    I used this plastic wrap to create a template on the door and mark the holes
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DFNS29O?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details
    Then used these leather punches to make the holes (used a putty knife to cover the punch then whacked it with a hammer)

    Today, I finished the box for my Skar SDR 18. The sub is running off a Skar LP 750 wired to 1 ohm. The box is 4.6 cuft tuned to 32hz. I fit it all with the single rear seat removed. Still have to carpet the box and make a platform to secure it to the truck.

    The sub is still breaking in, but it loves the 30-36hz range.

    I really like Evergreen's tube bumper, so I'm looking forward to your creation.

    I really, really like it too. I’ve stared at other tube bumpers for inspiration but his nailed it. As much as I don’t want to be a copy cat, I’m pretty much going to be a copy cat. Of course some angles and stuff will be different but the basis will be very similar.

    Similar happened to me. Right before 60k when my truck was still under warranty (luckily) the actuator on my transfer cause took a shit and took the transfer case with it. Took them a week and a half total to figure out what I already told them when I first brought it in. My local dealer are dumbasses. They also thought a Prius was a comparable vehicle to my 6mt 4x4 truck for a loaner :facepalm:

    Good tip, I noticed my pads contact my rotors last time I was in there installing my spindle gussets. Was not aware that this was possible :thumbsup:

    La Mesa Strong! I live in Casa De Oro so not too far away. Great idea to help the store
    La Mesa Strong! Great idea to help out the local shop owner. Will definitely bring him some of the sports equipment I have laying around.

    Probably the same as all the others. Look great but don’t perform very well and might leak.
