is there no vocals in the truck as of right now? or does the camera just pick up too much bass and not enough highs?

There's no power to the front speakers as of right now but it wouldn't matter anyway because as soon as the bass hits it distorts the mic.

Nothing major. Probably a set of coaxial speakers.

Quick video we took of Paco's build immediately after we finished temporarily installing the loading wall. The wall needs to be fiberglassed over, holes sealed up, expanding foamed, etc. Then the entire outside shell of the box needs to come off, wood glue applied, and then re-mount the boards with double the amount of screws. The amps aren't gain matched at all, etc. But even in its crippled state it's pretty stinking loud!

We took out the loading wall / port and got it prepped for fiberglass mat and resin today. We wrapped the bolts with latex so the resin would not get inside the "tubes" and make it hard to get the bolts back in:

Then we laid down fiberglass mat and resin on the back side of the port wall to seal it up completely:

Right now we are waiting on it to dry. Tomorrow we will sand down the high spots on the back of the port face where the glass and resin is and re-install it along with using expanding foam to seal up any gaps.

We put Sundown Audio's FedEx rep in the truck for a demo / hair trick:
