Project F350: Mini build/builds

I decided to keep the current project with my new rig pretty simple at the moment. I'm sure some of you were expecting something crazy, but I have some other investment plans at the moment //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/sneaky.gif.7189749b3a3f769e8815b47e8ae87f88.gif

Anyways, i already had a pioneer premier f90bt, image dynamics CTX components, and a DSC2150 in the rig, as well as a DSC 1500.1 in my closet. The plan is to add a substage behind the rear seat, as well as fab up some fiberglass A-pillars for the CTX tweeters.

I had the urge to play around with some 8's so i picked up a pile of REX8's on ebay for much cheaper than i thought i could find them for.

I was actually expecting much less than what they truly are. Rather beefy drivers actually, very comparable to E8's at first glance (i've been doing some testing with E8's in my girlfriends car). Im curious to see how they will perform in comparison. After i get six in my rig, i'll try to do a direct swap with the e8's in my girlfriends escape and see how they do.

Im going to start off with six in a ported box, and will eventually compare to 8 in a sealed box.

Here is the initial plan. 2cu ft @ 29hz, which modeled up surprisingly well. RE has minimal reccomendations of .3cu ft each.

The wood is cut, buuuutt i just pulled my camera out, and the battery was dead, so pics wont be up until tomorrow.

You sure its going to work with some of the subs so far away and basically sealed off from the port opening?

Glad to see you installing again. Pics of the truck?

Too be honest, I'm not really sure how the response is going to be.Like i said, a series of boxes will probably be built. I've never tried to put this many subs behind the seat of a pickup before, so its more or less an experiment.

Ridn, no big projects for me at the moment. School is first right now. I got a job offer i need to meet the req's for, so project time is limited

Intresting setup. Theres very little room for anything in our CC trucks (I own a chevy CC).

Good news and bad news.

Bad news is i've been slacking HARD on taking pics. I've been busy so i just work on the box in between classes. Its almost done, just needs sanded and painted.

Good news, i proposed to my girlfriend last night and she said yes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I'll try to get some pics up.
