfer on the magnet like my Bl does. So they may not fit without adding a ring to the baffle.

Thanks, too bad I'm using them with a Pioneer ts-c720 passive crossover right now. They are not up to their potential, but they still sound very nice.

And a pic showing a peek of the deadening before the rest of the ensolite went on

Notice the Dodge floormats in a Ford. Oh well, hopefully only one more year with this truck anyways....

Looking good.

Thanks. One of the Icons should be here Friday, and I'm not sure if J sent the second one out yet, but I can't wait.

Have you ever listened to the full set of the 720's? I see you went with the Neo's, just wondering how the whole set sounded.

Nice job so far as well.

 

[KHARPS 10+ year member]

I went with the neo's because I bought the set used and one of the tweeters was blown. A replacement tweeter from Pioneer was $100 and wasn't available for a few months. But....I did hook up the one working one for a few songs and it sounded real good to me. If I had a complete working set there would be no reason to switch out the tweets, unless you were to run active.

Well I finished putting the box together today. I had to run up to Home Depot to buy a 2' x 2' sheet of 3/4'' mdf (handy panel or whatever they call it) but they were all out. So I drove down the street to Menards and they didn't have any either (our Menards lumber section must have been set up by a crack head by the way). So I bought a piece of 3/4'' birch plywood instead. Here are a few pics:

And I went to town with the caulk and glue so it should be sealed up real real well.
