2004 F-150 4 Kicker 10s

[t1990le 10+ year member]

Here is the build log for my new 4 Kicker CVR 10s in my 2004 F-150. They will be powered by a RD 1750 @.5 ohm. Box comes out to be right at 5.5 net after all disp and bracing. 8in aeroport tuned to 36hz. Im almost done with the box now. All I have left is bracing, putting on the front of the box, and covering it. On to some pics:

Your not a retard. I just wated to try and make sure that the port doesnt move at all. I have it glued but i just wanted to make some extra precautions. lol

Thats what i thought. How are you going to cover them? Spraypaint over the bracket thats in the port and cover the other half along with the box?

What's up with the pop-outs on the face of the box in your design? I'm assuming you had to mount the subs in the middle due to space restrictions behind your seat?

Yea ill probably end up painting the ones in the box. The whole outside I was planning to cover it with the bed liner stuff.

The pop outs are supposed to be my amps lol Space restrictions and lack of enough wire are also restricting me to actually keeping both amps behind the driver seat. Ill have to mount one of my amps on top of my box :/

Thank you sir. I didn't die over wanting these subs but I got all four of them with full replacement warrenty for 300 and some change //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Got all the sanding done today and the terminal cup in. I would of started painting today but the stupid weather wouldn't allow me too :/. I have some free time tomorrow so, weather permitting, it should be painted by tomorrow afternoon. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Got it painted and got er in just in time for christmas First couple of test songs sounded amazing. Much, much louder than my 2 RD Alphas. All in all im happy to say that these subs exceeded my expectations. Unfortunately, they exceeded my bracing as well and they r trying to bust the box apart at the top in the middle (my guess is thats the weakest part of my box. So now, Im going to try and rebrace it more internally and externally and go from there. Thanks to eveyone who has commented here and has followed my build. Im planning to meet MR MT soon so I can get this bad boy metered. My last setup was one RD Alpha 12 sealed on my 1750 @ 2ohm an it was 129 sealed and 132 with drivers window open in the kick. I know for a fact that this setup is wayyyy past 132 lol. Anyways, heres some final pics:
