Build for 07 F150 SuperCrew

Do you have a router with a round over bit? I have al sorts of wood tools...from 12" table saw to a nice panel saw...i'm just not good with wood work...I'm better with wiring and such...

Yeah, that's the thing, all the wood tools I have, I've bought within the past couple months. I bought a router yesterday with round over and flush trim bits. I have a jasper jig coming to cut the holes for the subs. As far as taking the end corners off, I was talking about taking a huge chunk off, somewhat triangular in shape. I'll be ok with just rounding off all the edges though.

lol man, at first it took me forever and couldnt figure that shit out. Then Arch from the F150 forums made a tutorial that I found. Then it took me all of 5 mins. Here it is.

Thanks man, I won't be able to get back on it until I get off in the morning. Normally I would bring my stuff with me to work but I'm on the gut truck this set. I'm anxious to get this did. Thanks again.

Ok, Subs got in yesterday and I am pretty much done with the box build. I just have to sand some uneven edges, make the hole in my top baffle bigger, bondo the seams and paint. I put the box in, with the 8's, just to see what it would sound like. I simply couldnt imagine finishing it up by doing all of the above, if it sounded like garbage. Well, it sounded sick as hell, and I wasn't even putting but half the power on them that I want to. I'm trying to sell the PG amp right now(it's birthsheet reads 826rms) and I want to go with a Brutus 1610d. But I can honestly say that I am happy with the way they sound right now.

Anyways, here are some pics. I don't know if they camera started to get drained or what, but some of the pics turned out kind of blurry in the end.

Man wish i had a chance to hear those 1508s in a good setup. Id love to try some. Only person i know with them has his amp horribly tuned..The subs dont get low at all its like there mids and i know the 1508s are better than that.

Thanks. I have the box finished and in the truck. After a week and a half, I'm still waiting for UPS to find my package that has the feet for my plexiglass loading wall. Right now I just have a wedge between the box and the seat, to have proper spacing between the two. They do sound good though. I have pics of the box finished on another computer.

Well, I finally got the Plexiglass loading/protection wall mounted on the enclosure after waiting for UPS and Parts Express to get my parts delivered, after 2 weeks. I am very pleased with the final result and think it looks great. I got the plexiglass cut yesterday at Lowes. The guy working the cutter was obviously a rookie. It took him multiple attempts to get it cut without cracking the piece I needed. Maybe it was just due to his limitation of tools, IDK. I just need to clean the truck out and vaccum, now that I'm finally finished with everything. I'm still waiting for my current sub amp to sell so I can go bigger. Anyways, on with the Pics.

D@mn, that looks great! My buddy wants to do a setup just like this. Great work. How does it sound? Have you gotten it metered yet?
