[blue86f150 0]

Ok I finally made up my mind and im gonna go with 2 Pionner shallow mount 12" subs. Only have one for now, but getting the second one in the next few days.

The Truck

Soon to be 4" taller rollin on 17" Razor rims with Pirrelli Spider AT Tires

The Equipment:

Alpine CDE 9885

3.25" mounting depth, can you say shallow

1 Farad Swiss Audio Capacitor, 1400W 2Ch Hitron amplifier

Everything together the old way

I have no table saw, so i had to improvise. made for some quick clean straight cuts.

Again had to improvise to make the speaker cut out

Everything wired up and fits perfectly under the seat.

Thats all i have for now. more pics to come tomorrow and video of it in action.

ROFL @ monster capacitor!

Should have spent the money that went into that on a better battery. You'd have much better results. And people wouldn't have laughed at you lol

I should of made more clear, the picture with everything on the back wall was my old setup, but reusing everything but the old ported box. The new box is sealed. The box in the picture was about .8ft^3 with a 3" wide, by 4" long port. The new box is around .95ft^3. The cap thing, i got that from a friend about a year ago, cant go wrong with free equipment. But laugh all you want, im gonna get a better batt when i get the money. I still need to get a new alt, gonna go with the irragi 220amp, plenty for the system that i have now, but i want the head room so i can go bigger in the future.

In the doors i have a 5.25" Infinity Kapa 2 ways being powered off the HU. They need more power. The HU is only giving them about 17rms watts, they can handle a lot more than that.

All right, got everything installed yesterday. Got it metered at my local shop and hit 120, not as much as i was hoping, but not bad for one sub. Here is some more pictures and a video of it in action:

bolted to the frame.
