This is pretty much a recap over everything that I have done through the past couple of months. I have completely changed my sub stage from DB audio equipt. to RD and upgraded all of my electrical.

On to pics:

I got rid of all of my Theft Stickers

1awg Welding Cable, 200 BP Alt and Optima Yellow Top (I got bored the other weekend and cut the black battery cover up to fit the new YT so it doesnt just have wires sticking out everywhere)

I have been having problems with my port so i sealed it up good and tight and am now waiting for my pair of Aeros to come in late this week hopefully.

I am open to all comments and any constructive criticism. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
I really need to do something with my F150 soon...yours looks good //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Thanks, if you need any help shoot me a pm and ill try to give you some advice to steer you away from doin something the hard way lol.

 
You should swap out the dual 4 gauge wire to a single run of 1/0.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

 
Nice build. What are you using to secure the box in place? Or is it heavy enough to stay in place?
Thanks,

it has little feet on the bottom of the box to balance the weight and lift the box enough that the subs dont hit the floor. And its heavy as $h!t lol also the back of my seats are a big help also.

I have a piece of 0 that i did use as a gnd but it is too short for me to have the amp in the middle. I might put it back on when i get the aero ports in since ill have to move my amp then. But even now i dont have any voltage issues. The truck stands at 14.4 at idle and drops to about 13.8 at lowest with the ac running and lights running //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
sounds good man look at that bed cover flex lol great job
lol thanks a lot for any of you that cant realize it. thats a soft bed cover lol That would be scary loud if it did that to a hard cover lol

 
Here are pics of how i blocked up my port hole and my modded battery cover i like the cover bc it makes everything under the hood look alot cleaner. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You need a forklift to get that box in and out of the truck. When are we going to install come comps? I need to practice some tweet pod building on YOUR truck.
if you got some extra comps and tweets and a 4 channel and all the wiring ill be more than happy to let you throw it in my truck //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I need somethihng bad dude i have all BASS now and no music //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif lol I will eventually build a mini fork and keep it in the bed for when i need to get the box in and out. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif oh and BTW, i texted you today 2x and no response WTF lol. This man here is responsible for the amazing port seal thats in the above pics ^^ If you need anything cut out of wood just make sure you dont get the dimensions backwards //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif lol stereo knows what im talkin about lol.

 
Measure once and cut it twice...same deminsions just bassackwards. BTW..the phone is in the wife's car. I left it there after going to a reception for the University of Alabama last night down at Coca-Cola HQ. Going to see U2 tonight at the Georgia Dome so I'll get it back then. Donate some comps and 4 channel amp..LMAO! What do you think this is? A freakin loan shop for car audio? I got kids here eatin up all the extras I have sitting around. I had to lock some up to save them for later.
