Yes I have.

Too broke to afford something newer. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

4.3

Runs strong as hell, even though theres some electrical bug that I can't figure out. Temperature gauge never cracks 100 degrees.

Yeah, it's no show winner but I'm pretty happy with the way it sounds so far. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Are you using zip ties to hold on your gas pedal ?

The six 8's setup is strictly for daily, so it'll get swapped out for competitions.

Good thing otherwise I'd be calling you TommySQ every chance I could //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

WTF? TommyK and SQ setups do not go together at all. next thing you know James Bang will have a ground pounder.
I blame mlstrass. He is a bad influence on us all.

No worries as JB doesn't know how to get loud, that's why he's an SQ guy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

But I'd still like the hear the 10's in his front doors, especially since they're not PA crap //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Those hold on a turnbuckle which I can tighten to hold the RPM's up for competition purposes. Most people have to shove something in the idle screw under the hood. I found this easier to do.

All I need now is a good set of ears to help me tune it a little better, though I don't have much to change since I'm only using the onboard crossovers.

what are the box dims (sorry if you posted them, wanna go to bed, not read 4 pages) Im thinkin about ditching my 10" shallows for a couple or 4 8's. Will prolly be re-building over the winter because my truck will need a cage soon. Ill be doing 11's on the quarter WITH sounds!! w00t!!!

50" wide, 11.5" tall, 7.5" bottom depth, 5" top depth (I think, I'll have to measure tomorrow)

Box is also made of 1/2" mdf to try and get as much airspace I could without sacrificing a bunch of legroom.

awesome thanks. Appreciate it. What seats you have in there, and how much did you lose with this box?

I have a pair of 60/40 split buckets from a newer style s-10.

Lost a few clicks.

Originally I had planned on mounting the 4 channel behind the seats next to the zx, but after realizing that I'll have to take this setup in and out for testing/competitions, I decided to shoehorn it where my little 2 channel was so it's easier to take the daily box in and out.

Console construction:

Cover plate mounted:

Perfect fit. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
