Upgrading Stereo

Enclosure looks solid. What did that fab box cost??
Did you retain the HUD radio info on the gauge cluster?

 

I'll ask him and let you know. I don't know if he has a mold though, he made the resin shell mold formed to my truck.

 

What makes you believe it's under sized? I wouldn't have assumed that pocket would have held a box large enough but wasn't sure of you knew some other way.

 

He did cut the cubby larger. But he said when he was reinforcing the resin it took up more space than he thought. It sounds great but with a $600 sub I want to make sure I'm getting what I can out of it. I might measure it with packing peanuts.

 

FYI I have basically the same enclosure and it was about .78-.8cu.ft(glass molded rear but MDF front) not sure off top of my head what JL specs, but usually the shallows can perform in smaller boxes. If you think it's on the low side, throw some poly in and call it good.

Edit: I don't think he "cut the cubby larger"..just chopped the bottom lip off the shelf. (Unless he literally cut the back plastic out, doubt it)

 

How do you like it? What kind of power are you giving it?

 

^ love it.
Although I am running a 10".. enclosure is a little on the large side.(always easier to take away space.. but way harder to add!)
Running ~300w to it

 

Did you make this box? Looks great! I am digging to find someone to make me a box for my 13tw5!

 

Think those are a new type of magnet. I'll have to look it up. More powerful for its size, like a super magnet.

 

Yes, I built it. I have a write up in audio section.

 

That's some great handy work sir!

 

I've been driving around listening to talk radio since I got the truck because I couldn't stand listening to music on this stereo. Be grateful you're happy with it, money you don't have to spend on upgrading.

 

if enough show interest and he likes the idea anything is possible. what i mean is I'm interested.

@kg206 i just saw you have a 2016. mine is '17, apparently there's a difference due to the rear window motor. i might not be able to do this. I'll look into it.

 

Just have more to throw into overland stuff. I get it though. Would be nice to add sound proofing and some better speakers. To get a more crisp sound.

 

@kg206 - if you ever interested in doing a demo let me know. I have a dual 10 box I did, but I haven't been happy with and wanna see what others are doing. I wanna either step up to 12's or something better. I am located in Sumner so not far from ya

 

So Focal K2's fit...front AND back with no major clearance issues?

 

Yeah I wasn't told it wouldn't fit when I talked to him about mounting the Tweeters somewhere about 4 o'clock from the door handles.

 

Ya I actually just passed through there at about 2 miles an hour coming home in the snow from bonney lake. I'm down that way often I'm sure we can link up sometime.

 

I'm more concerned with the woofers dropping in nicely. Plug n play style. Especially the rear coaxials.

Hopefully there's an adapter for the dash mount tweeters. Not feeling like cutting into my door panel just yet.

 

I told him to get a price figured out for when people asked. I actually just paid a lump sum for the enotice install so I'd hate to speculate. I'll ask him though, I expected people to be interested.

Ya radio info and input selection and all that stays on the HUD
