Building a box for my '05 chevy crew cab

[oxsign 5,000+ posts]

The equipment will be...

4 MAW 6.5"

4 Fusion 1" tweeters

1 Sundown 125.2

2 DD 2510 with CF cones

1 Sundown 3000.1

This will all be going into an '05 crew cab.I took out the back seat, cut & re-drilled the brackets to move the rear seat forward an extra 2.25". After that, I measured the space available to get a total of 3.29 cubes gross. After sub & port displacement (2 4" aero ports) I will end up with 2.88 cubes net tuned to 34Hz.

The front baffle is just sitting in there. This is why you can see the gap on the right side.

Here is the seating with me in the seat. I'm 5'9" 190, and I have about 5" between my knee and the back seat. The front seat is set at where I drive it.

This is just to show that the comfort wasn't compromised much by moving the rear forward.

I'll try to get some later. All I really did was cut the "hump" and redrilled the "foot" to bolt it back up. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Thats coming out pretty good looking. Nice work on moving the seat to get some more room, seems all the crew cabs from the big three have next to nothing for room for a system.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build.

Looks good, I like the face of that box. I can imagine its a tight squeeze back there, but well worth it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

Very small update, but still an update non the less.

I got the 2nd fatory batt tray in (thx Ty) and batt. I still need to make the connections. Now I need to go to autozone to get a batt hold down. Then I do the big 3, and hook it up.

The tray

Where it's going

And it's in

I know this build is taking a long time, but it will get done. I'm doing everything I need electrical for now. I just did my BIG 3 upgrade, and added my 2nd battery.

(2nd battery)

I still need to run the 0 awg and a fuse holder between the batteries, but I ran out of wire, lol. I'm waiting till my buddy gets home. He has plenty to spare.

Nice and clean. What size fuse did you use between the alt and bat ?
