I know but I f****** got it on my mind today I was putting it in and I wanted to hear this f*****. With this install I should get a lot of rise but that means efficent. I swear bro it's at least one 156 as is. I can barely drive. It hurts. I think I'm gonna get dual 1s.

yeah i get it but dont make a stupid mistake by being anxious. it's going to be much more upsetting when something fails for weeks or months rather than a few days or 2 weeks of waiting for it to be supplied properly.

Whatever broke sounds so bad I don't even want to turn it up I think I'm pretty close to f****** the windshield up

optima batteries ****, mostly because they're priced higher and though of as better batteries because of the past but they just arent anymore

a 220 what? has it been clamped at 220? whats the idle output?

No clue money. Matter fact it ***** at idle I need a smaller pulley. It a good unit though because with my 3500 and a red top I just got initial sag and it world say at about 13.5

FOR trim panels I take a piece of card board and trim it to fit then I have a template

I have also done this.

compass to image the structure

This is good too. Compass onto cardboard to test before you start wasting wood would be optimum IMO.

loctite high density insulation.

Is indeed very thick and rigid. More money than the Great Stuff, but far superior for filling gaps in a build like this.

I swear bro it's at least one 156 as is.

What does the meter say?

Also does it play music with the seat in? As it sits I think tuning will be a lot lower than you expect with the driver's seat where it's sitting.

Yea I think I'm tuned about 3 hz lower. It's begging for more port area. When I crack the window the drivers aren't nearly as loaded. It's louder with one window cracked. Need more port area so that BS goes away.im have to weld the roof black back. I'm looking a ton of output now.

Lets just put it this way. It hurts. I recently heard 6 15s on 12k and he does 158s music(window down). I'll wager I'm 2db down with a 220 amp alt and old redtop.. I'm gonna just get dual 1s in a month or so once I get my electrical system squared away

I think I told you that before you even started. Hope you left yourself a plan to make that bigger and just hope you don't wish you had more airspace.

Anyway, I thought you had a meter? What does it say?

Naw. I know a local judge. I'm at work. It's not completely sealed off yet and the roof needs welding..

@HighSPLs
I need some advice man. What to do with the roof without getting thrown into extreme? It's pretty much broken.

Should be as long as u can put factory headliner back up doesn’t matter what u do to the roof. Might be different for what organization ur in

The usaci rulebook says nothing past the biller. Broke the welds on the factory brace. I'm serious scared to break the window. And it's at high 10s. Smh. Think it's time I just bite the bullet and get a new truck

You think the 5.3 can pull 8000 pounds?
