[quote name='Oaman5']when you search accordion boot the first link is the one I was going to buy from but if I bought 6 feet I think it was the same exact price for 10 feet on amazon lol I'm going to buy mine from Amazon for 55 bucks man pretty decent price. Here's the link man http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IT...rdion+boot&dpPl=1&dpID=41k2vt8VvvL&ref=plSrch

Btw I'm not going to need that much tbh maybe like 5 feet in all if you want to buy some from that's left over let me know[/QUOTE]

Thanks man I appreciate it! I think I'll need more than 5 feet but thanks for the offer! My cutout is 34" wide and 8" tall so I'll probably need like 7-8 feet.

I'm honestly not sure about how big to cut the hole. I was young at the time and didn't trust myself so I had the audio shop do it that built the box. Sorry man! I know there are some guys that have done blow throughs on here. Hopefully they will chime in and help. I think @CSCStang has a blow through but I'm not sure if he used a boot??

Cut the hole about 2" wider than the od of the port all the way around for wiggle room. Yes I do use accordion boots (can be bought at most camper shell outlets). Op, the more square the port is the better for airflow. Keep in mind that the cabin and bed floors typically don't line up even so make sure you know exactly where to cut before you do. Use black silicone to seal up the boot on each side as well.

Thanks for helping out man!

Quick question that might help out the OP.

Is the cutout on your truck completely square or did you round the corners? Seems like the boot would be easier to install if the corners were round? But then make the port square like you said and just fill in any gaps near the corners with silicone?

The cut out can benefit from the edges being a little rounded cause it's tough getting that boot to square off in the corners. What I'm saying about the cut out is low height and large length isn't optimal imo. I silicone the whole perimeter on both sides not just the corners. Hope that helps?

This is gonna be loud. I put 4 HDS312s in a 4th blowthrough on 1 AP 3k in a buddy's truck and it's loud but begging for more power.

Looking good my man. I love seeing f150 builds. I have a 2002 f150 that my system is in, but it's not a blow through lol.

Is your truck extended cab? And what motor? I also use a Mechman 240 amp alternator.

Only thing that's thats doubled is where the subs screw into I will be adding crap loads of bracing.

cool. I like to use threaded steel rods with a flat lock and nut on the inside and outside on each wall that's braced. its stupid strong..
