slam's build (pic heavy)

[slammedsilverado 1]

well, to be honest, i just got finished looking through some of the build logs on here. and i can honestly say that, im a little disappointed in my build. this is really my first time doing everything w/o the help of my dad. hes not really around anymore, so i decided to try and tackle this by myself. ive caught alot of crap about how the box looks w/ fiberglass. i thought it was air bubbles at first to. but i didnt let the fleece harden completely, so it started sagging when the glass was kicking off. so its 100% air void free. i even sanded some down to make sure. i have 2 memphis mojo 10s going in it. i was going to run soundstream tarantula trx1500ds for it, but i decided to go with the 1000d and wire each sub to 1ohm. ill be getting a 1000 watts to each sub. anyway, enough rambling on, heres the pictures. be easy on me now haha. first time trying myself.

box is still not completely bondo'ed.

looks good not sure how comfortable it will be tho Ive been concidering redoing the center console box Ive got in my Silverado perhaps I can fit 2 mojo 10s in it I can do atleast 1 tho but Im more after SPL than looks so Ill be useing MDF or Birch

[slammedsilverado 1]

thats what i have. 2 mojo 10s. im using 3/4" MDF for the main portion of the box. just wanted to glass it to make it look good. i just need to finish it to see what it sounds like. oh, and on the comfort part. its just like riding with my arm on the center console. so it feels the same

Ive got 1 mojo 10 and another Mojo Motor Ill probably just stick with one since its not exacly my SPL ride more of a winter/ tow vehicle

not bad, but i would have added some cup holders. lol

[slammedsilverado 1]

haha. i was thinking about going all the way to the dash board. but i have some other plans for the truck.

[slammedsilverado 1]

well i dont know much about fiberglassing and bondo but it looks good to me keep up with pics, i always wanted to do something kinda like this in my s10

[thebiggmann12 14]

are you going to be able to mount the bottom of the top subwoofer? it looks like ur ledge just slowly dissapeared at the bottom of the top hole.

looks good to me.

any pics of the slammed silverado?

[smullen 1]

Seems like its size would make it a bit uncomfortable, but I don't see anything worth anyone giving you a hard time about.... Remember, this is the internet... You could post pics of the most laid out Italian Sports car or a German luxury ride and someone would have something to nit pic about...

Or they really are trying to help...

I say, just take your time and enjoy the project...

If you don't like the way something come out and you have the time and money/Materials and a better game plane redo it...

Looks pretty cool so far to me...

The more time spent on prepping the enclosure (eg sanding, filler, and more sanding) the better the outcome will be in the end. I can't stress this enough... TAKE YOUR TIME. Looks good so far

Did you ever finish this build? The interior looks just like my truck and I was wondering how you finished the enclosure. Looks good so far!
