got cha. for some reason i misread your post and saw "i picked up a set of powerbass amps" and though you were doing two subs. i guess i should read slower lol. none the less that is going to be amazing once it is complete.

[Matt]

yeah don't have THAT much room for 2 lol ....

[Matt]

excuse the tape lol i'm trying to find a leak ... laid deadener on the entire floor all the way from the firewall back and then did the back wall ... i'm going to have 4 amps on the back wall so i've gotta figure out placement it'll be tricky but should work



this is esssentially how the box will fit ... i was just checking clearances .. the top baffle will rest on the bottom of the seat like this however the sub will be atleast 3/4 but probably 1.5" from the top baffle so i doesn't touch the bottom of the seat when going full tilt 2 batteries will be in the middle

i dont mind where my amps are located but i would like to move them into the bed of the truck with a tonneau. that is going to be a lot of heat behind that seat are you going to run a couple of fans?

[Matt]

yes sir ... and the amps that i have dont' get too warm as it is so i should be good ...

gonna run a
powerbass 3000 for the sub
powerbass 4 (460watts) channel running 8 b1 tweets
alpine v-12 2 (600watts) channel running 4 of the w6.5 midbass
alpine v-12 4 (600watts) channel running the 8 vo mids

for each of the front doors going to run:
dd vo 8" mid in the 6x9 spot
then i'm making a pod for the bottom of the door that will hold
2 dd w6.5 which are SUPER beefy midbass
1 dd vo6.5 which are very loud and clear
2 dd b1 supertweeters

each of the rear doors:
dd vo 6.5 in the stock spot
dd vo 6.5 in a pod at the bottom
2 dd b1 super tweeters

and then the 3.5 dash speakers will run off the head unit just for a little fill and well.. bc i already have them wired like that lol

so if you're counting that's 24 speakers in a quad cab and only 1 being a sub ... i've gotten bored in the car audio scene so i'm wanting to do something crazy and honestly except for the sub stage it's actually budget minded i already had most of the equipment and i'm not spending a ton on what i'm running all things considering

[OklaHemi]

holy hell that is a lot of speakers. im excited to hear it all running

[Matt]

me too ... the only thing i am NOT looking forward to is running that damn wire through the door boots lol funny thing is i only have 7 speakers now and 1 amp and it's almost loud enough as it is but just gonna go over the top

figured i should actually finish this thing

well i guess it wasn't THAT bad but still sucked turns out you the boots aren't pass throughs but actual plugs on the cab side so i had to make my own holes in the rear and use a factory grommet in the front ... will be covering with wire loom when i get back to work btw .... i had to run 3 wires into the front door (tweets, mids, midbass) and 2 for the rear (tweets, mids) i decided to do it the right way and run them into the factory harness so un bolted the seat and pulled up the carpet i'm using all kicker wiring 0ga back to the 2/3rd batteries and 16 ga for all the mids/highs

Damn man that 5th pic looks like a nightmare.

[Matt]

finally wired up my viper 5701 2-way alarm/remote start and then added smart start to it





this is awesome lol
