That one big azs box....almost like a wall just laying down

[tripleb45 1]

Exactly everyone wanted me to wall it but I prefer window line. Plus its my dd and my wife may have to drive it one day ......... :-(...... lol.

Got a few goodies in the mail today. (Minus the batteries and 1/0 wire lol)

 

 

On phase one I won't be doing much fiber glassing to the truck yet. Just going as stock looking as possible. If I don't like it, then we will upgrade, but so far so good. Waiting on my DC 175.4, Mechman alt, sound deadener, but we are still moving forward. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On to the box, finally got the resin to dry and put the face (for those who will see it from the rear hatch) on. Looking good. Still have a ways to go, though I will vinyl it. 

 

 

 

 

The rear doors have to be fiberglassed so that will be done tomorrow. Hopefully all my stuff comes in on time and we can get to the next part. BTW These Crescendo 6.5 mids are great and the super tweeters are LOUD!!! We put them on an amp and they were crazy loud (one at a time), but on the stock wiring in the truck these things still sound great and loud. Stay tuned.

Damn your build is going fast

[tripleb45 1]

Lol thanks for the Crescendo gear bro. I believe I will get more 6.5's. Great product. 

[tripleb45 1]

Making a few minor updates. Plus got my 175.4 in today. Also Mechman has begun on my alternator renewal lol. 

 

 

 

 

 

Door panels are being fiberglassed for phase 1 and getting ready to run wire FINALLY!!!!! The box is scheduled to be finished in a FEW DAYS!!!!!

Christmas is coming early for your BIG KID self!

Looks like its going well. The best moment will be that first ride in the truck after finishing a huge build and enjoying your own hard work. Looks great. 

 

While everything is out I would look into doing a 8in midbass in the kick panels if possible. The Nendo 8's really lack in that department, other than that great job

Thought about blacking out the GMC symbol in the grill?

True and I am not sure I will be able to handle it lol. Got in a truck with 3 15's and almost gave up lol. Ears were itching like crazy. Then I got a taste of one if my tweeters and a 6.5 (out of 4) and told them to turn it down lol.

You spoiled my lil surprise lol. Just be patient grass hopper lol.

Actually yes or either that or chrome.

It seems like know you're buying equipment and just shoving it in places. I wouldnt put mids and tweeters there. Just make your front doors house one or two 8s each and one tweeter. Stop buying equipment just to buy it, thats the first way to loose money.

[tripleb45 1]

I am not trying to lose money I just have a pair of super tweeters and wanted to use this space. Also I wanted to add a pair of 8" mid bass speakers to it. This is my last purchase lol. Besides waiting on deadener.

[antoinez28 62]

Love the headlights look like a brand new car

No need for the extra pair of tweeters, you already said one was loud enough. Just sell them. Trust me I used to have 21 interior speakers in my car, so I know a little something about overkill. The more speakers is not always gonna net better results, just stick to doing fiberglassed doors. Just my .02 and cant wait to see the box completed.

[swift 501]

I would do a single 8 dedicated midbass atleast. Something you can cross at say 50hz to 250hz

That is my mindset.

Today's progress. Wires ran (more to go), batteries put in place,

door panels worked on, box sized and worked on, amp rack started, etc.

Start hiding your license plates when posting pics. Most people just scribble the letters and numbers out.
